who am I?
I am Jakub. I am a backend developer.
why I created this blog?
I want to finally ‘stop starting and start finishing’ my business ideas. I’ve had several attempts to build my own business, but it always ended without releasing the final product to the end users.
I’m talking here about the online products, I also had a short journey with making sites on WordPress for money but it’s hard to call it a business as I had 3 clients (and only 1 of them paid me any money…).
A few weeks ago I stumbled upon indiehackers.com and thought maybe in my case describing my activities in public would help me stay disciplined.
why failsome and why ‘three failed business ideas’?
Recently I read somewhere that in most cases only the 4th business idea turns out to be a success. Therefore, I plan to develop & promote my 3 ideas (online products) for the next year.
So it turns out that I have 4 months for each of them, but I think it will be the longest to develop the first idea because I will have to learn a lot about hosting applications in the cloud (and I’m also not an expert in any front-end technology and my additional goal is to become better at it).
I set my mind from the start that they will fail. Failure means that there will be very few users and I will not make any money.
I’m going to describe all the problems I will face during my journey.
