Some of us are born entrepreneurs and the rest are the arm chair variety. How does one go from germination of an idea, to the implementation and subsequently creating traction. Social networking - the new buzz word. There are a number of ideas which can be developed on the strenth of the network - but for any social site to be a success, the one key requirement is the number of people on it - and doesnt that become a chicken and egg story. How do you get people to your site without already having people on the site.
We've been searching for a house for the past one and a half months. Found one - hallelujah! But that got me thinking - how useful would a site be, one which was like a review website for houses. So, if I am moving out of my current house, I give feedback about the house, the area, the landlord, advantages, problems faced. Wouldnt that be useful!! And of course, put a little bit of the fear of God into landlords. Right now we are all shooting in the dark. And so we keep searching for a house every 6 months to a year; move in with trepidation; and after a week of living, heave a sigh of relief or start counting the days to when you can use the six month break clause.
And, of course, advertising would certainly be a big element of the business model - agents, movers/ packers, goods for sale, goods for rentals, rooms for share
But then for this idea to be successful, I need a core number of entries which gets the website visited......how do you tackle that.....whatsay???
