This week was a short one, but had a deep impact noneles.
I spent a good amount of time chatting with curators, and list creators. It helped me realize many hidden opportunities around my original idea.
I also opened a pandora box... Curatorlist.com has 3 pillars: Curated lists, Community & Monetization.
So, naturally, I started doing a deeper research for the second one: "Community", and trying to contact people that had a better understanding about it than me. That's when I contacted @8bit and started chatting...
Five minutes into the conversation he said to me: Have you started building a product and don't have a community first?
You need to build a community before you build a product. Don't build anything until you're entirely certain of a customer!
Thanks John for the wise words!
Now, back to the drawing board, or maybe... the community drawing board.
