Share IH: One successful product, two dead
I’ve built 3 products so far. 2 of them are dead and forgotten. 1 of them is still up and running.
Even though the “successful” product is not the biggest or a well known name, it’s helped a handful of people. Knowning that is humbling and well worth working on.
I wrote an article discussing all 3 products that I’ve built in the last 7 months. I talk about how they came to be and the result after me launching.

Let me know if you had any similar experience.
did you try partnering with someone in sales to get managely off the ground? It seems like a worthwhile product, but it would require some aggressive sales effort to get into gated communities
I honestly haven't. Reason why, it just didn't cross my mind. As I was writing this article, it did hit me that it could be a solid idea still. I do know a couple people that I would try to convince to see if they would like to partner up.
Do you have any suggestions on how to find an awesome sales person? I will have to try IH. I see folks doing that!
How do you measure the success of leija.io? If it's not generating income or has a significant returning community, why would it be more successful than the other two?
Those are really good questions.
Currently I'm measuring success by impact. Can I make people talk about what I'm making or get a reaction.
Generating income or building a huge community is just a byproduct of how much impact a product has made. And out of all 3 products, my blog site has won that trophy so far. That can always change of course.
Let me know if that doesn't answer your question.
If you want to get better than "successful idea" please contact me by email (on my profile). We'll discuss how to do that.
😏 thanks. Will be in touch soon!
So ur successful product is a blog? Nothin wrong with that. I thought u said that final idea renerated cash.
Nope, never said anything about generating cash :) Maybe one day!
The link to leija.io on https://www.leija.io/post/one-successful-product-two-dead gives 404. The link itself is on leija.io but just in case you want to fix it :)
That's odd. I'm not getting a 404. I just re-pasted the url. Hope that fixes it.
Thanks for pointing it out!
I'm also getting a 404 when clicking on the link, the issue seems to be the ref parameter, https://www.leija.io/ref=leijaio doesn't work for me but https://www.leija.io/ does (should be https://www.leija.io/?ref=leijaio, I believe, with the '?')
Oh okay, I get it. This is within the post. Yea, it's suppose to be:
https://www.leija.io/?ref=leijaio
fixing now!
