At this price point, if you have any sales at all, TMW is practically free. Very solid stuff from Justin.

Very interesting! Clearly it _can_ be used as a project mgmt system, but what did you _intend_ it to function as? Is this recommended as a meta-layer that complements the activity in your project mgmt system, or as a replacement for a project mgmt system?

Fantastic value! I'm surprised you're only charging $9, given that you have students who have scored thousands of dollars in raises based on this info. I've been kiiinda-sorta considering a jump back into the corporate world, and this is exactly the kind of thing I'll need to ensure my value is respected. Good stuff, keep up the solid work.

I've seen Levels in the wild several times & have purchased from at least 1 site using it. It's the kind of thing that makes me think " I wish I'd built that!", which is a rare experience for me. It's clear, uncluttered, and puts the sales page experience on greased rails, from a purchasers perspective. Great work.

I'm pretty excited to see my course on PH! I know that landing page doesn't look like much, but it's backed up by 10 solid lessons for freelancers. So, the gist of this course is that freelancers have several very common modes of conflict with our clients. We may not *think* of it as conflict at the time, but it is. For example: "Why won't my client answer my e-mails?" 'Why won't my clients pay...

Hey all! I had a great talk with Brad Robinson, founder of Cantabile, a live performance tool for musicians. Aside from being interested due to my long-time musical dabblings, I found his story interesting because a) it spans a solid 10 years, taking us back to the days when selling software online was much less straightforward, and b) Brad managed to do such a great job of product-market fit...

First off, big thanks to @charlieirish for posting this. I'm a Gumroad creator myself, and was initially freaked-out by the news of layoffs. Then I remembered - I have a podcast! What better way to get the straight info direct from the founder than to ask for an interview? I love living in the future. :) I found talking to Sahil to be educational and reassuring. I'm riding the Gumroad train...

Listened to the podcast this morning, loved it. It was a great way to counter the isolation of working by myself, and feel like I was amongst geeks without having to listen to code talk. :)

Thanks so much for posting this episode of Chasing Product! I feel like the show is on a strong streak lately, and am especially proud of this episode. I had planned to get Steli to share some nuts & bolts sales tactics for small-timers like myself. The universe, however, thinks it's cute when I make plans - Steli was in the mood to talk mental game, and it was gold, so I rolled with it and it...

Hey all! I invited Ian Lawson onto the show because the moment I saw SlickPlan, I had an immediate, intense sensation of "I wish *I'd* built that!". As a freelancer, the site-map-creating product was just so clean and useful, I was in love from the get-go. So, I dug and dug until I had contact info for Ian, determined to talk to him. It turns out that SlickPlan has a pretty interesting story,...
