Workorder

If you're a freelancer and is constantly asking yourself the question, "How do I find clients?", then you need to consider looking at "vertical niches".

Vertical niches are narrow-focused service offerings where plenty of customers are ready and willing to pay you to do work.

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to launch on HN and PH at the same time for Workorder.io.

Workorder is a site that lets users create a custom order and checkout page for their services. Think of it like a personal Fiverr page, on your own custom domain (if you'd like), and can accept PayPal and credit card payments (via Stripe).

I write about my server set up and the hardware that's needed to handle the traffic.

Making money on the internet can be hit or miss. After many years of taking a break from making money on the internet, I was frustrated on where to begin.

Almost 5 years ago, I started freelancing again to regain some of that confidence and to better understand the landscape at the time.

Freelancing can help someone who's new to all this "indie hacking" thing get started.

Stripe isn't available in certain parts of the world. PayPal still is a widely accepted payment method.

Workorder.io now accepts both.

It's Labour Day here in Canada and the United States. I chose (what I hope to be) a relatively quieter day to post on HN, PH, and IH.

Here are the links to HN and PH to give the product if you'd like to give it some love:

Product Hunt - https://www.producthunt.com/posts/workorder

HackerNews - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17900730

And also a Product Hunt launch and show HN.

Making a living online means to create businesses that have a "moat". That is, you need to make sure that it can't be commoditized.

New blog post up at Workorder.io!

Every time I launch a product, I feel like dragging my feet on content marketing. A big part of this less-than-desired feeling to start content marketing is due to the fact that it's time intensive and the returns are hard to measure at the beginning.

But from basically every thing I know (based on my experiences as well as stories from others), it's like compound interest: the earlier you start, the faster you'll reap the rewards.

So without ado, here's my first article:

Finding product market fit is probably one of the most difficult things to do.

Today, I've identified two potential target audiences. I'll be performing outreach via three separate methods so see:

(1) If I guessed my target audience correctly

(2) If the target audience responds well to one of the three methods of outreach

Strategies that will be tried: (A) Cold email outreach (B) Online marketplaces (C) Some cheap ads
