  • In the least harsh way possible: it takes a lot of ideas to have a good idea. I’ve been there. I’ve had hundreds of business ideas. Maybe 10 I’ve ran a bit with before realizing it wasn’t right. One I’m playing with seriously and just came across the idea. This is the one I won’t set down because as others have said, I’m 99% sure that when I offer this up it will fall straight into already outreached hands. Ideas without a market are just ideas :-). But it takes a lot of ideas to get good at thinking about them it seems 🤷



  • If you want to hire commission for this try to make the position fully remote if at all possible. Fully remote sales is such a unicorn that it makes up for some of the risk of being a straight commission 1099 that you are asking for. A good sales person should be able to sell just about anything so with a solid track record from the company it’s also not much of a risk to a good agent.


  • Web design as a service is the only “real” business there. The others are sort of make money quick schemes that internet money making gurus came up with essentially to make themselves money. They aren’t impossible but they are improbable and likely played out.

    Web design can definitely be a real business. Niche down if you enter it. Start with people you know who are in business but don’t have great websites or healthcare providers seem to be a general category without enough of a web presence. There is growing competition to build for them from what I’ve seen which is either a good sign if you’re really good or a bad sign if you’ll blend in.
