I had an opportunity to build a modern web based behavior assessment system. It went well with the first client but, I couldn't market it to other clients. With savings in bank account dwindling, I quit on marketing the product and started working on contract gigs to keep a positive cash flow. I was not able to figure out what is wrong with the product and why prospective clients even after a trial period didn't convert to paid subscriptions. I guess the product is dead. Now, I can't seem to get another product idea going. What should I do ? Should I keep doing these contract gigs and try out new ideas, or should I find a job with Top tier companies. Btw, I am pretty good with computers and building softwares that run on them and on browsers.
Take a deep breath and step back from it for a bit. Absolutely keep doing your contract gigs - you need money right? After a while, take another look at what you have built, and see if there are parts of it that can be salvages or re-engineered to some other purpose. If not, chalk it up to learning and move on. Don't try to force ideas - they will either happen or they won't.
