+<h1>Business Plan</h1>
+
+<p>The initial goal is user-driven development.</p>
+
+<p>Almost all development will be user-driven.  We will not implement features because we think someone will want it.  We will implement features because users ask for them.</p>
+
+<p>This requires users which requires marketing.  We will not spend money on marketing, we will only use free social media to promote this.  In particular, I think Discord would be effective.</p>
+
+<p>We need a way to communicate with users, and I suggest a Discord server.  The goal would be to develop a user community to give us feedback.</p>
+
+<p>We do not need a polished product to launch.  After all, we are free and all our competitors charge.  We can say that we are in "alpha" and that we want people to try us.</p>
+
+<p>Here is what we need to launch:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>You must learn how to make courses</li>
+<li>A domain name</li>
+<li>A decent homepage</li>
+<li>A Discord server</li>
+<li>Remove all links to me</li>
+</ul>
