👋 Full-time founder but still making time for side hustles 🤣 Oh yeah, that's me! Thanks Indie Hackers for taking the time to interview me. Link below 👇

Would love to see the side projects everyone is working on today. No weekend grinding for the day job, what are the fun or serious side projects you’re building outside of the normal 9-5 job… @_nightsweekends #sideprojectsaturday

💯 Hit my subscriber goal for the Sideproject MVP newsletter @_buildspace @_nightsweekends yesterday! 🎉 Thanks everyone who subscribed and reads the newsletter! Excited to continue to grow the list, and publish lots more content. Some observations from getting started 👇 🚀 If you're posting on Twitter to share and get subscribers, you need to post A LOT of times. Reach used to be about around 20%, but recently seems even worse (if your post doesn't go give), seems closer to 10%. Announce the launch of your newsletter often, chances are most people won't have seen any of your previous announcements. ✍️ Although I'm not publishing everyday anymore, I'm still writing every day, and publishing my best content. This helps to build and maintain a habit of publishing. This also gives you a catalog of content you can quickly get posted if something comes up and can't write anything new. Streaks are important (like really important), recovering from a broken streak feels harder than getting started in the first place. 😥 Small subscriber numbers can be a bit demoralizing, but you shouldn't be writing for a big audience. Each piece of content should be written for some one specific, ideally someone you know, even yourself. I've often used conversations I've had with people personally for ideas of things to write about. You can even use those conversation for the outline of the content. 🛠️ Tools don't matter! Recently it doesn't even feel very hard to switch between tools if you need too. I'm using both ConvertKit and Beehiiv on projects, and they are very similar in terms of features & functionality. You should be spending most of your time writing at the beginning, and I'm doing most of that that outside of the tools. I've seen people spend weeks picking which platform to use, time that could have been used to write content.

Saturday is newsletter day (and football again!) Writing both the @OnceTools and @SideprojectMVP newsletter while watching the Euros. Great game between Italy and Albania right now!

🥳 Reached 100 @oncetools listed on the website last week. Could have got here sooner, but trying to be very selective with what I'm adding and keeping an eye on the market. Why no celebration? I see a few people removing the once payment options so I'll have be deleting some listings soon 🤣 I thought about keeping the listing, but flagging that the once payment option is no longer available, but that seemed like it would confuse things.

Voicenotes: AI note-taker that's truly intelligent You can pay ONCE for a limited time, was included in the latest @OnceTools newsletter, launching on ProductHunt today... producthunt.com/posts/voicen… by @jijosunny

Have a lot of submissions to @oncetools that aren’t once (normal monthly/annual subscription), but have a free tier, so you can in theory use them forever. I haven’t been publishing these, as I don’t think it follows the once manifesto wondering what others think?

👋 Lots of @oncetools visitors from Poland today!

Nice another @oncetools on @producthunt today! Iconbuddy 2.0: 200K+ open source free SVG icons producthunt.com/posts/iconbu… by @mddanishyusuf
