I agree your capital can be your skills and not your cash. I am in the process of creating a site that is focused on helping people to carve out a niche for themselves, and I need your advice.
The site will be allow for users to seach for professionals who specialize in a particular area.
Unlike most of the other site out there that only have 2 or so categories, I want to have 4 maybe more.
Let say you are looking for an application developer.
Instead of Software & Technology/Application Development.
I think it should be
Software & Technology/Appplcation Development/PDA

This is driving me crazy. What is the best way to break it down. Any ideas would be appreciated.
First congradulations on your success with your PDA software. I am 100% with you a few dozen orders at $99.00 dollars and you bet that you can make a decent living. Carving out an area in the market is key. That's why I need your advice. You have done it. I want to create a company similar to the freelance websites with one key difference. Instead of coders being turned into a comodity. I see a market place where coders like yourself are able to stake a claim, and make good for themselves. What I need help with is the task of creating categories that make sense. For example I see the top level being something like Software/Applications/PDA, but then the problem is the 4th level. I figure that there needs to be 4 or more levels to break things downs so they make sense. What I want to avoid is having 1000 PDA gurus and no way for the buyer to no the difference.
