A great idea goes viral right?

Wrong. We’ve seen too many great ideas going directly to the dead pool because all that the creators had in mind was this fixed idea of going
viral.

Let’s say this clearly: you may have a better chance of winning the lottery than you would have of your brand new web site or web application being catapulted into the stratosphere through the viral process.

Have we destroyed some dreams here? Not at all. Promoting on the web is definitely the best way to go, but you need to build a solid promotional
strategy and, most of all, you have to expect to work hard at it regularly.

Don’t believe in miracles. Believe in your potential and in the power of intelligent minds helping you to promote your web business on a regular basis.

And Darwin was right…

A week ago it was Charles Darwin’s birthday. Two hundred years ago he exposed his statement - all species of life have evolved over time - and I kept this in mind the whole week.

I could not avoid comparing “natural selection” with the current situation we are living. We are in a crisis. Not only in an ordinary financial one. We are in a crisis of values.  In a way we’re forced to polarize to our strengths when times get difficult and the crisis provides a  “golden” opportunity to rethink a “couple” of things.

First of all there is no more turning back. Desktop software’s have their days counted. They are not dying, they are just evolving. No matter if you call it web 2.0, web 3.0 or whatever, each day new web applications show their powerful innovation mood and amaze everyone with their features that were unthinkable just some months ago.

But we can also think in another kind of  “evolution”. I’m talking about sustainability. The “green” one but also the human side of it. I’m talking about building web businesses that use technology to promote socially responsible development. Sustainability and great commercial profits can and have to go side by side. That’s what we call Humanizing Technology.

It’s a fact that things changed and new entrepreneurs will have to be more effective, more selective and even more “human” and I honestly believe that the “new Entrepreneur 2.0 will win the “natural selection”.

You still can go at 150 MPH but not in the wrong lane. Evolution is not just a fashionable word, what does it really means to you?

What does it take to be a web entrepreneur?

Perhaps you are thinking about dedicating to a brand new web startup. Perhaps you have time and the capital. But do you fully understand what is required to  start a new venture on the web?

On a regular basis we at C2C Balloon hear of new Web 2.0 startups building cool applications.  Some are completely useless, and others seem like promising and advanced web applications.

There’s never been a better time to be a web entrepreneur because it’s never been cheaper to be one.  In today’s economy hardware costs are far too cheap, social networking sites for promotion are becoming more and more popular and even a crisis – one that could potentially cool the marketplace down – may actually open the door to a great opportunity for those willing to take constructive action instead of panicking.

Building and running a successful business on the Web can be a fruitful, exciting, but time consuming task.  The spirit behind starting a web business is one of truly committing yourself to an idea. It takes enormous commitment, patience and determination.

Are you passionate about creating your own web-based startup? Are you driven? No seriously. Real startup entrepreneurs don’t simply love their ideas, but are “married” to them. If you answered, “yes,” then you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur. And C2C Balloon is here to help.

Contact us now and let’s talk about your project.

You think it. We make it happen.
