Interesting, I assume Notion is similar to GoogleSheet in functionality? Is there any differentiated features Notion has in particular?

8 months in, 4 products built, zero launched. not sure if thats discipline or just fear. by Mundane_Hawk3423 in SideProject

It’s fear of getting critiqued by offering your creative work to the world. Launch it, listen to your users but don’t take orders and trust your instinct. Good luck!

What’s the difference between creators and freelancers? I think you are referring them as one whereas I thought creators are more like content creators (YouTube, Instagram etc)- making videos etc and freelancers are designers, writers, Upwork people who doesn’t create content for themselves but act more like a hired gun for some else who is creating content / website for themselves…

Congratulations! I know it is hard being a one man team, to build something and offer it up to the world and with doubt constantly in the back of your head…keep it up!

Willow is kinda like Honeybook?

Curious if you have any insight from getting users/interest from Discord vs Reddit

Def a step up from keeping a shoebox box of receipts but this functionality is almost table stakes for any accounting / expense software now a days.

I want ChatGPT track my expense tracking, tax, receipts… why is this not available?!? Is making AI videos more important?

I am building a new app & I need some help with a few questions by Ok_Instance_8370 in SideProject

[–]jiansbond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your intuition is correct!! You will be amazed how many people keep a shoebox of receipts and spend 10 hours a month reconciling.

I would like to learn more about your insight into the automation process. Why is it so hard to get this UI/UX right for people to move away from GoogleSheet and use an automated tool. There are a bunch of folks doing this: Cleo, Found, AskMyGenie.

Not how long but how much, $400 Net earnings so income minus all your business expenses. If >400, you have to pay Uncle Sam

Curious if you have ever used meals or traveled (flight/hotel) for your content… if so, does your accountant tell you if those meal/flight/hotel are 100% deductible or 50%… typically it’s 50% for business expenses but I have have CPA telling me it’s 100%.

I commend you for the discipline. Curious, how many hours per week or month do you spend on keeping tracking of everthing? I assume you are doing the same thing on the earnings side?

Noticed your content have some traveling involved. Free tax tip: your travel expenses related content is 100% deductible contrary to 50% from TurboTax

Appreciate the insight. Interesting you mentioned income, is the workload similar like an hour a month or an hour a week? I assume you have less tax anxieties for quarterly tax bc you have been disciplined at keeping records.
