I'm broke. but I'm a student and am pretty much use to it.
I decided to do a startup (sneffel.com) over the summer instead of finding an internship, I was hoping it'd be profitable by the end of the summer. I tried selling to basic users/consumers with no real customer in mind. I really thought it would work at the time. As you might expect, it didn't happen. Now it all appears obviously silly. In any case, I'm broke. my rent contract ends in a few days, and I need roughly 1000gbp for rent and deposit on a new place. A few friends have been buying me groceries and I've been trying to do freelance work (scriptlance, elance, odesk), but haven't had much luck there either!
I don't really know, but here's my guess: I didn't know who I was selling to. I tried selling directly to random users, which no one bought. But I realized recently I should be selling to schools and teachers, but have yet to put much effort into that. It could also be that I build something that no one wants. I really don't know.
