The Strategy Of Startups

Welcome to version II of JDsBlog.com.

Yesterday, I talked about stepping out of the woods in regards to the web industry.  There is a time when a person becomes so inundated with their profession that they lose site of pretty much any focus that they once had.

I preach over and over that a site needs to add value in order to be successful online.  But I think I may have been forgetting that myself.  When I look at JDsBlog, I ask myself, would I visit?  Is their truly resourceful content that I couldn’t find anywhere else?  Does he put a spin on things that would make me read everyday?

And the answer is, “sometimes.”

I love writing articles about startups.  Not in a ‘TechCrunch launch’ way, but in examining just what it is that makes a startup successful.  Critiquing what someone is doing right.  Explaining how it can be done better.  Explaining how to start a business.  Things of that nature.  And those are the articles that I would frequent if I was just a user.

Frankly, I find simply repeating news quite boring.  There are a lot of places online that do it better with more consistency, so why bother?

So, with the rant aside, I welcome you to the rebranded JDsBlog.  “The Strategy of Startups.”

The Strategy of Startups is really quite simple.  It is a place for entrepreneurs, freelancers, professionals, businessmen and women to gather and learn/participate on the strategy of starting a business.  This is going to include profiling startups in a way that we may all benefit.  Establishing market needs.  Looking at their marketing.  Finding ways to come up with ideas.  Things of that nature.

When I look back on my almost one year history of JDsBlog, it is amazing to see the progression.  And I thank you for coming along with me.  We went from Firefox and open source, to startup news and business, to the strategy behind it all.  I am truly looking forward to this jaunt though, because I think it is the ultimate in seeing exactly what it takes to start a company.

Oh, and two more things.  Adsense is gone.  It was an eyesore.  And all commenters will have a link back in the next day’s post.  Without fail.  So if you like links, get familiar with the comment button :0)

Thank you to Kyle and Cristina for yesterdays comments!
