1. Too many to count. The trick is to ship fast and see what sticks. Focus on that, ignore the rest. Tweet Photo is my first legit exit, but some of my other side projects have turned into $xxx,xxx/year businesses. Just haven't sold them :)
2. Usually out of necessity. Something I want myself, but can't find an (appealing) existing solution for.
- stevage 6y agoI'd be interested in hearing about some of these other side projects (well, the financially successful ones anyway). Do you have a list somewhere?
- marckohlbrugge 6y agoMy Twitter bio has a list of many of my projects: https://twitter.com/marckohlbrugge https://twitter.com/marckohlbrugge Most notable: https://betalist.com https://betalist.com (2010): $xxx,xxx/year https://startup.jobs https://startup.jobs (2016): $xx,xxx/year (could hit $xxx,xxx this year) https://wip.chat https://wip.chat (2017): $xx,xxx/year
- summitsummit 6y agocongrats, that's awesome. are they all 100% owned by you or did you drink out of the poisoned foundation (vc)? also how do you toss up many sass so quickly? do you just have an auth and payment module you're comfortable that you reuse for every project?
- marckohlbrugge 6y agoThanks. All owned 100% by me. No outside funding or co-founders. I use Ruby on Rails which has a lot of pre-made libraries for common tasks. I’ve been building products for 10+ years though. So it’s mostly a matter of time I think
