“…launching a side project may take less time and effort than writing a blog post, while returning an outcome that is equal to dozens of blog posts in most cases. ”
“Give Something Valuable Away in Order to Sell Something Related.”
“…a value that is related to our core business that we build on the side without losing our main focus.”
“It’s more likely you’ll use a good product many times than read a good blog post many times. This repeated usefulness is what makes software products so valuable.

“Side projects come with many other benefits. You can use them as a way to test new ideas instead of confusing your product offering by adding a new feature to your core product.”

“… this means focusing on creating awesome stuff that doesn’t even feel like marketing in the first place.
