As every one who follows me knows: it's really tough to do BOTH development/product and marketing/sales as one person.
Over the last couple of weeks, I've felt a shift from making and selling my own stuff to marketing and selling other peopleβs stuff.
It removes one layer of uncertainty: I don't have to build something and figure out whether I can sell it, at the same time. As long as I have access to builders who make sellable stuff but don't want to do marketing, ( at least the second half there's no shortage of...)
Curious to see where it goes.

Don't let the unskilled hype indiehackers bait you into b2c ugc etc
Just make a boring product for the niche you know and your chances of making 10kMRR are way higher
