While I agree with some of the tactics here (make a twist on similar ideas, contact businesses, buy a business, brush up an existing product you built) I'm going to suggest an alternative method that has worked for me. Start with the m

I'd be happy to brainstorm some marketing ideas to help with monetization. It sounds like a great product that just needs some clearer messaging.

I love sleeping on my side but you're right, it causes back, neck, shoulder, chest issues from being curled up all night. The best thing I found was to invest in a great firm mattress. Then every couple of nights I'll remove my pi

What kinds of things do you enjoy building? The best side projects play to your advantages. Definitely try to sell some existing side projects on SideProjectors or Borderline.biz - even a small purchase feels like a success. If you're

If you sit quietly and think for a few minutes, where is the pressure coming from? Is it the constant demands from colleagues? Is it the responsibility? Is it coming from yourself? Figuring out what sits uneasy with you will give you a star

There are SO many things you can do before you need any technical skills * Research the problem you are trying to solve, read and analyse ridiculous numbers of forum threads on what people are complaining about, save their words, phrases an

Building a niche product sounds mostly enjoyable and seems like a happier, less stressful lifestyle. What's the person doing the startup working towards? A happier life? Why not just go directly to that?

Before you build anything, see if you can pull a Slack community together. All you need is a landing page to test this out. If you can't find 20 people to start with, then building additional tech isn't going make up for that.

You should mention it. Suggest alternate color schemes - at least at work. There are probably other color blind people that struggle and say nothing. For boardgames and to generally help you in day to day life - perhaps consider a pair of t

When you are burned out - it's not possible to properly give yourself to even the most interesting opportunities. Trying to find something new is still ignoring the actual problem. You need to relax for a while (not the same as doing n

Currently it doesn't make sense to use it for transactions with it changing wildly from one hour to the next which is a shame. I will be glad when it settles down. However I have in the past used it for online transactions and used it

I bought BTC to use as currency for transactions not as an investment. It should be used for that purpose. MLM only has one purpose - to recruit others into it. I don't ask other people to buy BTC so I can make a profit. MLM usually ha

It sounds like you're targeting new freelancers. Yet it is existing freelancers that understand the pain you are trying to solve. It looks like you have 5-6 average tools in one package, not one killer tool that would make it worth swi

If it was me, I would call and get straight on to their finance / billing team. Just chase it until they realise that paying is the easier option. Not in an angry way, more just stay on the phone until it's sorted, 'let'

You can't say you will find the best job for someone and then magic up a contract with every company they want to apply to. Why would a company pay for a candidate with an agency fee attached when they probably have other similarly qua

They do exist however, there are difficulties in this business model in that the candidate rarely wants to pay.

I would recommend not to compete on price. By all means position yourself as more affordable but if you go specifically after cheap customers there is no loyalty there. They will always switch to whoever is cheapest and are a nightmare to s

It doesn't matter. Right now your entire potential customer base doesn't know that either of you exist. Just start talking to actual people and get your product out there. Finding customers and making them happy is the only thing

I would say checking anything 15 times a day isn't a positive habit. HN is certainly not destructive but being here 15x a day isn't any more useful than just visiting 1-2x.

No, you have a habit that you don't like but it isn't an addiction. You have developed a default response, any time your brain is bored the new default is "time to check HN". Try and swap that for a new default, somethin

The best thing you could do would be to take Weds or Thurs afternoons off. See if your employer will let you re-arrange or reduce your hours. Funnel leads to book demos on those afternoons you are free then follow up in your lunch breaks wh
