Advice on How to Start an IT Business (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on from the if-you're-the-boss-and-you-don't-like-the-boss-you-have-a-big-problem dept.

Lee Drake owns a small IT service and sales company in Rochester, New York, called OS Cubed. He was a cubicle denizen many years ago, and didn't like it. So he started his own business, first with a partner and later as the sole owner. Rochester may be part of the infamous "rust belt," but Lee seems to be doing well, to the point where he's happy to pass on some tips about how to start and grow your own IT business. While Lee's company specializes in "Microsoft solutions," his advice applies to almost any IT business -- and almost any other kind of business, too.

  1. Autoplay video is bad, and you STILL get it wrong! by wonkey_monkey · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What the hell is wrong with you, Slashdot? Autoplaying video is incredibly annoying and an insult to your readers (who, by and large, know how to play a video they want to watch).

    But, what's worse, you've managed to make it even more annoying than normal!

    1. The video doesn't autoplay right away - there's a delay of several seconds, plenty of time for someone to scroll down to the comments only to then have the video start playing out of view.
    2. With Flashblock on, the audio plays, but there's no video (mind you, in this case the video is largely superfluous)
    3. There's no volume control
