Since December, I've launched two projects: ProjectGallery.me and GlobalPlaylist Chrome Extension. However, when making these, I committed the cardinal startup sin and had 0 plans for how to market or generate revenue from them.

Thus far, I've taken the approach of solving my own immediate problem and hoping that others might have the same problem. Though I'm still getting value from them, it's still basically a "build it, and they will come" approach to business, which is fundamentally flawed.

Unfortunately, I don't have any other ideas to work on. At the moment, my plan is to just continue to iterate on these for my own use until I have some other idea that I'm excited about.

All that said, I did make some improvments along the way. ProjectGallery.me took me over 3 months to get to something I would call "MVP" (which is really kind of a lie since a "product" requires some way of making money, but I digress...), which was super fast relative to what I'd normally take for a project. But from conception to launch, GlobalPlaylist Chrome Extension was done in under 2 weeks.

My hope is that I can come up with some idea that I'm able to boil down to an MVP and turn around in a similarly rapid pace to begin to actually validate it. But until then, I'm going to use my free time to chug on these 2 projects. Hopefully, I'm not just filling the void with meaningless work with no movement😅
