Laura talks about how she grew her large audience back in the day and how one blog post (A Simple Web Developer’s Color Guide) for Smashing Magazine triggered a series of events that changed everything.
Nathan talks about how he was thrown into freelance life thanks to the 2008 crash and later went on to build Nusii, a proposal SaaS for design agencies. His MVP cost $3000 and was awful!
One thing that doesn't seem to have changed is that content still seems to rule when it comes to building a business. Both Laura and Nathan used content from the start.
Sometimes being careful doesn't pay...at least in the case of Nathan who built Nusii even though all of his customer development interviewees told him they wouldn't use it!
What happened to forums, comment sections on blogs and design feedback sites?
