Hey 👋 I love building simple side projects that provide value to people. At the same time, I’m not a fan of offering free stuff if you have nothing to sell. So what I tried in the past is charging a little money for access to my side projects like Newsletter Spy or Product Explorer. This worked OK. But I was never able to grow them to a point where they generated significant revenue. It became apparent that I had to change my approach to reach the next level in the entrepreneur game. I stopped launching side project. But now that I'm running a successful business that generates sufficient revenue, I can build useful tools and make them freely available. So I completely rebuilt Product Explorer and launched it today, this time charging $0. All support and feedback is appreciated! Jakob PS: Some of you might remember that I sold Product Explorer to Andrew Gazdecki a while ago. He recently approached and asked me if I wanted to take the project over again since he’s not able to properly maintain it. I happily said yes!

This is amazing! Thank you for making this free and congrats on the launch!! 🚀🚀

Congrats!!

Just came here after reading your newsletter, @jakob_greenfeld Love the evolution in your thinking and graciously sharing it in public. Appreciate the share!

Congrats on the launch 🎉 I'm so glad I found your product. It will be quite helpful for my current research 👌

Thanks for your work! And awesome to see that you are doing so well with https://www.damngoodleads.com/# that you can ship these projects for free. :)

Amazing! It's a great idea! Congratulations on the launch Jakob! 😃👏🥳 Also biiig like for your honest and nice description! 😊💪✨

So cool 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

It sounds like an amazing product with lots of great features. I'm sure it will become a great asset to many organizations. Best of luck @jakob_greenfeld

Fantastic approach @jakob_greenfeld! I also feel like trying to squeeze profit from any random side project can take away all the fun from it, and then at some point, I stop. It happened with my personal blog and newsletter, and I was thinking about focusing on revenue on one key project that can fund the rest of my ventures. Happy to see it works for you! Congrats and thank you! I can't wait to dig into this database. 🤓

I think your product will be very useful for makers. Thx!
