Finding and keeping highly technical people around.

They tend to leave after 1-2 years to better opportunities which I’m happy they receive.

Just not great for business

Hey first off, I’ve found passions projects as the best way to learn.

Many of mine have only resulted in expense, but what I’ve gained in learning has almost always been worth the expense.

There are some good ideas here on reducing cost or increasing revenue. Maybe they will work…

However what I like to do from these learnings is find a way to turn my learning into profit, not necessarily the project.

For example, I’m sure you can find a client who would be interested in building a “discovery” app that uses algorithmic abilities to serve its customers the best recommendations.

And apparently you know how to do this, here is the proof right in front of us. You even found a potential path to profitability for an entrepreneur who has the right marketing skills.

That is how I would use this…

Sell your ability to deliver this concept or sell the entire thing on a website like flippa to a marketer who doesn’t have the tech ability

Good work

Your best bet is a digital service agency of some sort.

Or a physical service like auto detail

Hire someone to do your marketing for you so you can decrease your tech consumption.

You have 2 goals that are opposing each other, that’s the solution that makes sense.

Do what works, just have someone else do it
