My website (Audia) is up.

My website is now officially up and running. To summarize what my website does, Audia is a website for musicians where they can upload their promotion materials and submit to promoters and concert organizers. Musicians can use a template to create promotion kits and make galleries and audio playlists. The website is in Japanese, but please take a look anyway.

It took me more time than expected to complete the website, but for a non-techy like me, it has been a great learning experience putting up a website together and understanding the underlying technology. Of course I could've outsourced it, but for me to become a web-entrepreneur, I think the learning process was both necessary and worth the effort.

Now the real challenge will be marketing the website and generating revenue. Notwithstanding my previous statement, anybody can put up a website if you spend enough time on it. But whether your service can find customers in the market and become a profitable business is another story. I hope MBA education I received at Babson will assist me along the way (otherwise why the heck should I spend so much money on tuition?).
