Always leaning towards product due to the ability to scale. But starting out with product is really hard as many people want to see successful use cases, case studies, etc. I found a done-for-you (DFY) approach a good way to solve the cold-start problem so I've been manually onboarding new users and setting up consultation work with some clients (which includes them using my product). So far I've secured 3 different clients this way through the consultation method. I know it doesn't scale but it beats having 0 clients... So I guess a mix is good at least for the start.

Product, hands down! After all, you can’t spell "productivity" without "product." 😉

Product-based service

Always Products, at least I can convert my efforts into some infinite results, which is not the case with services.

I’d choose a product business. Once established, a product can reach a wide audience with minimal ongoing effort, making it easier to automate and sustain.

I'll say service because from what I see (where the people around me are freelances) it's very flexible and the best part is where they can have more time for themselves, family, hobby, etc

Products, include standard and customized products
Jai from Worksaga
Depends on the idea you are selling either product or service; should be appealing to the end users
Daniel Burns
We like to say, 'Why not both?' 🤷😂 We're a product-based company that also offers services, including ongoing support and maintenance.

Productised Service, anytime.

For me, a product business seems more sustainable in the long run. It allows for more passive income, which is a big draw.

@mukesh_kumar_das We talked about it here - https://youtu.be/6130FfDWXOI?si=... Patience is the game for products!

I’d pick a product business. Once it’s perfected, it can practically sell itself and reach a wider audience.

Honestly, it depends on the market. If there’s a strong demand for a specific service or product, that’s what I’d go for.

@cerca_hedgecock Could you share an experience if you ever had to choose between the two?
Neha
I will go with the product

Always Product, that's why I built varify.io
