I quit my freelance clients to fully focus on it!

This week I dropped my hourly-based freelance projects and my MRR went from 4550€ to 250€.

Why?

Cause I need time to focus on something new!

I'll launch a UX productized-service focused on user-onboarding to help fellow founders grow their products!

The last months I worked as a freelance contractor charging 4300€ per month for 12hours per week.

At first it felt like a great opportunity, but later on I realized I am again an employee to a company.

Even if it was 3 days for 4 hours it was taking too much mental energy.

In the end I wasn't happy.

I had money and 20 hours to focus on building my SaaS thinkoutloud.io, but the process wasn't fun.

My dream is to do indiehacking.

To build products, grow them, make them beautiful and find people to use them.

I don't want to just sell my hours.

The last few months I 've been flirting with the idea of productized freelancing with UX video reviews and 1-1 coaching.

I actually gave it a try to test the demand.

I sold 1 video and landed 3 UX coaching clients on Twitter and LinkedIn!

Here is the relevant Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/JimZarkadas/status/1387803362217717763

In other words, I validated my idea and I saw there is a market for it.

So what's next?

My plan is to focus on it for the next 4 months, launch it, grow it, and replace my salary with it.

My vision with this UX service is to help more @IndieHackers build products that are easy-to-use.

And user on-boarding is the first and most crucial part of their users journey.

That's why I decided to focus on it!

That's all for now, new updates coming soon!

Can't wait to meet new amazing people and see how this product idea will evolve 🤩
