I still think we're headed towards an era of "glocalization". I haven't heard this term since college geography courses, but we're headed back to an age where we are all local blacksmiths and silversmiths. We'll all be working for ourselv

Hey, I'm the iBuildMvps guy. Most of the inquiries are people who have done no customer development - I usually send them away to talk to customers - very few come back after that. I don't do fixed charges, hourly rates seems to avoid prob

Agreed. Should definitely be more niche - also need to take into account internet usage and demographics such as disposable income. If someone works full time and makes less than $20K, they're probably not in your target market.

"Do I sell? Do I Raise" What are you trying to do exactly? What's the goal? Why are you selling the business? It doesn't seem clear in your question. Why would you raise capital if you're trying to sell?

I personally think you are an "idea guy" until you finally pursue your first startup, then your perspective changes when you see the actual process. I like how customer development is helping idea guys prove their worth. If more "idea guys

Very interesting - well done! Quick question: How did you guys spark demand? Tell bloggers, adsense, B2B, Twitter? This viral campaign must have been kickstarted somehow. What was the kickstart?
