Day 05: Tomorrow is launch day!!

This infinite game is a game changer

Hi 👋 !

Welcome to all new subscribers 🥳 . In this newsletter I document my journey of building out a profitable 💲 online business as a software engineer. Focused, but not limited to, topics about building a SaaS.

So, what was the progress from yesterday?

This is one roller coaster of a journey my friends! 🎢 Yesterday I managed to create all the infographics for the PH launch of EffectiveApe.com and also setup the live deployment of the app to work. 🥳 So technically, it is live but psst haha!

So if you are reading this, you can already go and checkout EffectiveApe.com and tell me whether it works or not.

What is the plan for today?

As you noticed, I have a very s-c-a-t-t-e-r-e-d mind! I jump from topic to topic in my newsletter (and work). So let me share some thoughts that I had about this journey.

As I mentioned in Day 01, changing the mindset of finite to infinite game takes a lot of the pressure away. Suddenly there is no “this product has to succeed” or “this launch cannot fail”. After a few days of reminding myself of this concept, I realized that one of the reasons I started building things on the internet was because of the excitement I get when someone uses my product.

THIS! takes all the pressure away from releasing. I know it sounds stupid, but I am super nervous about launching something that is not fully complete or could have bugs.

TLDR

Today I need to create a small demo video to attach to the PH Launch. Then I will most likely spend the day watching Youtube the day looking at cleaning up the codebase and potentially a way to merge PaydayPuma.com and EffectiveApe into one.

Idea Ian: Daily newsletter called I Built This

What about a newsletter which is basically an interview with a founder of some SaaS where they discuss the technology behind the app.

Hope yous have a nice Sunday and ttyl!

Cheers,

Matt
