I build apps. Now making a digital course
I build apps daily.
Yet, I have to admit there is a limit to what an app can do.
Years ago I built a pomodoro inspired focus timer: 'DayNinja' in app stores.
My goal was to teach developers how to focus better.
But when it comes to the 'flow state' there is so much more to it. I am passionate about the topic. There is a lot to know... hard to teach... the thing about the flow state is that it is all in mind so it lends toward coaching.
I started writing a coaching chatbot but had some negative feedback about the 'uncanny valley'...
So now I am writing a digital course.
Have you seen a transition from app to digital product done well? I'd be keen to see examples.
Check out @NathanBarry of ConvertKit fame and his "Product First" approach.
Thanks @psto. Oh! it appears I'm on this path without realising it was an 'approach'.
I'll explain.
I started drafting a book over the last 2+ years, just because I needed to get my ideas and methods out on paper primarily for my own benefit and refining... all the time looking at what to do with this knowledge product wise.
I don't really have an audience so figured there was not much point in publishing a book. So about a month ago I started posting productivity tips every day on LinkedIn. So far getting good engagement!
Now in the last 2 weeks Gumroad started the #14DayProductChallenge so I jumped in and started creating a course. I've created a ship page on ProductHunt. With this page I'll help out subscribers by dripping exclusive content from my course.
I'll also create the product here on IH too so I can inform the community on progress 👍

It looks like you are on the right track :) Good luck!
