7 days ago,
Carl and
Justin set off on an adventure to build a unique WordPress plugin in one week.
Also - kids or no kids?
This week's project
The inspiration for this project came in August, after I launched
my course. The course platform I was using was expensive. I was being charged $130 / month + 4% of course sales + transaction fees! Since August I've had to pay $1,288.00 to that service. If I'd used Productify, I would have paid only $39. ;)
What I really wanted was to host my course myself on WordPress, but sell it using
Gumroad.
When I shared the idea with
Carl Alexander he had an idea of how he could build it (without using a SaaS backend). So we did!
"This is the product I'm most excited about. I want this. I have told so many people that I want this kind of product." - Paul Jarvis
We shipped it!
Sad news and good news
This is supposed to be the last episode of Season 1. But you folks have been so awesome of joining this journey, and sharing your journey, so we're going to keep this going.
While I get ready for Season 2, we're going to do two Q&A episodes:
- Tuesday, March 3, 2015
- Friday, March 6, 2015
Season 1 launches
- The Build & Launch podcast
- The Product Hunt Handbook
- Network Effects: a web app for notifying groups via SMS
- Irresistible Podcasting
- Productify: sell your WordPress content using Gumroad
