I Believed the hype. Thought I could quit my job, and have my web app be my sole source of income. Boy was I wrong. After 4 failed web app, I'm still trying to design one that will make me a sustainable income.

Don't believe the hype. It's a lot easier to get funding, than to make a web app financially sustainable. Don't quit your day job. Program during your free time.



Agree. I know some people who think that the profits will come after they'll get funded; my guess this is one of the reasons so many fail.

I wish I could up-vote your comment since I find it insightful, but it looks like I don't have enough karma to do so. :)


That can't be right - you don't need any karma to upvote. If you think you can't upvote, there's another reason.


It isn't a Field of Dreams, you're right. You also have to market, advertise and sell, sell, sell.
