to include more women and women of color. With 52 women now holding these positions, it is becoming increasingly evident that having diverse perspectives is pivotal to the success of any organization.

It was so refreshing to see that 10.4% of women are running companies on the Fortune 500 list this year, an 18% increase from 2022. But, while we’re making some strides, we still have a lot of work to do to diversify the C-Suite further... bit.ly/3WWOurq

Today, I practiced how to loop through an array. I tried three different methods: while loop for loop for...of loop. Out of these three, I liked the for...of loop the most because its syntax was simpler to understand. 🤓 #javascript #100DaysOfCode #WomenInTech

#buildinpublic day 125 this week's action plan ↓

What’s the biggest challenge in starting a tech company?

6 June 2022: made first $ online. 6 June 2023: made over $65K online. It's been a year since we got our first payment notification 🎉 That was a $9 customer from a waitlist for our first product - a collection of tools with great free plans for Indie Founders. Not a SaaS, not revolutionary, and not solving humanity's greatest problems. We built it with @airtable, made a no-code landing page with @typedreamHQ, accepted payments through @gumroad, and launched it on @ProductHunt. What a tech stack 😅 But it was a product that the Indie Founders needed. Even though it was not a fancy tech solution, It saved time and money. So, the biggest lesson — focus on solving real problems and save either time or money (or bring people joy). Not sure how to do it? Here're 4 simple tips for building something people need: 1. There's a high chance your first product will fail (sorry!). So, don't start with brainstorming problems and solutions. Instead, start with choosing your target audience. Perfect scenario — you're a part of this audience. Even if your first product fails, your knowledge about this audience's problems will stay with you. And you'll already have some authority and connections. 2. Don't build SaaS before validating the idea. Validating idea = getting $. If you already have an audience, launch an early bird option (like @_justlilian recently did with his new product - see pinned post). If you don't have an audience, launch a coming soon page and collect emails. But don't expect high conversion to paying customers, it'll be around 10-20%. 3. Create a content product around the problem you want to solve. If it's a successful launch, then start building SaaS. Here are a few ways to validate your SaaS idea with a content product: 🔹 Challenge 🔹 Checklist 🔹 Swipe File 🔹 Workbook 🔹 Curated list 🔹 Template 🔹 Newsletter 🔹 E-book 🔹 Email course 🔹 Closed community 🔹 1-person agency 4. Collect feedback and beta-test. There's a high chance your product won't be perfect from the first iteration. And your landing page, too. So, spend some time and find beta testers. They will help you fix the bugs and make your product better. Also, they will be the first testimonials for your product. Win-win, isn't it? Here're some places where you can find beta testers: @Polywork, @yesramen_, @ProductHunt discussions, @IndieHackers, and #buildinpublic. _____ Why am I sharing this? Cause during 1 year of building Indie Products, I've seen a lot of people burning out. Most Founders I followed in the beginning abandoned building in public and gave up on their products. Shiny idea -> building for 3-6 months -> zero paying customers -> the end. I don't want it to be like that.
