A day after recording this episode Apple approved this podcast! So give it a listen, a review, let me know what you think!
In this episode, I share my journey from building side projects to learning how to effectively market them. With over 20 years of experience as a developer, I’ve embarked on numerous projects, from personal tools to potential products for others. I delve into my experiences with various side projects, such as an RSS reader named Ferret Feed, a home display system inspired by Wall-E, and a social media metrics tool called Reslytics, later rebranded as Watch Your Numbers. Each project taught me valuable lessons about the importance of marketing and engaging with potential users.
I discuss the challenges of marketing, including my struggles with social media presence and completing the final stages of a project. I also talk about my current projects, like Observalyze, an analytics platform with gamification elements, and my goals of building a more active social media presence and launching video content by September. This podcast serves as a tool for accountability and sharing my ongoing journey with listeners, hoping to learn and grow together.
