12 products in 12 months, this was week 3
I’m building 12 products in 12 months, all in public and I just finished week 3. Last week I made the most progress on my first project: my personal website. While I’m writing this I’m overjoyed that the website is ‘done’ and ready to be launched, so I can happily say that I will be launching tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to this but I’m also scared to put myself out there for everyone to see. It is something I’m struggling with, so tomorrow will be a big milestone for me.
I know the website is far from being perfect, I still have got a lot of improvements to make, but for now it is good enough. All pages are working, the newsletter subscription form is working and the admin area is working.

Hi Terry, thank you for building your 12 in 12 in public. You gave me the final push to decide to get out of my comfort zone, overcome fear and finally start building and shipping products in public, too. Do you think one product each months is doable and not too hard as a side hustle? My current plan is to build 3 products in 6 months to have a bit more time for each product and to have a checkpoint for potential adjustments. Do you plan to build some kind of community product out of your website? It looks really nice.
Hi @mitja
That's great to read! It's so nice to hear I have inspired someone to give this a try as well!
1 product each month is doable as long as you set realistic goals. Keep it small and simple. Your plan is definitely great, 3 products in 6 months give you a bit more breathing room.
For now my website will just be a showcase of my projects and a place to write my blog posts. Perhaps in the future I might grow it into a community product.
Thank you so much for your comment, great start of the week by reading this!
Please share your Twitter account or keep me posted here on your progress.
