I've been building little software side projects for years, but I've always been terrible at marketing them. I come up with some ideas, forget those ideas, do some random stuff, then lose interest. The goal of this repository is to fix that.
-
Copy the marketing-checklist.md file or fork this repository.
-
Add, remove, or modify the tactics as you see fit based on your project and customers.
-
Get to work! The checklist format allows you to keep up with which things you've tried and which you haven't.
-
Profit? I mean, that's the goal, right?
The checklist and companion blog posts are also available online at sideprojectchecklist.com.
