Work clever only applies, if you know what to be clever about.

Telling people to build a better mousetrap is not any help if they don't have a clue what it is or how to find out about it. See this for some clues. https://gfy.com/showpost.php?p=19070507&postcount=1
Sorry buckaroo. No one is going to give you the blueprint, hold your hand, and wipe your ass.

People have pointed you in the right direction, if you can't take it from there, you do not deserve to be in business. If people need someone to give them the blueprint, explain every little detail, to the point of developing direct competitors, you're helpless.

At that point, you (in general terms, not you specifically) need someone to help wipe your ass, and deserve to die out (like many of the 2001 guys have done) or be forced back to the fry-o-later and paper hat where you belong.

Your business model was a fluke, and based on good internet bubble timing, nothing more.
