>>>Online learning has exploded in popularity over the last decade. In Covid, the field has found a tremendous force multiplier.
>>>I started blogging on Technology Entrepreneurship in April 2005. The Internet was different then. There was no Smartphone. Social Media was just starting. Facebook and LinkedIn were new concepts.
Today, in 2021, building and monetizing a Technology Entrepreneurship Blog requires a very different strategy than the one I started with.
In this multi-part series, I will lay out a fully fleshed out roadmap of how to do so with contemporary tools.

>>>If you want to raise funding, you would need to quit your job and go full-time, because investors generally don’t fund companies that are led by part-time founders.
But it often takes several years of bootstrapping before you’re ready to go to investors.
At 1Mby1M, we support Bootstrapping with a Paycheck. You can find some case studies within my Bootstrapping Course: Bootstrap Using a Paycheck. This video lecture will provide you with important perspective.
It is invaluable to have a job that pays the bills while you’re validating your ideas, getting your strategy together, etc.
