Hey guys and dolls,
Let me start by apologizing just in case I posted this in the wrong place, I figured I'm beginning a startup so...
Anyways, I've been a lurker on here for a long and I want to thank guys like Vigilante and LikWid24, and of course MJ (whose book I am currently re-reading!).
After thoughts about going into the licensing business, low end real estate, etc., I finally found an idea I want to pursue. It is where I believe I can provide the most value.
I don't want to talk about the idea on here just yet (I know, I know, I don't mean to be another one of those).Basically, I'm starting a website to provide a service for a specific niche. I haven't seen anything like it so far and I see a great opportunity.
Here's what I've done so far:
So basically, as I move forward, I am seeking help from friends and family to find someone who can help me develop the site, as I don't believe I can do it myself...let me explain, I'm not being pessimistic. I am currently in my third year in college taking 24 credits this semester and I work part time to pay my bills. I can work on the site and design it how I want(html, css, etc) but would need help implementing the backend stuff (databases, perhaps implementing AJAX, etc.).
My next steps are to take the feedback I get after interviewing the business owners and use it to add to my requirements, etc.
I realize I have a lot of work ahead of me, but it is definitely an exciting endeavor.
Thanks again to all the great content providers on here. I know that since posting on here, I'll feel more of a sense of accountability to push forward.

Here's what I've done so far:
- Made basic requirements for the site and service
- Scheduled interviews with people in the business who I'm making the service for to get their opinions on how to tweak it to benefit them the most.
- Started to create a web outline and use cases.
- In the process of determining the best revenue model for the site.
