I’m taking a similar approach with a small utility project in Pakistan. Instead of building a broad platform, I focused on one specific problem: making it easier for IESCO customers to check their electricity bill information online.
I’ve been working on the project around long-tail searches such as checking the bill amount, due date, and getting a duplicate bill. It’s been a useful learning experience in terms of SEO, user intent, and building a simple tool around a very specific need.
For anyone interested, I’ve put the project here: https://onlinebilliesco.pk/

I think writing is such a skill that is super powerful. Someone from your team should work on it.
If you can do, your product can be unstoppable.

Hey Bro what tool are you working on?
Great post 🔥🔥
Hi,
It's a very small tool that lets you calculate the worth of your Twitter account & how much each followers are worth.
Sort of a Calculator ;)
You do too much man, how is anyone meant to be able to outwork you?
Great shit man. If it's already launched then link me to it?
Is your side project being used to help build something else?
Hehe. Not much work to build that. It was an easy one. I just have research & analytical mindset. So if anything catches my eye & looks interesting & doable, I do it ( if it doesn't take too much time)
Just try to see what new/interesting things people are doing & analyze if it can be replicable to your niche/project without entirely copying it. Improvise it.
That's how you can learn & build new things.
I will post it once I launch it ;)
