A decent site is not made overnight

Maybe an unpopular site. I literally made this blog overnight. No, not last night, but over the night when I made it… oh, you get the picture.

If you’re hoping to build The Next Big Thing, I reckon you’re going to fail. Now, if you have some idea of what you want to build, and where you’d like to be in the next 6-12 months, then that’s a good start. If you’re only looking for quick and overnight success – well, good luck with that.

You do have to be careful, though. If you build a site that becomes really popular, it might be knocked offline overnight. A bit of a setback, really. Best not to try launching something big just before you go to bed.

And if you really think you can make a million dollars / pounds overnight – well, you’re probably wrong. Or very right, in which case – I don’t believe we’ve met…
