Every market has a “main product,” as well as things that are ancillary to that main thing. Unless the main market is huge, it’s hard to make a business from the ancillary market.

No, I think you’re misunderstanding me. Every category has a “main thing,” as well as tangential “add-ons.” The challenge with add-ons: not everyone wants them. For example: “commenting platform for podcasts.” But, every podcast needs hosting (the main thing).

Yes. And what 'everyone needs' is constantly changing. 1980's: everyone needs trucking. 1990's: everyone needs route optimization: 2000's: everyone needs tracking. 2010's: everyone needs electronic logging devices. The problem is when you're wrong about it.

“Main things” seem to stay longer. Since the advent of the web, folks have needed web hosting (Carrd, Bluehost, Squarespace, Geocities) and that continues to be true (“the main thing”). For a while, you had to have a LinkExchange banner, guestbook, and hit counter (ancillary).

In your example, “trucking” is the main thing, and has remained the main thing for decades. It’s the ancillary products/services in the category that come and go.

I think Justin is simply trying to say that you shouldn't try to build a business on "a feature" (which I agree with). But you're exactly right. The main thing was search, until it became the little ads that go next to search results.

Listen guys, I’m not trying to write scripture here. I’m just an idiot on the internet processing ideas out loud.
@mattwensing’s got most of it though.
I got into this in more detail in my chat with @nbashaw. I’ll post that segment tomorrow if I can find it.1 odpowiedź 0 podanych dalej 4 polubione
