Hi Kristie!

As you said, if you dont have a similar model to base your data off your forecasts are going to be scewed. Even if you did have the correct data at some point your still gonna have to throw it up and "see" how well it does anyway.

Your best bet is to embrace that fact and use all your energy developing the best product you can. When your ready to launch spend a little money on google adwords and see how well the site grows organically from that. Use THAT data to see how bright the future is and base your quit dont quit decision on that.

If it does well put your best ninja outfit on and kick your boss in the shoulder blade! If it doesnt.... How can it not?!!!? Your smart and ambitious! (I been lurking for ~5 years - I remember when you used to post "Come on X viewing and only 2 are members Sign up!")

Good luck - I wish you the best!!!
