I very few words I am a 24 yo romantic wannabe indie hacker from Greece, the country of deep economic crisis chasing down this dream of living of side projects that may turn into companies.

So I had always been building products for too long, polishing them, only to find out they were flops. Then, about a two months ago, I decided to approach this 'building a product' thing another way.

I listened to all the cliches and to my amazement they were actually all true. Don't dwell on the idea, launch fast, be scrappy, ditch or focus, repeat.

After taking this approach I built two products in two weeks and launched them on Product Hunt. GitHub Gardener (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/github-gardener), which ended up being the 3rd product of the day and Maker Feed (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/maker-feed), which came first.

I even built them in the complete open on single Twitter threads (https://twitter.com/alexsideris_/status/993523095708332032)(https://twitter.com/alexsideris_/status/997158898665738243)


 GitHub Gardener is making 50$/mo and growing.

Everything sounds great right?

Well I am probably stupid cause I went back to my old habit. Today I am launching a new product that took 6 weeks to build, and again I am feeling the pressure of higher expectations. It's not as long as my first ever product I built, that took a whole year, but still it is 6 times more than my most successful products so far.

When you invest so much time into a product you are attached to it's success or failure. When I launched those two simple product, I honestly didn't give a f about how they would go, and it worked perfectly for me.

Long story short, after this launch today, I am going back to launching faster.

"My new found recipe: Launch fast with low expectations! If you fail you haven't lost much time to dwell upon and also you didn't have high expectations anyway. You are literally unbeatable!"

Here is the link to the product in case you want to check it out.
