All I can do is share experience.

I worked on watch.ly for about five months. Cool product, no customers. Didn't do any significant marketing.

FastComments - couple months in had a handful of customers. I think almost six months in now. There were Sundays where I would wake up and just do marketing stuff all day, crash from the coffee, and then work the next day.

What you're trying to do is not easy. After you have something that even mildly works you should start spending most of your time trying to talk to potential customers.

As a famous salesman once said - "Major time is for major things".

Think and visualize your end goals here, then plot a path to them. You might realize you are way off.

Good luck!
