I don't want to sound like I'm promoting Merb, but this is actually a very good place to launch your career.
Here's a sure-fire eight-step business plan, compliments of a well-wisher:
1. Become a Merb advertiser (a modest investment you'll be able to pay off with your first date)
2. In the advertisers section, introduce yourself and ask this community for suggestions about building your website, what niches remain unserviced in the market and so on.
3. Participate in discussions in the Lounge on topics of your choice. Many people here love to read the views of SPs. And indies are particularly appreciated. Try to be authentic.
4. Try to get the members you seem to click with online to pay you a visit and do a first positive review.
5. Develop time management skills or hire a personal assistant.
6. Reign as Queen of Merb for approximately 3 months.
7. Announce you've had a good time in the biz, but have decided to move on to pursue other career and/or educational interests. Quit the biz and break your groupies' lonely hearts.
8. Return some time later at double your initial rate. Milk the market.
You can take that to the bank.
Best of luck,
JB
