How do you know when to give up?
matt1: A little background, as I can relate: I built a poker calculator called ALL IN Expert, which I thought would be a big hit but wasn't. When it launched, it received very little coverage or attention and I quickly despaired and took the site down, though I did keep a copy on my blog where people could go and download it.A few months later I do a Google search to see if anyone had said anything about it and lo and behold, one of the notable poker training sites had done a full hour long video on how to use ALL IN Expert to improve your game. They had found out about the software, either because of my initial marketing or just randomly through Google, and wouldn't you know it: they found it useful. Now its downloaded a dozen or more times/day. Not much, but who knows what would have happened if I had kept promoting it.It can be hard to tell when to give up and when you should push just a little bit harder. When I stopped working on it, I started working on a new project, Domain Pigeon, which will likely prove to have been a good decision.My 2c: Leave your site up, make a few changes every now and then, keep promoting it even if only an email or forum post every few days, and re-evaluate in a few months. There's not really a good reason to take it down, even if you do choose to devote your time to something else.
