I have made profitable SaaS earlier, profitable newsletter and community too. This is my first time doing around an Ebook - https://zerotofounder.co/ The book is primarily for people to help build profitable side projects. I picked Notion by choice as this will more of a living document than a stale Ebook. There are some big content updates planned. Happy to answer anything. It's not traditional book though. It's a book with exact notes without any fluff. It covers below topics:
- SaaS is not the only option to generate revenue/recurring revenue
- How to launch on PH, Betalist and experiment faster
- Where to find users
- How to find some good ideas
- List of places to post about your product
- Marketing & Growth
- Dev founder vs Non-Tech founders
- and a lot of other topics too (roughly close to 200 varied questions)

My biggest takeaway is that Failure is a Redirection. My first Print on Demand store was a big mess and a complete failure. But instead of giving up, I tried looking up Digital Marketing on the whole, back in 2021. That's what helped me pivot towards Copywriting and Content Writing 6 months later. Today, I'm happy I make money as a Writer online. If I had given up after my first startup's failure, I would've just gone back to my boring, miserable life of studying to participate in the rat race.
A simple question for the PH community. This year, would you prefer to have 2x more time (for family and personal projects) or rather have 2x more money?
With so many builders out there, which do you think does it best? I've been using webflow for the past week or so for my newsletter blog and it's been an awesome experience.
Networking is essential to business success. The more we interact with others, the more we become aware of the opportunity for growth. The networking can happen anywhere and be successful. But we have LinkedIn & Twitter (the online networking) it's much more complicated. It has to be strategic, structured and planned, all without going too much into self-promotion or excessive presentations, the best practice is to make yourself known while discovering the others! how do you do it?
Our habits assist us in growing or limit our ability to do so. It is indeed not an easy job to give up our bad habits and replace them with positive ones. It requires dedication and willpower.
How do you define if any particular habit of yours is good or not?
What do you practice to overcome it?
Many love working remotely, but serendipity moments in the office can be lacking, "Serendipitous moments are those that can happen by chance, EX: like a coffee break that would happen through a physical structure."
If I'm being completely honest, I have built a successful resume maker tool but I'm not passionate at all about resumes. Although it is really rewarding to help people in something as important as their job search, what I am really passionate about is building cool things online and the potential of building a lifestyle business that would allow me to be a time millionaire. But I always wonder how it would feel when both boxes are checked- when you are passionate about the problem you are solving AND passionate about building your own business. Sometimes what you're passionate about is not economically feasible- I would love to develop video games but the market is already saturated. Although having a successful business could leave room for me to use my free time to follow my passion. Then the line can get blurry- am I passionate about the problem my product is trying to solve or passionate about the result of solving that problem? I don't actually care about resumes but I work on it with passion because of the possible outcome ... what is the difference then? I'm sure there are plenty of people on this forum who have had a great money-making idea and went for it. But that's not necessarily in niche that you feel passionate about. What do you think is the extent to which a business can be hindered when the founder(s) have no passion for the problem the business is solving? Do you think it even matters?

Hey, hunters!
Many of us work from home or in a hybrid system. If that's your case: what's your favorite perk of working from home? My top reasons:
- Wearing comfy clothes - Avoiding the commute - Being able to travel! I'm currently in Europe for a month, and that wouldn't have been possible if I worked in-office.
I started using Copilot from GitHub. The experience was a bit painful in the beginning, but now I feel it helps me a lot. (Copilot helps while writing code) I even use it to create Google Sheet functions as it uses GPT-3 and can do more than code. What kind of tools are you using and to what extent? I'd love to have some recommendations.
Do you think BARD will take over ChatGPT because it's part of the Google ecosystem and will be integrated and adopted quicker by the mass? Or does ChatGPT already have a considerable headstart?
