Blogging

Many people make their entire living off of blog revenue such as Darren Rowse of ProBlogger.net. Although, I must admit, it is extremely difficult to make a significant amount off of blogs.

Congrats again, Rohail!

It looks spectacular. I’m really impressed, Rohail. It looks like Walamu is picking up steam with more books added daily.

Building a website from scratch — especially without millions of dollars at your disposal — is never an overnight thing. It’s awesome to see you’re continously working hard at it, Rohail.

My best advice for you is to seek “small wins” frequently, and consistently. Soon enough, you’ll see some pretty cool results. But of course, you’re in control, and you know much better than all of us on how to build a kick-ass college textbook marketplace.

Keep it up, man!

Thanks Andrew! It’s certainly been interesting since launch. I’ll have a post on that later, but it’s definitely all about small wins. That’s the goal right now. First small win- getting in the campus newspaper. Hoping that happens soon. Appeciate the encouraging words :) .
