Being on the hook

Welcome!

​

If you're reading this, that means you gave me your email on my blog. My purpose for collecting emails was to simply send out a message each time I posted.

In addition to notification emails, I'm starting a series about my attempt to bootstrap project(s) to supplement my full-time income.

I'm going to be transparent with the ups, downs, and document everything I'm learning along the way. Sometimes the content will be technical, other times it will be about trying to find product-market fit and figuring out pricing.

Why write a weekly newsletter? Put simply, accountability.

It's easy to create side project after side project, tell no one about it, and shut it down six weeks later. Instead, I'm choosing to put myself "on the hook".

What is being "on the hook"? Seth Godin has talked a lot about it, starting back in 2013.

The only way for me to repay you for your time is to share valuable insights. Valuable insights come from doing the work.

This newsletter is a forcing function, not only for becoming a better writer and thinker, but also a better builder, marketer, and seller.

What to expect

​

I'll be writing at least once a week about what I'm working on and learning. Next week I'll be sending out an introduction to my current project, plzdm.me.

I will cover:

• an overview of the problem I'm solving
• how I'm making technical decisions
• thoughts on pricing

P.s. — please yell at me if you see me falling into any of these traps.
