Hi Makers, I've become really interested recently in what makes someone leave a job to pursue a career as a maker. I used to be an Archaeologist (its an unusual change I know). I want to know your stories. What jobs did you give up to pursue your dream? What job are you planning to leave once your Unicorn takes off? Why?
Poll time : Thought I'd see what video commerce (shoppable video/livestream shopping) platforms people have used and whether you're interested in using one in the near future. Discuss or name the platforms you've used in the comments, and what your experience has been from using such platforms as: - Taobao
- Popshop.live
- Amazon Live
- Instagram Shoppable
- Pinduoduo
- Shoploop
- Grip
- Kuaishou Technology
We are just a 2 member team where my cofounder does all the coding and I do the design, product management and testing. I started an Insta and FB page to start getting some followers and marketing the product but I always find myself struggling to juggle between all of these different types of work items and switching contexts. Most of the time gets spent on Product itself, and barely anything on the growth. What about you all makers? How do you manage between the two and make sure you are focusing on growth as much as the product?
