    I've Read Choose Hard, Live Easy: The Art of War for Decision-Making!

    I did it this morning ;) . Regarding the "culture cartel," I think there's something worth exploring there; it's like TV news—we seem hardwired to be more captivated by the "abnormal" or by people making bad decisions. Yeah, I remember the Super Bowl thing—all those ads for food and medication...

    I think I’ve created a three-legged elephant—or maybe I’m just not persevering enough with marketing?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Well, sure. But most of them handle just one function—like Block Site, for instance, which is for blocking sites. My extension, however, performs multiple functions; it’s a productivity ecosystem. That’s where the idea of breaking it up into several mini-extensions comes from. What do you think...

    I think I’ve created a three-legged elephant—or maybe I’m just not persevering enough with marketing?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I think I’ll go in that direction. How do you envision the monetization side of things? I floated a theory just above w Dark Water that might be interesting. Personally, I’m not sure these mini-expansions would command a high price; perhaps it would be better to use them as a promotional platform?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I think you're right. Perhaps the solution—as Jobless mentioned below—would be to break the extension up into smaller parts. Or even make them completely free or available for a negligible price. That way, I could promote my other projects via a small ad banner that appears when the extension is...

    I think I’ve created a three-legged elephant—or maybe I’m just not persevering enough with marketing?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm thinking of developers or people who spend a lot of time working on computers—specifically using Chrome—as well as people addicted to social media or time-consuming websites. I didn't include a questionnaire (though that might actually be a good idea...). Targeting specific groups could...

    The massive sum of 0 euros—haha. Out of over 350 users, I have zero paying subscribers. Yet, the feature restrictions are definitely in place, and the subscription price isn't exorbitant: 4 euros a month, 20 a year. There’s a free 3-day trial to test everything thoroughly; after that, the main...

    I've Read Choose Hard, Live Easy: The Art of War for Decision-Making!

    HOT! BOOKS 
    That book really gave me a kick in the pants; I’m going to read it again because there are plenty of parts I forgot to annotate. One section I really like—which is radical but important—is the one about the "culture cartel." As someone who plays a lot of video games, I appreciated it and it...

    Hello fellow Fastlaners, I’m reaching out because I need some light—not that I’m in the dark, but regarding one of my side projects: focusLab. To keep it brief: it’s a productivity extension for Google Chrome. It includes features like blocking time-wasting sites, to-do lists, a calendar, social...

    AI Is Killing The Fastlane Forum

    I think there’s a solid core of quality users here, and AI won’t change that. I’ve been here for six years, I believe, and reading the stories and the "gold threads" they’re worth their weight in gold. There’s so much content here that AI just doesn’t provide... Let's use AI as a tool, I don't...

    Gen Z Says This Is the Main Reason They Don’t Date: ‘Feels So Unattainable’

    NEWS 
    Interesting, I've read an article, few months ago. It was saying it's the generation the less social. I think social networks changed it in the bad way. Some spend more 7 hours on their smartphones. That's curious. We're more connected than ever, but we see each other less than ever

    Developer/author looking to scale

    HOT! MARKETING EXECUTION 
    Hi fellow Fastlaners, just a quick update: MTF has offered to help with the book side of my business. That’s already a huge help. I’m still looking for someone to handle the iOS/Android app side of things. Even if it’s just one of the two, that’s fine. Even if it’s just a few minutes a week or...
