As a developer, the features I mentioned above seem like a necessity from day one.

But by getting over the need to automate everything to infinite scale and putting a VA in charge of manually creating new hosted accounts, the time investment to get this feature launched dropped from 160 hours of work to about 10 hours.

The reason? They are not your market.

as they want. You could even charge $19.99 for a T-shirt of the cover.

Offering something in exchange for an email address is guaranteed to work better than offering nothing.

My VAs have saved me literally hundreds of hours over the past few years.

The product with a sizable market and low competition wins even with bad marketing, a bad aesthetic, and poor functionality.

Realizing the differences between development and entrepreneurship is something that will benefit you in the long run as you pursue your dream of starting a company.
