I finally have the time and space to spend 30+ hours a week on my own projects, and I will be building a software business on the side while I freelance a little.
I've already started building something, but it isn't that commercial in nature. The plan is to build a small, dell-defined MVP each month of the year until I find something that sticks. This might change per MVP depending on how much promise I see at week 4.
Anyway.. I've been reading about SaaS and platforms. I recently bought a book called Platform Revolution. Website is platformed.info. It makes a great case for how the structure of future tech companies might largely follow this model. To clarify - platforms are websites that rely on interactions between users to provide value - producers/sellers and consumers/buyers.
One of the obvious problems with building traction with this model is that it requires value to be produced from either side.
I was just wondering if this kind of model is something to focus on later on in my product career, and instead focus on something more direct sales at first - such as ecommerce or saas, or even information products. I remember reading from Amy (Unicorn Free/ Stacking The Bricks) who advised you start with really small products and get used to launching things.
I just think perhaps I'm setting myself up for 10 times more work if I try to build a platform vs something more 'traditional'.
Thoughts on these models or this approach?
