This is what happens when your home office is also the laundry room.

You're never completely above water when building a business. Your best days are like a back float — that rare balance that keeps your nose just above the moving water.

Deep breaths. And keep going.

Note to self: #code and #nocode aren't mutually exclusive. You can mix both in the same project.

Let no code add its speed and clarity to build time. Then let code add that final level of specificity and tuning

Once you wake up to that first payment notification from selling an online product in your sleep, you can never go back.

So far this month I've launched my first two digital products — a WordPress plugin and a WP-powered SaaS.

The goal is to launch two more MVPs before April 1.

Let's go.

Niching down is hard as an indie maker because the amount of opportunity online is as limitless as the Marvel multiverse.

But you still have to choose. Out of all those possibilities, even Dr. Strange could find only one path to victory.

It's done. It's 9:15pm. There's $6.97 in the family checking account. But it's done. #buildinpublic #saas
This is the launch thread for my first SaaS, opening tomorrow.

Elevator pitch: One of the most common causes of website downtime is domain expiration. Domain registrars send alerts to the admin's email, but admins change.

And no one actually reads their email.

Tomorrow I'm soft launching my first SaaS.

There is $132 in the family checking account.

I love the future.

I'm struggling with some marketing copy for my WordPress services today and taking great comfort in the fact that the scientist who discovered antibiotics originally wanted to call them "mould juice."

I just uploaded my first digital product to Gumroad!

I'm taking a page from @dvassallo and making a series of small bets, with a new product released every week for the next two months.

This one is a WP plugin for reattaching image uploads in the media editor.

Chasing the shiny is so much easier than chiseling away at the substantial.

Without a strategy to ensure the latter, you'll fail.

This note brought to you by my lack of progress on my #saas so far this week.

#notetoself #buildinpublic #saas #dev
A lesson from my #saas project: I tinker with code more than I need to because I'm scared of writing sales copy.

The thing about code as a #solopreneur is no one sees it. It might be hot garbage, but if it works, no one cares.

*Everyone* sees the words.

You know you've reached your MVP when you hate your initial codebase so much you regret ever having had the idea in the first place.
