Side projects make you wear many hats.
If you're developing apps as part of a team, you're often mostly focused on code architecture and building new features. However, you'll likely wear many hats if you're an Indie developer working on a side project.
Last week, I started looking into Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Drip campaigns, win-back campaigns, and other marketing techniques. It's a whole new journey for me to explore, with many opportunities for product growth.
What I like most is that this journey leads me to challenge colleagues I would otherwise not challenge. WeTransfer also benefits from win-back campaigns, so why not try and see if we can implement Promotional Offers?
As engineers, stepping outside of our domain and exploring other aspects of product development can be valuable. Combining engineering knowledge with product improvements allows you to validate idea feasibility in ways other product-focused colleagues might be unable to. I'm sure it will create a positive impression of your pro-activeness & performance.
Lastly, I'm looking forward to next week as I'll attend the
Do iOS conference in Amsterdam, both workshop and conference days. If you're around, make sure to say hi!
Enjoy this week's SwiftLee Weekly!
