The idea of having a software as a service product sound great, doesn't it?

Solve a problem with software. Have a nice looking landing page and website. Get paying customers.

Eventually have it make enough revenue so you can turn it into your primary source of income.

There's a lot of software talent out there. We could solve lots of problems.
But going from idea to product to first customer is non-trivial.
Especially as a side hustle.
This episode discusses some of the hurdles from idea to first customer.

Brandon Braner is building Released.sh. It's a cool idea, but it's not done yet.

Brandon and I talk about building side projects:

finding a target audience
limiting scope to something doable by one person
building a great looking landing page
finding time to work on things
prioritizing and planning
learning while building
even utilizing third party services to allow you to launch faster
and last, but not least, having fun
