  Thank you Usama

That's fun. Has that no-code website vibe. This was a side hustle until itself perhaps?

Submitted my project! A small bit of unsolicited feedback: you should make it more obvious what people get out of it before listing the price (at the end of the wizard). I'm not sure if I overlooked it, but I didn't see something like how many people will likely see it or if there's a newsletter with x subscribers and an opening rate of xx% which you see on similar sites.

  Excellent feedback. I will update it surely.

Why do we need another one?
- falak-sher 4y ago
  It doesn't hurt having another. It increases your chances of success. Like all listings will be sent in newsletter too. So everyone's sideproject get more brand awareness

I like how you choose to use your own domain ( subdomaining ) for this project. Do you have any story behind this choice? I think this is most underrated one but people realise the brand power from it. I'm digging it.

  Story is in development. I can't share more details right now

I'm sure you've thought about this, but I don't see it from the landing page: What does a person with a project get out of sharing? Or looking at it from the other side, what is the compelling reason this site will attract people looking for others' side projects? It seemed like the main CTA was to sign up for a newsletter about marketing ideas. What's the connection between side projects and marketing newsletter? As someone with a side project, genuinely interested :-).

  1. Backlink. (Right now it mayn't have so much DA but with time it will.) 2. Brand awareness + if he like to give an interview, he can do it too. We can start a podcast around it where we interview founders with small Sideprojects (not with $1M ARR) 3. Revenue numbers we are getting from Sideprojects. It will bring people to get product ideas. We are getting founder location. You may connect with other users from your country. 4. Will you sign up for getting another list of side-projects? absolutely no. But if I put 1 marketing hack in every newsletter, you will surely check it

    The listed projects except one of them all seem to have really high price tags. How often are these projects selling?

This is interesting, what's the visibility like on the platform? Do you have any numbers from the projects already listed there?
- falak-sher 4y ago
  Started last week. So no numbers to show off right now. This week is going great. 1k visitors so far.
