Why ever not? Money for old rope. You can then use the generated funds to do 'better' things, like buy a few fish'n'chip shops.

Just don't eat away your meagre profits

I think he meant going down the old rent boy route, Threaded.

How do you think old "Sore Arse" Threaded made his money? It wasn't all Cray Supercomputers and "Time Machines" when he first started out ya know!

He is ex-public school so perhaps he should stick with what he knows best.

Hmm...flash of understanding....Is the Pet Shop Boys song, "I Love You (You Pay My Rent) about rent boys ?

Definately no sex industry related stuff.

I am fairly sure there is revenue from this, there is just some more hard slog up to the summit and a bunch of decisions I have to get mostly right for it to work.

If anything it has been the most exciting software project I have worked on in years. 7 years I have contracted and it has mostly been working with a bunch of ass monkeys. The financial contract market in Scotland is now dead and if this fails I will be back to a perm role for 35,000 grand a year for the rest of my life. That is was drives me now.

In a slack permie job you can still find up to 20 hours a week for a Plan B if it's going somewhere depending on family stuff. Or, if there's code to churn out you could pay a cheapo coder to do it

Let's not document or share knowledge.

What does this have to do with contracting or anti-contracting - I have found this to be a problem in every time of organisation.

Now all I have to think about is where to store the stock, or whether to store the stock at all.

I have heard that 'drop shipping' is the best way of selling things - that way someone else has to wrap up and label the package and post it!

Cheers

PS good luck with the new arrival

35,000 grand is a lot of money....

Best of luck - my big idea plan B - estimated to make a lot of money - turned into Plan 9 from Outer Space

It was working on a dull maintenance project for a bank that was killing me.

I cant believe you said that!!

[Platypus]

The site will make money I am sure of that but how much I do not know, I think there is a small chance it could be very big

[SantaClaus]

I'm quite happy to work 24/7 on my plan B, because it's something I enjoy.
I'm often working until 1 am and on weekends.

I ditched my contract in Febuary to work on plan b, it began has a hobby thing a couple of years ago and the application just grew and grew. IT will be going live in a couple of weeks but seing the way AtW gets around here with SKA there is no way I would be posting the site on here.

The site will make money I am sure of that but how much I do not know, I think there is a small chance it could be very big but if it pulls in 30,000 -> 40,000 a year I would be happy with that. I hate working and if I got that for doing nothing then I could keep my investments intact.

The main problem is that you cannot just switch of a 5:30 like a normal job, it takes up a great deal of my time and when I am not working I am thinking about it. I have not played my xbox in about half a year, my piano is also pretty much untouched.

HAB is right, it takes up too much time and the next few months I will be marketing the thing like crazy.

[HairyArsedBloke]

You're going to hate working in a small business even more. You'll spend even less of your time doing techie stuff as marketing, bookeeping, etc will take up most of your time. Cutting corners (=costs) is a way of life. You'll spend even less time with your family.

Sorry.
