In your mid 20s, made $1M.. Think you probably can take time out to write a book. And figure out what you want to do next. i.e. Build something interesting? Or invest in a startup?

Here's an idea.

There is Follow Friday on Twitter. You can do a Sponsors Friday, where you can send over offers related to your blog, topic, and its readers.

You need to track the CTR, etc. Put a decent infographics. If your CTR is good, and your topic is niche, approach folks into affiliate marketing or affiliate managers, they will be able to tell you what offers to run.

I am a fan too! Considering the first blog post was back in Feb 2010, it has come a long way in this one year period. Good market, not too crowded! Nice app! Way to go!

Some ideas to get the ball rolling.

- Build connectors to hock up existing time tracking apps to open source ERP system like Openbravo ERP, Compiere.

- Build move-to-competitors connectors to help companies/enterprises to move from Product A to Product B or a open source project.

typo: i meant please dun make another todo list too.

note to self: clear up the desk now!

You could post on the monthly "Who's hiring" thread on HN. Lots of programmers look at it for interesting gigs.

I would say you pick the programming language to get an idea what is possible in your web application and what is not. Meanwhile, never stop recruiting, it is not easy to find good developer.

I think you need a designer too. Most developer an't good at design work. Then you have a decent team structure.

If you are interested in Android development, probably you should do some hand-ons. It is just not possible for anyone to put everything you come across in their development into print/words.

The Android Developers website's Dev Guide is fairly comprehensive, you can almost get started in your app right away.

I am not much of a designer myself too.

What I did was to get a WordPress theme from ThemeForest (http://themeforest.net) for my project's main web page, I just added pages for login, register and pricing.

After login, my users will be redirected to my app's UI. Downside is that I have to update WordPress ever once awhile.

Er... most permanent recruitment agencies charge between 15%-25% of the first years annual salary of the successful applicant.

Unless you are helping a friend, why do it?

Load Testing: JMeter, Grinder.

Functional Testing: Selenium, Watir, Sahi.

People use to say that about Twitter.. How much can we say in 144 characters... :P

There are definitely grants & loans for startups to get started, but I often hiring is a major issue, shortage of quality programmers.

I agree too.. after 2 clicks if I still dun get it, I leave. Suggest you put in your form after the 2rd click.

Nice!

Done!

Er.. who are the top affiliates?

Er... why is HTC not in the list?

Qtn: Is your live help available 24/7, there's always someone manning the live chat?

What is the purposes of your live help? To get feedback or answer questions? To get feedback, a simple contact form will suffice. User expectation of live help is Instant Resolution, if you can't provide that level of service, there is really not point having it. Sites like tender, satisfaction will meet your needs.

Consider the cost factor of using live help for the long run too.

"I am happy with my current job." - can't go wrong there!

Getting a visa is still poses a big problem?

Er... why is it that developers for Android apps are making less? I would think that having a larger market share, chances is that we will make more from our Android apps.

Er... there is http://www.google.com/profiles/iworkforthem#buzz and there is also https://profiles.google.com/iworkforthem/about

So there are 2 profile pages now?

I agree! Tick(http://www.tickspot.com/) work just as well for me.

Thank you. 0.upto(string.length - password_length) do |index| that's the line of logic I didn't it get correct.

Anyone managed to pass level 1? I am stuck at level 1. Please share the logic.

Last time, I check real estate is about location, location, location. Every place has its own demographics and its own legislations. I dun know any books/sites can teach you all that.

I am familiar with how the real estate operating in Singapore, but across Malaysia & Indonesia, it's a very different case. The same is with you. You have to be there to know how people does business there.

Across the board, one thing I find some similar is that money move when investing in property quite a lot. Investors tends to seek out undervalued properties, buy in.... rent it out.... hold for a few years and sell.

Example... A few years ago, properties are hot in China, Hong Kong, etc.. Government come in... and it is no more.. Now it's going back Europe and USA again.

Take time to understand the location, why does the property make sense. Who does it make sense to? Financially how will it make sense for you in the next 3-5 years timeframe.
