I plan on building a brand / culture that appeals to my user base allowing them to "connect" with the website. I believe that I understand how the user base thinks, their likes and wants. Also, there are basically five large "pay for listings" type websites on the market now. They will switch to my site because all listings will be free and focused wholly on their market.

The user base (market)that I will be catering to uses websites like Google and Craiglist and other pay for ads type classified websites (even though Craiglist is free). Just because we do not use the websites I mentioned does not mean we do not use the internet. This market has 1000 times more buying power then the teenagers using Facebook and the like. I think that a lot of businesses think like sheep and just do what ever everybody else is doing and forget to think outside the box. Thank you for your reply!!!

Thank you for your reply. Option 1. I have a full time job, I am limited in time to learn how to code. Option 2. I looked into websites like Elance and Odesk and not really sure who to trust based on some bad reviews. Option 3. I believe can build the website with funds I have. I prefer not to have a partner at this time. Been there before and I usually run circles around them. You did not mention hiring a web developer / company?

It's all cylical, always has been, always will be. Where else are you going to put your cash.....the bank so you can 1.5%? Or how about some realestate?
