Things of that nature. Almost any site or idea has been thought out for some time before investing a dime.
This is any awesome reply. Thanks for the great detail here. I need to get my act together, stop trying to make a couple small bucks here and there and focus on building a true business with a real model. Barefootsies, you have a few things that I don't right now which is what I will have to work around (capital, office, time to work for self during day, etc.). Granted these are just obstacles not excuses. Thanks for the guidance here. I needed that!
