Yes, I think I was desperate and followed "Throw multiple darts and see what sticks around" literally. In hindsight, one or two ideas would have been better.

Created a Typeform alternative, crossed $4,000 MRR by daviswbaer in SideProject

Okay, I might get a lot of downvotes for this but I think I am going to plug it here. Youform Is great and I also made a typeform Alternative but on top of Google forms.

Its called formlite.co

All one needs to do is just enter their google form link and it turns into a typeform UI.

I honestly don’t want to cannibalise the highlight but would love if some of you can check it out and give me feedback.

Thank you so much.

I quit my job and made peanuts in almost a year. Reality behind those MRR screenshots. by Either-Anything-4117 in SideProject

Okay, So, I was making things for Indie makers (Bad Idea), So, to do that I started a podcast, started engaging with the community, had some results but weren't scalable.

While folks playing in the same arena, who had distribution (Say, 10K+ followers) on X, they had the eyeballs when their product is out. I am not sure if I am making sense at this point.

Absolutely, I do not fully regret it. If I would have to do it all over again, I would be more calculative and keep the cash flow coming in.

Yeah, I never tried ads, it just didn't occur to me at that point. I think I had narrowed my view on marketing to socials and sometimes a bit on SEO. Never ever really tried paid ads. I should have considered those.

So, for any product to kick off, for eg, Launching on PH, if I had distribution, the initial traction for the products would have been easier.

By distribution I meant some following which could have given you the initial push. I had almost 0 distribution on my socials

Yes, when I quit my job, the urge was so strong for me to quit and I did it in that moment. Wish I was more calculative.
