| I have 5,000 unique visitors using my website, how to capitalize? Posted: 09 Dec 2017 06:11 PM PST I made a simple website to host other people's schedule at work that ended up being use as some sort of a new social-network by 5,000 people connectint from that site to Facebook and then invite members from there to my site. Basically, I'm stealing Facebook users to use my site, then hoping the original 200 people that were using my site that invited 5,000 more will eventually invite maybe 1,000,000 new unique visitors. Obviously the reason why I am thinking of capitalizing is because of the cost and my site has been allowing users to upload videos, images, and sharing with their own friends in secured private way different from Facebook where you're force to share things to public. Right now I'm getting 500 newly visited users registering and another 20 new unique visitors just visited not registered for a new account, does anyone know how can I capitalize from this? Or should I wait and how I could get 100k to 500k or more then go right ahead and find a method to capitalize? I'm also venturing into game-developing I wasn't interested getting into social-network, but my domain name fits exactly what a social network is that I can implement changes that caters to these types of people.

| Posted: 09 Dec 2017 08:54 PM PST I'm a 28 year old college grad with a stable, federal job in the Bay Area. I make enough money to save for potential projects and I have enough time outside of the 40 hour workweek to develop skills. I currently have no programming knowledge. I also have poor training in math and science. I studied philosophy in college and I tend to gravitate towards social sciences. I am interested in creating services within entertainment, nightlife and social interactivity. More specifically, I am interested in either 1)creating an event finding app or 2) creating a service that autonomously generates things for people to do by predicting their interests and filtering them into tribes with other users who share similar interests. The core of the services I want to create relates to predicting people's interests and connecting them with real world events that they want to attend. I am interested in learning about blockchain technology and machine learning to apply to these services. My startup ideas are broad and undeveloped and I'm confused about how to specify them and eventually create a prototype. Should I begin by learning to program or should I continue doing market research and trying to draft a project outline to pitch to other people working in the industry? Inevitably I will eventually have to do the latter, but I'm just trying to figure the best way to spend my time right now so I can potentially start a project within a year or two. Thanks for any responses! [link] [comments]  |
| [Advice] A Former Mentor Is Implementing My Idea. Should I Keep Going? Posted: 09 Dec 2017 08:18 AM PST I've been developing an app idea for two years now. Early last year I was able to meet somewhat of a mentor who held senior professional ties to the startup world through a well-known dating app. He and I chatted long distance over the phone about the specifics including the functionality, title, and possible future expansion of the project as well as more short-term planning. After several of these chats spanning a few months we lost contact (he no longer answered my calls). I was disheartened, but eventually decided to move forward with gathering information for how the app should be built and my potential audience as we planned-- this is how I learned about Reddit and why I must be vague here. Late this year I became aware of an app with the exact name, purpose and ALL of the functions I discussed with this project manager. This app has around 10k downloads ATM, although it is still in its infant stages. I have asked around about the main developer/founder, and was not shocked to find that we reside in the same city and run in similar circles. I believe my would-be mentor pulled a Zuckerberg lite and found this partner. Although, I'm sure I don't have enough proof to challenge him. All our correspondence was by phone and we only met twice. I'm devastated because this project held all my hopes for my personal and professional future. I could still launch this project with the help of two supporting organizations (development and marketing) I'm within reach of. However, I haven't said "go" because I would end up looking like a knock off of my own idea. For instance, the name I chose was synchronous with the design I chose for the app- I would need to rewrap everything at the very least. I'm asking if you all would advise me to continue putting this thing together or let go? I've spent two years dreaming, planning, networking, learning, and coding to bring my vision to life, and I do not wish to give it up now. But it seems I've been had. What would you do?

| Posted: 09 Dec 2017 05:14 PM PST Hello, I have a very good few products that would (Not eliminate) but incredibly help the elimination of bed bugs. I made a really shitty product for my house and I havn't been bitten in months, but I need to improve it. Is it worth it to try an manufacture it even though I can not patent the idea. I could probably make some really good blue-prints and go to a company or fabrication. I honestly don't even understand how some people present their ideas "Ready made" like they do on "Shark tank" or "Dragons den" It's like they have a manufacturer at home? I don't understand business side of things. I have never taken a business course. [link] [comments]  |
