A newsletter for startup/side-project ideas
#free-ideas
Hey guys,
I am planning to create a newsletter in which I will send the subscribers 10 startup/side-project ideas per week. The ideas may/may not be original. I will handpick these ideas by doing my own analysis.
Would any of you be interested in this service? Please let me know your views in the comments.
Isn't Betalist a daily collection of ideas?
Haha glad I am not the only person who does/thinks the same.
And Kickstarter is a list ranked by market interest 😁
Yes it is :) Even I use it like that. But I still think I have something more to offer by curating those ideas a bit more
I like https://10words.io/
Keeping the entire newsletter very short with just 10 words.
cool. this looks great
Hey! Have you seen the Startups from The Bottom (https://startupsfromthebottom.com) newsletter?
I've been subscribed to it for some months now, and some ideas are worth reading.
I'm even building a site right now (with the Startups From The Bottom team) for archiving the ideas and generating a community around it. You can read about the project over here: https://javoscript.com/blog/post/2019-challenge-mvp-1-startups-from-the-bottom-newsletter-community
Best of luck!
This is cool. I am glad someone else is also building something similar.
Startups from the bottom here! :)
Most of the ideas are original/not implemented yet. I do research before posting an idea and try to keep all of the fresh/unique. I'm on #154. The biggest takeaway from readers is providing actionable items rather than just an idea.
It does take quite a bit of time ~30mins per idea unless I sit down and do a bunch in bulk then I get in the "zone." I even have friends/members send in ideas... it is hard to keep the "creative juices" going.
As @javougarte mentioned, we're working together to build out a website for members to search for ideas, comment and create an indiehacker like community around ideas.
Best of luck, there's always room for more! Check out 5 ideas a day as well.
Hey @briant1 , I subscribed last night. I love the format of your idea emails, it's easy to read and understand how an action could possibly be executed.
Not sure if you have come across Nugget.one , they do something similar as well. cc @azero0
Hey @Nakkeeran, thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you like it so far!
Yep! Nugget.one was the original inspiration. Startups from the bottom is very similar to the original nugget.one newsletter. Nugget.one did an update a while back that pivoted towards motivation tracking... I ended up losing interest and left.
@briant1 Thanks for the tips. I have already subscribed to your newsletter :) . We can try our different solutions to tackle this problem. Overall it will be good for the users.
Thanks for subscribing, let me know what you think. I make it a point to read and respond to every email... feel free to email me with any questions. From a recent survey I found most people use the newsletter for "inspiration to find their next startup project." Good luck!
Nope, have more than enough of my own ideas.
What if I send you ideas on areas that you are interested on?
I've been contemplating the same thing actually, so I can't help but think this is something that other people are interested in. I generally operate under the assumption that if I want a thing, some percentage of the population will want it too. That turns almost everything into a targeting problem, assuming you can execute the idea.
Yeah that's one way to come up with ideas. Scratching your own itch.
That's a lot of ideas to keep sharing.
I tried following such blogs. After a few weeks you get stuck of scrolling through worthless ideas
Yeah true. even I have faced this myself.
There are several places out there doing this. Me included.
I can tell you that there is an interest in it from a users perspective but it is really hard to monetise this if that is your intention.
I run Problemoftheday.co and I used to average 2k users visiting per month. Now its down to under 1k.
I can tell you that @daviddel has far more numbers than me with his 5 Ideas a day site and also struggles to monetise that.
Hi cwinhall,
yeah I have seen a couple sites that do this. I just wanted to try something out in this space. Glad to know that you did see some traction with this. Just wanted to know how big of a problem this is. Thanks for the info.
