Conclusion

The opportunities available to you on the web are endless. If you have an idea that you truly believe in, don't let anyone convince you otherwise. There will always be people out there that will tell you that it will never work or that it has been done before, but don't get discouraged. Continue to push forward and don't give up until you have seen it through all the way to the end.

Over the last 10 months, Eugene and I have easily put in over 6,000 hours to make the website what it is today. Making money online (and I am not referring to those Made-For-AdSense websites) is extremely difficult and the margin of success is very small. Regardless of what happens to planjam, the two of us have learned more over the past 10 months than we could have ever imagined possible. We have spent the last few months perfecting our proof-of-concept to deliver a final product that we are truly proud of.

I hope that after reading this, you have a good idea of what it takes to come up with and develop a website from scratch, regardless of how much web experience you may have. Delivering a complete website is not an easy feat and it requires a considerable amount of work. But when you are finally finished and ready to unveil your website to the public, you will feel a great sense of pride because you can look back and see what all your hard work has done.

If I can leave you with one final piece of advice, it's to be patient. Things don't happen over night, and contrary to popular belief - if you build it, they won't come. Be prepared to work hard because you will have to earn every set of eyes that go on to your website.
