Sometimes all you need
is a little boost. When I began developing my very first online service back in 2005, I bootstrapped whatever. I would invest a few hundred dollars here and there to attempt and grow numerous concepts I had. This method worked well, however was extremely slow.
I spent 6 years from 2005 to 2011 doing most things myself, building out little niche websites, trying to invest as low as possible and still grow my income. Finally,
my websites began doing well enough, that I was able to stop my job in 2011! I was a full-time entrepreneur! I came up with the concept of Long Tail Pro, a keyword research study tool, that I thought might be a hit! I’m not a software application engineer, and the price was$15,000 to get the initial
variation off the ground. That quantity of money was a substantial financial investment for me at the time, and I didn’t take it lightly. For a time, I believed perhaps it wasn’t economically accountable for me to invest that kind of cash when I had a wife and household to support.
Nevertheless, I took the risk and had the software established.
I’m sure grateful I did! Long Tail Pro was a substantial hit and has actually permitted me to invest and grow a number of other businesses because that time.
While I think this approach worked well in my situation, perhaps there is another technique.
- What if I had been able to partner with somebody?
- What if I had been able to get some funding?
- Would I have had the ability to skip those 6 “slow growth” years and stop my task rather?
As I look back on my experiences, and as I’ve connected with other potential online business owners over the years, I understand there are others that might gain from a small financial investment or some guidance from someone who has existed before.
I wish to give a few ambitious entrepreneurs a little increase with some funding and partnership.
