Focus on longevity. Work a job. Save and invest. Keep costs low. Find and contact prospects personally. Provide support. Gauge feedback. Improve. Survive. If you need help, I run a platform at webmenu.org that may help you help people. Best regards.

“Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice. Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.”

Thank you Madiba. May your peace rest in all.

I think there's value in providing a quick, clean overview and recommendation of applications to potential buyers before they pursue further. WebMenu could potentially be sort of like a mall, where buyers walkthrough and get a glimpse of what apps are selling through their window screens, so to speak, before they enter the store.

You have an awesome service as well, and I would definitely enjoy possibly collaborating. Right now, I'm focused on featuring smaller Saas and consumer applications that need help presenting their service to new users in an easily understandable format. I really want this service to provide users with high quality information about applications through descriptions, screenshots, and reviews. I would love to talk a bit more privately. You may email me at contact(at)webmenu.org if you want to get in touch or get featured.

Thank you for the feedback. I definitely want to focus more on independent web applications and smaller startups or bootstraps, although users are allowed to upload and add popular web apps they are fans of as well. I'm going to try my best to evolve the service based on the community and see where it goes. I may have to provide personal reviews for each application to help users get more information to draw from.

Hello all, As a bootstrapper myself, I've noticed getting exposure for new web services is hard. The major media outlets usually don't care and focus on gossip more than products. I've built a simple platform to help connect web applications with the users looking for them. I hope I can help you find new users and get reviews. Any feedback to improve the service is appreciated.
