"State of the art" ?
Years back, I read Rob Walling's "Start Small, Stay Small" and thought it was fantastic. Going on some of those ideas, I made a side project that was somewhat successful: it was profitable, but nothing I could live on, and the prospects weren't really there to grow it.
So I'm considering getting back in to a side project, and am wondering what I should read up on as some current best practices. Rob's book is pretty old, and the MicroConf I attended was a number of years ago.
I've attended the last 7 MicroConfs and I would say that even though tactics or strategies might evolve slightly, the overall advice stays pretty much the same. Talk to your customers, create something the market wants, find channels to reach your audience, spend more time than you think you should marketing, don't just go heads down coding. You can always catch up on Rob and Mike's podcast "Startup for the Rest of us" and Courtland's IndieHackers podcast is fantastic too.
Echo @hamrickdavid's advice and throw in Andrew Warner's Mixergy podcast.
I binge-listened to a few seasons of Startups for the Rest of Us during my 2016 wonderful 3 day skiing holiday's many hours in queues and lifts. I can't hear them now without a (nice) chill.
(From Perth, Western Australia with a wife who hates the cold, it's a rare indulgence for me to get to ski.)
There is a new edition of some best Rob Walling's posts from his personal blog now available on his page after registration. Just a good additional reading to the book you've mentioned.
Suggest changing title to less generic, are you looking for best practices in tech, in biz models or a successor to the book?
Just looking around for best practices to get started with a side project(s). I've heard things here and there about 'info products', but I'd love more details.
