I really liked this bit of advice. I'm currently working on building my first side project to get the full experience of designing, building, deploying then marketing etc. before I make a start on another more unique idea. It has always been on my mind whether I should market my other idea before I build it out or just focus on building - I've got some word-of-mouth feedback but I think it would make sense to create a landing page for my unique idea (after investigating if it's possible to do) to get more feedback while I start working on it. I've watched so much start-up content since I'm an aspiring entrepreneur but I must say your videos so far have been really inspiring, I also like the short, conciseness of them but I look forward to seeing more from you! Good stuff!

[@bs3973]

I look forward to your content. It’s short, sweet, straight to the point! It’s also really nice to see you building in real time for the duration of your videos. Great work and keep it up! You’re killing it as a Solo Founder!

[@edmundyong]

Thanks bro appreciate that a lot 🫡

[@AndreyChirikov]

Gave me a grasp of hope to stop being lazy and do the work that relies only on yourself. Thanks for the vid, cant wait for the upcoming one

[@chaomingli6428]

You should build first if there’s competition because your competitors have proven that the market exists.

[@shanmukh9874]

Good point 😊

[@lutendolukhele6754]

Yes I agree

[@syrecollins]

Do both, that way you get to attract potential users as you build

[@hackraise]

Great, are you not worried that OpenAI release a folder management tool?

[@thegreatkizo]

Basically like how Apple killed the need for file managers as well as Password managers.

[@rigelr5345]

Figuring out what people want or are missing first before building it is such a good idea

[@Muntazir-Ali]

Thank for this video !!

[@LeelKarunaratne]

Good stuff, bro! I’ve watched all your videos so far, and they’ve been super motivating. The project you’re working on is an amazing idea too!

[@edmundyong]

I appreciate that! Thanks bro 🫡

According to me marketing is secondary first you need to have a solid product so for me coding is most important . but like your approach on this . I am confident it will surely help me some day . by the way just wanted to ask do you have a github profile?

[@ashaz166]

Man i also wanna learn your level of programming like the feautres you have built in your extension i just know about html and css can you give me a advice what should i do next also i just use vs code pls help bro

[@prajwaladhav3123]

I have a similar situation where I not able to decide whether I should raise funds first or create an MVP, let me know your thoughts 💭

[@edmundyong]

If you plan to raise money, most likely an MVP is required to pitch to investors

[@prajwaladhav3123]

[@GinoToch]

@@edmundyong Can you maybe name some examples on why there would be a need to raise money? In my start up case, I only can think of ads that can be constly.
