[1] I wrote more about my experience in my ebook - https://gum.co/side-project
I agree, I also despise books that claim to take you from 0 to 100 in no time and/or teach you how to make lots of money.
In the description I clearly state that I'm sharing my personal story, which consists of practical advice, I don't make any promises. Even the book title doesn't promise anything, or says "How to..", but rather encourages you to start a side-project / side-hustle.
The goal of this book was to share my experience of building, running and selling a small side-project. So far I got good reviews and people whom I asked for feedback have clearly said that they enjoyed my book and would recommend :)
[1] Table-of-contents:
1. Introduction 2. Background - My 1st online endeavor and takeaways - My 2nd online endeavor and takeaways - From e-commerce to software side-projects - Idea 3. Building - Technology - Build fast - Launch like a boss 4. Growing - Target market - Organic marketing - It's what you give - Monetization attempts 5. Selling - Should I sell - Everything's got a price - How to sell - Logistics 6. Post-acquisition
I wrote a short and to-the-point book about my "adventure" of finding an interesting idea for a side-project (hence the name of the book), building upon this idea, marketing the project (while learning marketing) and eventually selling it to another entrepreneur (as a first "acquisition" experience).
The book entails interesting bits of information as I you read along this journey that took me 3 months from ideation to acquisiton.
I would love to hear your feedback about it! :)
