Let’s talk side projects! I have been doing side projects for over a decade. When I started nocode platforms weren’t a thing. There was WordPress but it was still pretty complex. Fast forward 10 years and I built a full fledged marketplace with payment, messaging and search functionality, with no tech skills and all run on the side. A the best thing about it, everyone can do it.
Building side projects have had major impact on my business skills. Especially newsletters have been a great of improving my talent stack. A newsletter gives you exposure to so many things that are involved with a (digital) business: user growth, product, partnerships, revenue, marketing, research, analytics. My most successful side project is based around the topic of newsletters. Last year I founded a marketplace (
Duuce) where people can buy and sell a newsletter. As crazy as that idea might sound, it’s pretty vibrant.
Do you run a side project? Curious to hear about it. Reply with the link and I’ll check it out and maybe even share it in the newsletter.
