The Side Project Accelerator Micro-Workshop

“If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to build theirs.”
– Tony A. Gaskins

If you’re into side projects – you want to be in this event!

After working on Hacking UI for 3 years, we learned that having a personal brand is essential to building an audience and creating a community, which are key ingredients for your side project’s success.

In this micro-workshop we’ll present and discuss our core philosophy for side projects and talk about mailing lists, content upgrades, audience-driven product development, the dotted line principle, the giver vs. taker approach, and more.

We will then share with you our 7 stage writing workflow and get you on your way to writing an article of your own.

This event will be part lecture / part hands-on experience, and by the end of the night you’ll be on your way to publishing your first article, and equipped with all of the tools to build your personal brand.

Now it’s your turn!  Sign up and start getting yourself out there!
