Reply to: Coming up with a viable plan B

[Gaz_M]

One of my plan Bs is a crappy little web site. Got sandboxed for the first three months. Then made 70 quid last month, 80 so far this month. Hosting costs 6 quid.

Hardly the big bucks but it's slowly building. Passive income. Scalable and repeatable. Hopefully will be able to keep it growing.

Just reading through some old plan B threads - any update on how your website is doing?

I have 3 websites launched but the eldest is only 4 months down to 1 month for the latest. I'm currently turning over pennies a day but very early days & have been told it can take a couple of years (with adding content weekly) to really see the rewards.

slight hijack (apologies).. but hands up if you're at Knutsford..

Currently have an offer on the table and deciding..

What are the chances of >6 months panning out?

No idea dude, just about to start a 12 monther....

That's part of the fun of contracting - living life on the edge.

No 12 monther in Knutsford?

That's my current Plan A. More time at home gives me that chance to work on a plan B.

You may have noticed my increased post rate over the last few weeks....

Currently working my notice period to get out of the most tulipe place I have worked so far and have plenty of time on my hands...

So I want to use the next 3 weeks to come up with a plan B. Can I get some serious suggestions here? Who has come up with a working plan B? How should I go about it? Do I look at what I do best or think outside the box......

You are a ditherer, stick to permie, you will save yourself some heartache.

Left permie 2.5 years ago. No way I am going back to that again.

Discussing ideas on plan B's is hardly asking a plan B to be handed on a plate to me. Your arrogance is not needed here.

Coming on here and asking for someone hand you a viable business idea on a plate reveals that you are definitely not cut out to create a successful business, you should probably look to go back to permiedom.

What do you do as a contractor? I'm a developer, I have only just taken the plunge into contracting, i have a number of ideas that i think could do ok, so i dont thinks that it is a waste of time, i am combining doing it with some personal training.

For example 1 idea i have is a website with a number of services also provided. Going to develop it whilst teaching myself web-api, then if it doesnt make me millions, i have still go something out of it.

Have you read "The long Tail"?
