6k-8k a month through small-time consulting. I've got one big customer, and two smaller ones. Good work, but it doesn't scale well.

- frommers 15y agoI'm in the same boat, it's a comfortable way of life but I always struggle with how to bring it to the next level.
- cheez 15y agoMake a product.
- frommers 15y agoWould like to eventually, just need to have an idea pop that I really believe in and that I see a future in.
- cheez 15y agoNo you don't.
- doyoulikeworms 15y agoWhat do you need?
- cheez 15y agoJust do something.
- jpk 15y agoThis thread may sound silly, but there's some truth here. Time you spend waiting for the idea is time you waste actually implementing an idea. PMF doesn't happen in your head, it happens when interacting with the market. Get something together, pitch it, refine it, repeat. You'll get there.
- donniefitz2 15y agoI would suggest starting the "idea" with data about paying customers. There's a lot of data out there. Find a market, figure out what they need/want and build a POC. Figure out if your market will pay for it and garner feedback. You might just find that your market will reveal the elusive "idea" for you.
- sixtofour 15y agoThis seems like one of the best "right answers" to the "doesn't scale" problem. You can sell a product over and over. If it's critical to someone's business or well being (according to some definition of well being) then you can sell it OVER and over.
- flyosity 15y agoI know it's recurring, but I thought the OP was asking about things that "sell themselves", that is, no effort on your part to make an extra unit of money. Could be wrong though.
