Hi
As everyone knows that i thrived many bitcoin projects and different ideas but nothing worked out for me. My last project was An exchange marketplace (INCUREX) where people can find and meet the different exchangers Bitcoin to PM etc.
This site last for only two weeks got few exchangers but no one gets online on that exchange and then people start fading away and at last time came and i had to shut down.
What possibly can be reason of its decline? I think people wasn't interested in it at all.
Aside what others have suggested, I will want to add that in making business a success, one thing is support and good PR which is very important after the hard labour bringing the idea to fruition, you continue to support it whether people believe in it or not, mention it wherever possible if you cant do it hire someone to help before you know things start changing but I must say its not going to be easy. Its your dream and no one will believe it better han you.
Another one is the formation of a team, instead of being the Alpha and OMEGA of the project, why not form a team of like minded individuals to provide support and even necessary publicity. This will reduce cost on your own part at the same time reduce the risk of failing but wont come cheap as you must be ready to part with some profit and I know there are still good people who will support a good project...
