I'm a writer (mostly in 🇳🇱 Dutch) and I also made yelmair.com

Agree. Would be nice to get some more information about the people working on the projects on here.

I would say it's the other way around. For all my products I first started building a brand (albeit passively by just posting blogs and on social media) and only after noticing interest/visitors/following/requests/emails/dm's I started thinking about making products (mostly books, but I also offered services in the past) I could sell to this audience and other interested people.

I would find it really hard to first build and then later working on the branding.

Not really sure if this answers your question.

It sure does does help getting a feeling of what others think of it. And it totally makes sense in the starting phase of a product.

Having been an influencer myself in the somewhat early days of Instagram (2014-2018) I would prefer option 1. I'm also curious why you would think the commission is too high.

Marc: please no feature requests
Me: ok

Haha. No I like the idea of having different "types" of projects.

For example a project could be "business" or "hobby". And that would let you filter WIP so that you can see everybody's hobbies haha. Might be kinda fun.

Sounds cool and very logical. Maybe users can be able to change project into product once it's (an instance, item or membership) sold?

I know this might be too simple, but I prefer to do the bare minimum of legal texts and just offer service like a real human because I absolutely hate to call / email services and jump through hoops and talk to robots to get stuff done.

I just wrote simple text on a Google Doc for people who use my site www.yelmair.com as well as people who buy my books (e-books and physical products):
