- make lists and use them!
- block lunches use them for meetings
- have day job pay your healthcare
- day job work stops on time! no meetings before 9 or after 5
- leverage your “No” to all frivolous time wasters
- focus on day job, side project, family, one hobby for exercise (4-6 hrs/ week)
- get really good at delegating and automating tasks
- hire overseas contractors to do menial, repetitive tasks that can’t be automated
- don’t sell software instead find something “real” that can be enhanced with software
- identify a customer and charge upfront; it’s the only way you’ll learn
Basically, it's a quick and easy way to get SSR up and running for sites that use modern frontend frameworks for their whole site. It seems that every team I work with needs to jump through the same crazy set of hoops and stand up servers just so they can serve pre-rendered pages to search engines.
Our thing solves the problem by sitting in front of your site (using Cloudflare Workers), passing regular traffic through, and showing crawlers a cached, pre-rendered version.
Best (for me), it's designed to fail open, meaning customers are unaffected if my stuff falls over. Thus, letting me have things like weekends and sleep.
You mean since last week?
In this amount I provide 4000 words of content, 6 good quality graphics and few quality backlinks. Anything on top of this is a paid add-on.
I have hired a team of SEO Specialists, Content Writers and Graphic Designers. Most of my revenue goes in paying their salaries.
I found few takers(all dentists) of my service from Australia.
The best thing is that I have not even built any website or any FB, Instagram Page and still I am making this money through my old contacts.
I guess with my website launching in next few days, I should be able to sell even more and reach to around 100 customers in next year or two.
I am currently trying to build a standalone website (https://goog.io) and moving the service away from RapidAPI.
Best advice I would give:
Implement features for paying or potential paying customers first. They already love the service and this will boost word of mouth reputation in a SaaS segment.
So far I've been selling by word-of-mouth, and in September I started an Etsy store. I'm also building https://egnastickers.se, but that landing page alone made me €100 in sales.
I'm close to €1k in sales for October on Etsy and I'm racing to sell as much as possible before the end of the year when Brexit wipes out more than half my current customer base.

We build and work with software that cuts the editing time by 70% which allows us to offer our sevices at (somewhat) cheap rates while keeping the quality super high.
Started with a team of freelancers, now we have both freelancers and people working full-time.
Edit: I lead product for SF based startup as my full-time job.
Not yet at $500 MRR but I’m focusing on providing a lot of value in a simple package, and automating as much as possible to reduce daily operations and move fast.
The stack mainly consists of Python, React, Postgres, Clickhouse, and Redis running on Kubernetes (deployment configured via Terraform and Kustomize). Was running on DO + Linode and just moved to AWS.
Happy to answer any questions!

It allows you to enter an URL and deploy a static clone to Vercel in seconds. You can also configure it so that it updates your static side as soon as you change something on the dynamic one.
