what is the product? find a niche, milk it and move to the next one :) that's what I do/did. I developed a real estate management package, (Very small) that is readily and easily up for a real estate company within 2 weeks. I sell it for a certain amount and more for mods.....after that, I just ask that they tell people, and talk it up....in the meantime, have a steady job, and enjoy life....sell your passion on the side, while the regular paychecks come in for your life. when it gets too big, and you are selling web apps left and right, then, when you can match your current salary with the income from the web apps....enjoy it all and move on!

It's hard to do absolutely everything myself, so I throw this out to some of you that have your own company. What did you do? Did you start with money? Hire people? Do everything yourself? Have a kick ass product that got you off the ground? Cold called people? Sent out a mailing? What did you do? I have an application I made that is pretty polished and am just looking for ideas on how to get this thing out the door to people as either a service or as a stand alone app people can buy. WHAT DO I DO!!!!!! Anyways, sorry for the OT, flame away, but I figure there has to be a couple other people that could benefit from this discussion, let me know if this needs to move over to cf-community so I can sign up for it.
