Over the last couple of weeks, I've been toying with a startup idea.
My concern is this:
Should monetization be an afterthought ? With the current economic market, its evident that an ad-based biz model only might not be sustainable.
But the moment that I try to dissect my idea from a monetization perspective, I cant come up with anything. That makes me rethink, revisit and re-evaluate my idea.
In fact, when I start analyzing most of my ideas from the perspective of 'make something people will buy' (credit-Sachin Rekhi), it invalidates pretty much all of them.
Do you think I should worry about monetization later ? Build a community / user base and the money will follow ? Or am I just over-analyzing stuff ?
