Title: I guess I'm a fricken failure in business!
Post by: scarboroughfair on January 10, 2009, 09:10:48 AM
I refuse to lie and deceive my customers!

Free webhosting was one of my biggest selling points, turns out it sucks ass!

I can't run a number of apps on free hosting! Most companies won't tell you this upfront, but I am!
I'm just a reseller....

If I have to lie to make money, I guess I'll be homeless.

NOW!

What I've done is put it on my front page of the store about this issue! lol

I swear I'm not spamming this forum! Susan, just add a "no-follow tag" to this link.

I'm so tired of money hungry people!

I would offer your services for 1/2 price and split the profit with your customers. I would also let them know what your doing so they tell their friends.

Many business models failed in the 90's because of pipe dreams and very little based on facts. The old hard paper contract with all the fine print needs to be signed and read. History has a way of repeating itself for those that are not aware of the past. It takes a lot of homework to make a business successful.

I find all this interesting but am too stupid to understand the questions I want to ask.   :laugh:

Most business fail.  Most people starting their own businesses will not make it on the first, or second one.  Third time seems to be the charm.

Okay. I looked at your page and now I know what to ask.

Are only the free services stinky?  Is it possible to run a pay per month business where people come to you for a site. You provide them with access to a domain name if they need one, you assign them space depending upon the price, and then you sit back and let the payments come in with the occasional tech support work.

Or is it all very different from this scenario?
