 Re: YouTUBE Goobbled Up: Instant Billionaires | |
Entirely agree.. The First Move Advantage is sure a forceful factor.. At the same time, I think that web sites in general are a numbers game. The web business is all about numbers.. As you say, there is nothing magical about YouTube.. There is nothing magical about any website you see on the web.. What Google paid for was not a website, rather, what they paid for is 32million visitors per month. I am sure we can all do something with that if we had it. The old theory of buying leads is still live and kicking.. Your website is not making money, yet, it has the numbers, Bingo, you're rich because someone else that has a product for the numbers will pick it up and make you rich over night.. I still think 2 Billion dollars is a bragain for a website that pulls 32 million hits.. but hey, these boys were looking for $300 18 months ago..
The web fly phenomena is magical.. with one small cheap sugar cube, you will have millions of flies buzzing... The key is to come up with the sugar cube and place it in a way noticeable by the flies.
AltaVista is older than Google, Yahoo started with a guy that had no place to sleep when he first moved to Silicon Valley so he slept under his desk and worked at night naked, PayPal started with a couple of guys that had a pc that was connected to the power with a Kettle lead.. the stories never end.. Ultimately, this shows one thing, the web business is a different game.. you don't have to be a millionnaire to make millions, but you can't be brain dead either..
Trust me.. if people love what you have to offer, they will come to you.. People = Numbers = Money.
Therefore, I prefer to work for the people.. the money will automatically follow.  |
