I got the impression that he was touting consulting as a way to implement your product.
If you are a designer and your product is framework for web page design, then using your software in your consulting job is a natural way to give your product some exposure while making money from your design work (not the greatest example ever, but you get the drift).
Intrinsically, your consulting work should be your sales pitch for your product. Or at least that's how it works in my imagination.
- ahoyhere 16y agoI didn't get that sense from the article - but it wouldn't work for everyone, anyway. My consulting work was mostly designing intranets for megacorps (including Bear Stearns), or Twitter/social media visualiAtion/sensemaking art pieces for their marketing depts. I could turn the latter into a product, but that'd be defeating the point. Now my work is focused on making small biz software that does a fabulous job and makes people happy.
