 A Start-Up Boom: It's a Great Time for Web Site Start-Ups
Introduction
According to Time Magazine, April 27, 2009 issue, it's a great time for
web site start-ups. Article writer Josh Quittner, says that web-based
ventures, which have low costs to deal with, can easily get off the ground
with good, old-fashioned hard work and patience. We will learn a lot from
Josh, who gives five basic ideas why the start-up boom can be advantageous to all.
Good ideas for our times
If we can find good ideas that will fill a need in our present century
- which is now in the crucible of financial troubles, we just might get
more than we expected. An idea that presents a positive outlook, or exudes
a spirit of hope, will harvest a sizeable amount of clientele, looking for
ways to economically and emotionally survive the global financial crises.
So, if you are like me, who love to write, you can create a web site
start-up that helps people help themselves - to get out of the pit of
negativity, and climb out to reach the top of positive thinking.
How do we start a web site start-up?
Josh Quittner gives five ideas by which we can start our web site
start-up. I have edited these ideas to accommodate and integrate some of
the principles given by John Paul II in his 36th World Communications Day
Message.
1. Find a co-founder or live in a very supportive environment
Many people need to have a partner in a venture. This is common.
However, if you can venture on your own, and live in a very
supportive environment, such as a family or an extended family
system, then this will get your web site start-up quickly off
the ground.
2. Find a problem to work on
Because of the demands of modern-day living, people find almost no
time to sit down longer, to calm down their nerves, to reflect on
what really matters most in life. If your web site start-up can provide
these to people, then whenever they need to "slow down" their pace, and
to need some time to "listen" - you can have quite a clientele.
3. Launch something simple quickly
The faster you get your web site up and working, the more you can
take advantage of this start-up boom that Quittner is writing about.
One suggestion I can give is to get your web site start-up quickly
and operating well, and then promote it in social networks such as
MySpace, Facebook, Multiply, Friendster, or LinkedIn. Friends in
your social networks will eventually tell their other friends about
your web site services.
4. Make adjustments rapidly in response to users' reactions
Since building a web site is becoming easier and easier to do, then
you can easily adjust what needs to be adjusted, to fill in the need of
your users' responses and reactions. This is easily done by simply
writing an article or a blog post, that will give them ideas to:
stay healthy (bodily and spiritually); save money; to cut on the
cost of living expenses; to organize their life (online and offline);
and to find ways for easier communication with family, relatives, and
friends. These are just a few basic ideas we can adjust in our
web site start-up.
5. Always be low-cost in your approach to fill up peoples' needs
With very big corporations facing a great challenge to survive in our
global network of meltdowns, and increasing lack of liquidity, the web
site start-up that we can build, need not capitalize on much funding.
Micro and small web site start-ups don't really need much money. It
is harder for very small start-ups (compared to big multinationals)
to run out of funding, if we consistently keep to a very low-cost
approach in building our micro-web site to provide simple but useful
solutions.
Why not start a web site start-up now?
If you are interested in the information provided by Josh Quittner,
then why not start one web site in this new start-up boom. At
this present times, we need to really be low-cost in our approach
on the Web. The best web hosting company that we can rely on
at this time of financial crises, is Philhosting.Net. With just 100 MB
of file storage, you can create a micro-web site start-up for about
$7 a year. A domain name through the web site, costs about $10.50 a year.
The company gives you an option to pay in Philippine Peso
or Australian Dollars. This web hosting package is called Personal
Light and is hosted on a Linux-based server.
Being your own boss: Self-employment
If you are tired of working for someone else, or if you have lost
a job, why not be your own boss, and do what you always love to do
at your own time (instead of the eight-hour job which ties you down).
Our web site is basically about web site and blog development. The
information in the site is free, and we give private tutoring services
via email messages, for those who need customized help and support in
building their web or blog site. You can have an overview of the
concepts we used in web site development by downloading our free
Catholic eBook. And yes, there is also an advantage to being Catholic
in these times, and in starting a web site start-up: because we Catholics
place all our trust, hope, and confidence ultimately in Divine Providence.
