There has never been a better time to create something of your own.

Here is a list of 5 side-projects you can start while having a 9-5 job:

[THREAD] 👇

1/ Ebook

- Pick a topic you worked on for years

- Write it down, don't bother about format or clarity.

- Re-read it a couple of times, remove everything unnecessary.

- Ask a few friends to read it. Ask them to ROAST IT.

- Use a 6x9” page and a 12pt font

🤩 Inspiration:

- @dvassallo: AWS the good part: gumroad.com/l/aws-good-par…

- @arvidkahl: he wrote zerotosold (gumroad.com/a/8820849), and a second book is coming!

2/ Curated list

- Find a pain in a particular niche
- Curate a HUGE list of resources that solves that pain
- Put everything in an @airtable
- Sort & tag everything
- Sell it on @Gumroad

🤩 Inspiration:

- Scrapbook by @kacperstaniul: gumroad.com/a/145626227/dF…

- GetTims by @quentinvllrd

- The list of 400+ places I created: gum.co/iIZdb

3/ Job Board

- Pick a small niche of people
- Create a job board with a no-code tool
- Curate (or scrap) a bunch of job offer in that niche daily
- Post them on your job board
- Get some traffic some existing community or social media
- Sell upgraded job posting

🤩Inspiration:

- The most successful one is probably remoteok.io by @levelsio

- I created my own job board: @Remotefr
(not getting any revenues from it for now but AMA about it!)

4/ Notion Dashboard

- Same as an ebook or course but in a more interactive way!
- Pick a topic you know well
- Break it down into pieces
- Create some comprehensive & actionable content in Notion to educate your customers
- Sell it on @Gumroad

🤩Inspiration:

- @optemized: He's the notion maestro → optemization.com

- @JanelSGM: She's one of the most successful makers in the Notion Dashboard game → newsletteros.com

- @meisuleen: A dashboard to build your MVP with no-code gumroad.com/l/BzXzx

5/ Marketing Agency

- Choose a marketing skill you already have (or want to learn): SEO, FB ads, email marketing

- Help friends or network connection for free

- Ask for testimonials, create a landing page with Carrd

- Cold email to get clients

- Automate everything

🤩 Inspiration:

- @PaikCapital: He's the guy you want to follow to learn how to build an agency

- @Deveshd3: He built a $20k+ MRR agency in a few months

There are a LOT more opportunities than these 5.

It's never been easier. You can start a business and start making money with less than $100 investment!

Give it a try and maybe you won't need to go to your 9-5 anymore!

(It's what happened to @KennethCassel!)

I share a lot of insight about how to launch your startup.

I'm also in the challenge of building 6 products in 6 months. I #buildinpublic and share all my learning openly!
