I'm Daniel. I made $404,473 selling an ebook and a video course on the internet. AMA 👇

2.5 years ago I decided to quit the rat race and I left my career in big tech to go work for myself, on my own terms. Initially, I was going to focus all my attention on building a SaaS, but I quickly realized I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket. Fast forward to today, I make and sell educational info products, do some contracting (working quarter-time at Gumroad), run a SaaS business, and at the end of this month, I also plan to get into selling physical products.I made $550K+ in revenue since I started working for myself, with over $400K coming from info products. Ask me anything!

Ideas for PH-like small SaaS

Hey Sometimes I can come up with an idea that perfectly fits the Producthunt vibe. Usually, it is a SaaS but really small, so it can be someone's pet project. If you have the same ideas, let's share them here! It might help the new members to start with something small but cool & useful! My attempt: Simple & Sexy monitoring of your product key metrics. (inspired by YC Startup School dashboard). 1. You code secret endpoint that returns the key metrics (DAU, Retention, $$$) 2. SaaS calls this endpoint each day and saves result 3. You receive a sexy & simple dashboard for all your pet projects. It can be viewed on a large TV or in iOS app widget. Let's start our day with growing metrics motivation!

Hey. I'm Harry Dry, founder of Marketing Examples. AMA 👇

Two and a half years ago, I started Marketing Examples. People liked the case studies. So I left my job and went full-time. Since then, they've been read by more than one million people. Which... still blows my mind. Ask me anything about growing the site and newsletter to 90,000 subscribers. Or share what you're working on and get a few quick marketing and copywriting tips. Cheers. Update #001 Replying atm. Update #002 All done. Thanks.
