It's great that you present lessons learned here. Marketing is fascinating, my husband and I worked together doing Internet Marketing and I learned a lot from him. In fact, I discovered I wished I had gone into marketing instead of Management Info Systems in college. :) And who hasn't had visions of sugar plums and fairies when they put produce something? It's not bad to dream. Sometimes our dreams don't turn out like they want, but I wouldn't discount your efforts. It is quality work (I agree with point #4). When I do something that doesn't turn out like I would like, I think of Mark Warner and his success at Alltel and how he completely and miserably failed several times before making it. The lesson about MetaCafe is interesting. Sometimes making a few cents isn't as great as creating a buzz and getting $$ in a more round about way. Again, thanks for your perspective.
