Now you can go and say that I’m not the best business person in the world, And I wouldn’t care, after all I am only 16. I’ve been around the business for 3 years, welcome to the new century! And it’s not like I own a web hosting website or anything…
Anyways.. I own Tyreus.com, I’m sure not many of you here at Geeks have heard of it but It’s becoming quite popular, now I’m not trying to advertise so I’ll skip the details of my server and everything. What I am getting annoyed with is people who I take in as a staff member to help other people on my website, and then decide that they have learned enough from me to start their own web host and go off and do it. I’ll tell you that I don’t spend a dime for anything I have. My reseller account is from a company at which I helped staff at for over a year and then I opened up this little business. And now people try to learn everything they can and go start their own, and after a hours of their “resignation email” they show up on my forum and (1) Post a link to their very crappily designed website in hopes to get a few users. (2) Steal my users (3) It’s a sub-domain, 0lx.net, or whatever company that is. And then after a week or up to a month or even longer they’ll come back to my forum, or email and ask me if they can have their job back. “NO!” Is exactly what I tell them. I told them before that it wouldn’t be easy. Some of these guys do have money and spend hundreds of dollars on a server. What are you thinking!? Start out strictly free and move up towards paid, NEVER get your own server until after at least a year of being around. Tyreus.com has been around about 9 months, and I don’t plan on getting it it’s own server for another year and a half, if it lasts that long. Which it will, because I’m so awesome.
You can think what you want, about however many oxymorons or contradictions I just made to myself. I said what I said.
