So it could bereally important to use experience of successful businessmen. We have found inetersting post at Loic Le Meur blog with his vision of startup rules. Here they are:
- Do NOT invent revolutionary idea. You will never do it. Just concentrate youself on a simple, interesting and free segment and fill it as fast as you can.
- Share your idea. The more you share, the more advices you get. Meet your competitors, you will learn much.
- Build community. Use blogs and social networks to be sure that people heard about you. But "heard" and "community" are different. Community means that "heard" and "support".
- Listen to you users. They could help you to improve your product. Do what users need.
- Put a team together Invite those whose knowledge differs from yours, someone who better then you.
- Be the first to admit problem Everyone could take a mistake. Discuss the problem and remove it.
- Do not waste time on market research Start your beta version ASAP! And then continue to improve it.
- You do not need big business planPlan is never completed as it should. It could prepared only for investors.
- Do not plan large marketing campaigns More important is what your users think about your product.
- Do not concentrate on getting rich Concentrate on your users. Money is a consequence of success, not the aim of it.
