I did a crazy experiment: Built and shipped 25 projects in 25 weeks.
Several of those projects made it to the top of HN here. One went viral and ended up in TechCrunch and many other big-name sites: https://channelsurfer.tv
I wasn't _trying_ to make money. I just wanted to build a bunch of cool shit, rekindle my love for building websites, make the web more fun, and maybe figure out what I wanted to do next.
Now I'm trying to focus on making money. I'm kind of out of money, so I'll likely need to do some freelance work for a while.
Soon I'm going to release something to help others do the same thing. Ship high-quality stuff quicker.
That sounds fascinating and I thought about doing similar, but as tech savy as I am to tackle every idea people throw at me, I am unable to come up with those ideas. Did you have a specific process to identify what your 25 projects to work on?
I pretty much kept a document of ideas. I would just randomly think of something and jot it down. The ideas I kept were exciting enough to keep coming back to and writing more down became what I built.
People have to know that it's not about money
Cash is not the way to make your life sunny
There is no need if you've got the soul seed
Love life and peace it can only begin
When you know in your heart sun shines from within
Love all your brothers and love all your sisters
Love all your misses and love all your misters
Don't be shy when you're sharing your kisses
'Cause jealousy gets boos and hisses
