1. Google isn‘t Alexa/Alexa isn‘t Google. Consider the possible differences and rules your chosen platforms may propose, and how this will affect your service.
2. Be ready for surprises and expect the unexpected. Sometimes this is hard to plan for but be ready just in case something doesn't go exactly as planned.
3. Test – adapt – test – adapt – test – adapt - test. Testing is one of the most important phases of any project. It may work in principle but there may be issues in practice. It's so important to keep testing.
4. Marketing is the key. You have to make sure your audience knows about your project/service. It is also important to provide a budget otherwise it is not going to perform.
