That's always the catch-22 right? You want to have a big platform for small businesses and make good money doing it, but you don't it overrun with the people that kind of popularity attracts.
I think you're right though, stay small, maybe have two or three smaller platforms to generate the revenue you want, while still making it exclusive to small businesses. I think that approach might keep you under the radar for a longer stretch.
- stinkytaco 6y agoIt's the same thing that happened to ebay and kickstarter and I'm sure many others. It does feel inevitable. On the other hand, if it's not inevitable I wouldn't know because that platform is staying small. One thing I'll say is that there are a number of business that I use (both B2B and B2C) that are highly specialized but manage to be successful because they are not interested in growth. I suspect there's lots of these out there that are maintaining their own platform or using an out of the box solution, but that most of us never know about them because we don't need to interact.
