Thank you for your reply @gvrizzo ! So for you it boils down to: is the subject something that can help you improve yourself, right? You need a clear focus on the direct benefits for you. Are there specific books you've read recently that come into mind?

Yes. I'm currently reading "Positioning" (Al Ries and Jack Trout) which talks about positioning and good / bad names. It's going to help me because I'm in the midst of rebranding #csspro

Thank you for your reply @jefftriplett ! Interesting to read you're into audiobooks. I've been postponing taping my books because I'm unsure about the possible reach. Will look into this.

Thank you for your reply @tomcnle ! I will make sure to create a nice cover :-D

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.
