Entrepreneurship to get out of debt
2 points by pr0active on Feb 11, 2013 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Hi HN,

I've been very silly and managed to rack up around £16,000 worth of debt.

I'm a reasonably well paid developer mainly working in Java web and enterprise stuff at an ecommerce consultancy.

I've always wanted to start a business online as a side to my job (the bingo card creator story amazes me!) in order to earn extra money so I can afford to give my girlfriend the big wedding she deserves.

Given the amount of debt I have found myself in (interest free though!) I've decided to go for it and try to create something online that generates income.

The question is, I'm seriously stuck for ideas but I'm very hard working and have what it takes to follow through and execute.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for me?

Thanks




Would it be possible to freelance with your ecommerce skills as an aside to your day job?
