2020 is near. I want to make at least 1 profitable product before this year ends.

Before, I made https://kolapedia.com — developer connector by values

https://christmas2020.sawirstudio.com — christmas greeting scheduler

https://hampersy — aggregator for people sharing gifts.

and actually many more. (you can read my other articles, click my profile and you’ll see, or my product hunt)

But the most successful yet product is the https://gumroad.com/l/50phpcode a book where I collect code snippets of useful php tips and functions.

It made $20 in the first day.

With Zero audience, and just sharing to connected forums I know.

But since that day, journey seems so hard. products I built only got visitor and no buyer.

No press.

But, I believe that a successful product is a product that sells. Literally. From day one.

https://levels.io/idea-validation/ Here is one of the supporting point.

I think real validation of an idea happens with executing it and then people getting their credit card out and paying you for it. — Levelsio

The idea of 1 day 1 profitable product

1 day just means the product is small, doable even by yourself. Inspired by Ludum Dare 48 hours game jam, https://ldjam.com you have to make a game in 48 hours.

I just pushed it to 24 hours.

Just to make myself not attached to the product I make.

And the prove is on sight, really, the PHP code book I made, sold (even just 1).

But, It gave me courage to continue with this 1 day 1 profitable product.

By the way, I don’t have audiences like those thought leaders out there. No subscribers to rely on. We’ll see how it turns out.

Coding is not really my hurdle. PHP can be used as my tech stack. Payment integration can be done manually for starting and will be planned as soon as people will buy.

If needed, No code can be an option, although not really considered for now.

I also will try to sell through online. Offline is not an option right now. Probably can validate if the ideas can go as far to the other side?

I hope it can inspire someone to start selling, making, or even bootstrapping.
