Up On Main Street

I can not believe the information I have received from this course I am taking online.

I had to scrap my original idea that I had and start over when I was in lesson 7. I realized that the market that I wanted to get into was huge and yes, I could make money from that market, but the effort to try and build a website was not feasible within that market. It was just way to much competition.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy competition, but I can not compete with Amazon, Ebay and such.

I have changed my focus and after much pondering…I finally realized what my passion is live is and that will be my focus on my website. Yes, there is competition, but I realized as I read my competitors websites the information they were giving was very misleading and many time incorrect.

I have to wonder if this was done on purpose or did they just create the website to make money. If you make a website for that purpose alone, I don’t think that it will have a long term staying power. Ok,,,,maybe 3-4 years. But sooner or later the money wave will crash. I am not looking to just make a quick buck this month then change my focus to something else next month.

I want to be able to build a business that will grow. Over the last 5 years the internet has changed so much, I can not image the impact it will have in 5 years from now. I want the website that I create to be here in 5 years, 10 year and even 15 years. If I build it right the first time, my time spent will be rewarded many times over.

I wonder….how many websites were created even one year ago that are no longer around because they did not want to spend the time to do it right.
