For me, finding customer needs and pain points, optimizing existing products, and creating new ones.
What about you guys?

No problem!
Going to start marketing the DM tool I’ve been working on for a few months.
It’s finally minimally useful, so gotta start getting it in front of people
Good luck to you!
My resolution for this year is to be able to launch a product and be able to make some amount of money from it. I'm still in the ideation phase as I recently stumbled upon the indie hacker scene but I'm excited to get something out there.
Really trying hard to get a product launched sometime this year. It's really hard for a regular day person to launch an idea that has proven to work & be profitable (at least based on revenue research on others who did it first) be taken by others who had the same idea but had a network of devs to make it into the market XD sucks that I didn't really think much about developing programs until early last year and I'm paying dearly for it. Not giving up though, because the whole AI space is just getting started IMO. Happy late new years :)
Good luck! You will do it!
I hope to launch a subscription design service in 2024. Working on it now and hope to launch in the beginning part - Q1 of this year. Currently, I am a digital designer for a Fortune 500 pet industry retailer and have experience with high volume workflows. I figured why not take the cap off of my income. :-)
That’s a great goal Marcie! How do you plan on making it happen?
thank you for asking. It is a bit of an exploration because I need to sit with myself and really decide what am I good at, what do I want to do all day, and what kind of clients do I want to attract?
Ah I know the feeling well. Got any gut feeling?
I imagine you’ve heard about Design Joy?

yes! totally the inspiration for launching my own. i think it will take time but i would like to get to where Brett is at eventually.
Brett is amazing. A genius, really.
So you need to do some deep soul searching... do you know any frameworks that can help you? And beyond the initial figuring things out, do you have a plan for client acquisition?
To finally monetize my work. I've been building and growing my community for my B2B marketing gallery for 6 months now..
I have some soft goals for 2024:
Launch more.
Great!
I will launch new project. It is crowd powered searchable link collection hub. If I believe in indie hacking, I want to do more projects and meet new people. If not, I'll go back to cybersecurity to learn more low level things.
Got it! Wish you success!
Learn everything
No problem!
Try to figure out how to not be an idiot at marketing.
Marketing is always hard! I also struggle with marketing.
