Ok, what was your initial business?

Your current business sounds like "selling equipment to pan handlers coming to the gold rush." So is there real good to be found, outside of selling to the people looking for gold?

I might be being a bit dumb, but I'm not sure what you mean by any of this... :(

Does it help if I show some of my links of the things I've done?

With regard to what nugget offers? Is that what you mean? I hope that is answered here:

If not please post again with a little more clarification.

Thanks for answering :)

Yes, I didn't see those in the article. :)

Sorry if the gold rush analogy was cryptic. Another analogy: before the dot com bust, a lot of revenue came just from startups buying ads on each other's sites with VC money. When that dried up, turned out a lot of those start ups weren't actually viable.

So with your business catering to other SAAS businesses, made me wonder about the viability of single person SAAS businesses catering to other kinds of people.

Of course you are not dumb, just disingenous

while virtually all business can be summed up as "I am selling you a tool so that you can attempt to use it to make money/achieve happiness quickly", I think the author has done a good job of being forthcoming in his data and what value he could offer a potential customer
