7 Steps to E-Business Launch(Part 4)

4. Secure Funding
The next countdown stage in the launch is to secure funding for your project. Sometimes this can forestall going any farther. I've been concerned with the spate of "scary start-ups" that I wrote about recently (http://www.wilsonweb.com/wct3/scary-start-ups.htm). These 60-day wonders too often gobble up millions in venture capital dollars to fund half-baked business plans and propel them into national businesses. There are times when a quick entry into the marketplace is an essential part of a marketing plan. But sometimes a more gradual approach is called for, and allows you to retain control of your business AND its profits.

In the case of JesusWalk.com, costs are rather modest, since I am able to add on to existing web services, and have the ability to do much of the development in-house. Funding is by means of donations to Joyful Heart Ministries. This is essentially (though not in legal structure) a non-profit venture -- just so long as it's not a non-prophet one. :-)
