“I sold my Tiny Website”

@tinyprojectsdev sold his On Item Store, after receiving an offer via email.

”Ok, you got a deal at $5,300”.

1. Building a Project

Back in June, I built One Item Store, a micro online store builder that lets you create a page to sell a single item on repeat.

I hacked it together over two weeks and launched it.

2. Meeting the Buyer

One morning I received an email.

3. Negotiating a Price

4. Money For Code

• Buyer transfers $5,300 to the escrow service;
• I transfer the domain name, users, and Github repository to the buyer;
• Brief video call explaining the code;
• Buyer has 7 days to try everything out;
• Escrow service transfers $5,300 to me.

5. Conclusions

• Build things you enjoy.
• Write about the process.
• Attract a small audience.
• Attract opportunities (buyers, customers, job offers).

6.

Code something for a few weeks, then write about it.

Five people will probably read it and that's awesome. Next time it might be ten!

Keep building lots of little things that pique your interest, talk about it, and great things will start happening.
