Starting My Own Micro ISV
A recent post on Software by Rob lists some survival techniques for freelance developers. Since I am trying to freelance to pay the bills while I get some of my ideas going this article was very apt for me. One of the ideas that I have been working on in my brain is creating a small service that people can pay to use. With the help of iMaptTools and LeadDog I now have such a service. Using the reverse for forward geocode data the iMaptools has built I have added on a front end that allows use to register users and bill for thier transactions. It was pretty fun to build, and I knocked it out pretty fast. We have to put the finishing touches on the service. I know that I have the ability to build stuff, now I just have to figure out how to promote them.
