Thanks for the response. I feel like I have a lot of experience building things, but most of the ideas I come up with are very content (lots of work, little growth up front but growth accelerates over time) vs service based. It feels hard to gauge success of a project like #financialtoolbelt right now because I haven't monetized yet and traffic while decent, is still pretty low. Any thoughts specific to more content heavy businesses or does the same framework apply?
I think the same framework applies. Instead of adoption you'd be looking at consumption, how much the content is shared, conversion rates to newsletters, etc.
If you find it hard to decide whether to invest more time, ask yourself what date you'd need in order to make that decision either. For example, if you don't know yet how passionate people are about the content add something to gauge this. (newsletter signup, etc)
@marckohlbrugge has answered this much than I. I have the same problem. My take - creating good content every day or week is really difficult. So a project that requires fewer content updates seems better to me, but with some really good content for marketing and SEO.
