Words are cheap - I have a plan and work on it, stage by stage, so far things go pretty well and next year they will go a lot better.

Originally posted by AtWNo. What I am saying is that in principle it is easier for me to break into established market because of my cost competitiveness. $50k for 1 mln document index search engine is a total rip off, I'd do it for $40k
The sort of customer you need will not be impressed by a 'cost competitive' (i.e. cheap) one-man band.
Set up some kind of organisation and get capital funding.
Products, no matter how good or cheap - do not sell themselves.
You need marketing and business skills.
But of course you're too arrogant to listen to any advice.

Originally posted by AtWI aim for the stars. But it gives me confidence to know that in the worst case scenario I will still be fine because it would be pretty much impossible to be more cost competitive than me.

Originally posted by AtWLess than £20k. Six weeks contracting gave me almost as much, and I've got SKA derived licensing deal to be finished next week, waiting for the first payment to arrive into bank account, life is not bad eh?
Aim for the rooftops and you'll probably end up in the gutter.

Originally posted by AtWI'll take my chances friend - if necessary I can give away product for free and charge for custom development and consulting, I am pretty confident I can earn enough to break even. I actually broke even this year with plenty of cash for hardware purchases.
