When I see something like this, I get frustrated. And when I realize that I can help fix this problem for other people, I get an idea that I should do just that. Of course, starting a new project always has a cost; even if it is well-contained, there may be costs when you have to reply to email from other people who are trying to use your project, or things change that affect your project (such as Facebook APIs or Foursquare APIs changing).
In this case, what I think I can do is to help spread easy-to-understand information about how technical professionals can incorporate themselves. The medium for me is the web, because I want to address the lack of clear knowledge here; and that means that I’ll be blogging information. This isn’t a well-contained task because as I learn more things about running a corporation, or realizing mistakes, I’d want to share it on my blog. So it’s going to take some upkeep time on my part for sure.
Is it worth it to do? Maybe. From a selfish point of view, it gives me an opportunity to (yet again) try and earn income through publishing and advertising. Hopefully it will be more successful than my attempt with Photoquickies. It’ll be an uphill climb, mainly because there are already a lot of websites out there that use the same keywords; but I’m hoping that my focus on incorporate Yourself, on technical fields (like IT, software, engineering), and a do-it-yourself mentality will generate positive word of mouth and drive traffic to it.
We’ll see how long my motivation and willingness to type up long articles last.
