IH n00b here, just saying hello.

Basically just exploring this site, and noticing that it’s very SaaS focused. Maybe I’m in the wrong place, or maybe I’m in the right place, only time will tell.

A little about me:
I’m a 34 year old guy from the outskirts of Philadelphia, now living in the city. My life has been filled with started, stalled, and failed businesses - online and off.

I don’t remember how I stumbled upon this site a couple days ago, but I started reading and found that you guys have a nice sense of community, albeit based (seemingly) around coding and SaaS products. These are two things that I’ve never really grasped as potential income streams, and I’m 100% NOT EVER going to develop software.

I’ve done sales for about 10ish years, generally in a face-to-face environment, which obviously isn’t scalable, so maybe that’s what interests me most about the IH community.

Ultimately: I am again an employee, hoping to write my own story of “How I went from That to This,” and create something that will make a comfortable lifestyle for my son and I.

Wow, lots of words for a simple sentiment! Thanks for reading, or if you skipped to the bottom:
Hello!

    Welcome Jeff. I am also from Philly Suburbs (technically South Jersey/Cherry Hill). Always good to connect with like minded folks. Hit me up if you want to catch up just to chat with a fellow IndieHacker.

      Isn’t it a small world?? I don’t know if/how a messaging system works on IH, but we should definitely talk, being so close geographically! Glad you chimed in, very glad to hear from you!

        haha it is a small world indeed. I sent you a direct email (found in your profile).

      Everyone has to start the journey somewhere, right? Hope to see your story form as mine does!

      LMAO 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Can’t wait to read those herpes articles!

      Ultimately, I’m hoping to earn myself out of debt and create passive-ish income streams that allow me the freedom to travel, spend some time with my son, and have something to leave him when I die.

      And hopefully avoid herpes.
