#31 - Outflash - Finding, validating, building, promoting and getting your first paying customer

If you have listened to a few episodes of Find Your Side Hustle. You have probably realized I normally jump in, both feet first. In this episode, I chat about coming up with an idea for a product by seeing what someone else has done, then building something that is the same but different. Next, I touch upon the steps I went through to do "market validation". To see if it is something people actually want and are willing to use and pay, before going away and building it. I also quickly chat about the tech stack I use to build and run Outflash. With Outflash I hit the first big milestone. I got a paying customer. Someone has subscribed to one of the paid plans for Outflash. It works. After years of trying this felt like a turning point for me.
