One-person software shop

Monday, November 22nd, 2004

Kevin Sites tells of his experiences in setting up a one-person software shop, or as he calls it: a micro-ISV.

Last month I offered six of these so-called “hypotheses” about how to make micro-ISV successful:

* Don’t start too big.
* Don’t quit your day job yet.
* Don’t fake the plural.
* Don’t forget the Law of Focus.
* Don’t spend much on advertising.
* Don’t hassle your users.

I’m following many of these in setting up Life Times Voice. Except for the “Don’t quit your day job” part, of course…
