Getting Started

I've set up a few websites in the past, but they haven't really worked out well. So I must have something wrong with my execution. I know that I have a real problem in terms of my planning. To be more precise, I have no plan. So the subsequent lack of success can't be considered much of a surprise, I guess. So I've decided to take a moment, pause and try to proceed according to some form of planning.

I've done the technical portion of the project. And I believe it has merit on its own. But the idea is intended to serve the people who use it...so how do I let them know it exists, without appearing to pander for attention? That is a major dilhemma for me...I've never really gone beyond that hurdle. What I probably need is a smaller group of people to use this thing, then have them either let me know what to improve, or encourage others to use it. Obviously, that's the idea situation....it's a good enough service that people will ask others to use it.

I think I'm going to step into a plan here. With some kind of plan, I can tell if I am meeting the goals I have for this project. Like most projects, it will be a plan which has milestones that map to tasks, not revenue. I suppose there are some milestones in some projects that map to revenue, so maybe I will have to think about that.

I'm going to get started on my plan. Hopefully, if I have completed the steps I feel are required to proceed, I will be able to share my plan in my next post.
