I've built Ship 30 for 30 - a cohort-based writing course - from idea to over 1,400 students in six months. I've learned a ton along the way about marketing, scaling, building community, iterating and improving a course, and made just about every mistake there is to make. I did all this while having a full-time job! I'd love to answer any questions you have on bootstrapping demand for your course, marketing, building, scaling, and everything in-between as well as how to manage side projects. AMA

1-100, 100- 500, 500-1000 How did you get them?

Hey PH! We're offering a freemium service in B2B (https://axolo.co, we help tech teams working on Github and Slack reduce code review time). Most of our features are included in our free plan and we started last week our premium plan for companies looking for more customization. Right now, my main question for our upcoming features is to decide whether each feature should be in the free or the premium plan. Do you have any advice?

It feels good to wake up every day to log Into the first app which was once just an idea in our head and now is used by many others. What is your first app you begin your day with?

If you live and breathe by your calendar, what do you block time for beyond the usual meetings and events?

I m Rosie Sherry and I ve been building communities for quite some time! I m here to answer anything and everything I can about community building. Here are some of the things I ve done: - I started back in 2006 with a local Girl Geek Dinner Meetup - I founded Ministry of Testing, an indie, 7 figure revenue and profitable community of practice for software testers. I handed this community over for someone else to run (I did not sell it). - I led the community at Indie Hackers for a couple of years - I started Indiependent, a small community for indie founders where people get kicked for inactivity - I ve been writing about community at Rosieland (covering community growth, flywheels, Minimum Viable Communities, Community Discovery, and much more!) - I breathe, eat, sleep community Ask me anything about community, I can cover things like: - Tools to use, or not - Community on a budget - Community as a business - Minimum Viable Communities - Community Discovery - Community Growth & Flywheels - Building a sustainable community - Community trends - Why so many people are getting community wrong! I'll be answering questions on the 7th of September!

Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki I can read this book every month and at any time. The overarching theme of Rich Dad Poor Dad is how to use money as a tool for wealth development.

For me it has to be the freedom of being able to choose where I work, on a beach, in my back garden, in a cafe etc, nothing beats that

I'm trying to keep myself productive by planning out and working on simple tasks that will help me achieve my goals for 2023.

I personally think generative ai is going to go mainstream in 2023, bringing about a huge revolution for jobs across design and writing. Most of the opportunity is going to be around platform building and monetisation using the underlying models.

Hey makers What are you launching in 2023 here on Product Hunt? I'll be launching LeadDelta Product Hunt V3 as soon as our Team functionality is released, so it will likely be shipped here in January / early Feb 2023. https://www.producthunt.com/prod... I also wanted to launch my Product Hunt checklist. But that's a side thing. Your turn

Honestly, the distractions around the house are my biggest nightmare while working from home. Even though I am a remote worker, I try to go out and work in coffee shops, and libraries as much as possible so that I am much more disciplined. What about you?

Sometimes it's hard to get back to work and continue from where you left after the weekend. How do you beat brain fog?

I wish someone had told me how much time it would take. I was so naive when I started my company, thinking that it would be easy to get off the ground and make a name for myself. What I didn't realize until later is that there's so much work involved in building a business and so many things that can go wrong. I'm grateful for my experience now, but if I could go back and tell myself something about starting a company, it would be: "Don't expect things to go smoothly. And if you had to pivot... PIVOT!"

As founders, we often wear multiple hats: product manager, engineer, marketer, all in a single day. I'm curious to hear how other founders manage the context switching and the different types of thinking and focus required for these different roles.
