OPTION 3) Recognize that you’re "in it" more for the passion<br />

than the money. Botticelli rules!<br />

OPTIONS 2 and 3 are pretty clear. Let’s examine OPTION 1<br />

a bit...<br />

Use the BREAKOUT window to expand your Site Concept, or even<br />

to find a new, better direction. Or the "expansion route"<br />

may seem perfectly obvious to you, even without doing the<br />

BREAKOUT brainstorming.<br />

For example, remember this progressively wider concept?...<br />

Do you stop at Botticelli?...<br />

Or do you grow your idea to include all Renaissance artists?...<br />

Or do you grow your idea to include all artists?...<br />

http://www.artchive.com/artchive/ftp.html<br />

Or do you grow it into a comprehensive art portal?...<br />

http://artchive.com/<br />

Which level should be your starting Site Concept?<br />

Keep doing DAYS 2 and 3 on progressively broader concepts<br />

until you find enough pr<strong>of</strong>it potential to proceed. How<br />

broad should you go? Remember the single best<br />

recommendation...<br />

"As narrow as possible, yet...<br />

... still with lots <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>it potential!"<br />

In other words, work your way up from Botticelli, to<br />

Renaissance art, to all artists, to "everything art." Stop<br />

as soon as you find a level that has solid pr<strong>of</strong>it potential.<br />

Keep your niche as narrow as possible, so that you can build<br />

a site "to fill that glass," yet still make good pr<strong>of</strong>its.<br />

Nowadays, I would not start artchive.com as a global art<br />

mini-portal. First <strong>of</strong> all, I’d go nuts trying to fill this<br />

wonderful site with so much info. And it would look rather<br />

amateurish with just a little content.<br />
