Made $800 with a forum post.

The post starts like this:
"A Bootcamp for your UX. I'm building a community of founders who do regular usability tests for each other. You do 3 tests per week, you get 3 tests per week. You commit to improving your UX every week for 6 weeks straight. [...]"

And ends like this:
"It’s $90 for the entire Bootcamp.
That is $15 per week or $5 per test.

I started writing on April 30.
I posted on May 15.
22 people responded.
I sent them a Stripe payment link with a discount.
16 people paid up and are now members of the UX Slack group.

I didn't create a landing page.
I didn't design a graphic.
I wrote a convincing post.

Writing is powerful.

PS.
Great PG essays on writing

Great books on writing

    Very cool, love the idea and love the scrappy initiative to get it off the ground even more. Using some of these amazing tools manually is something many more of us should do to get started (e.g. Stripe payment links, invite-only slack community etc).

    Interested to see where UX swaps goes
