Launching & Growing a SaaS after 2 Years of Development

An interview with founder of Visual Sitemaps

🎉 Hey Failories! It's Nico here.

January was an okay month for Failory. Here's a monthly report I wrote yesterday - I think some of you'll enjoy it.

I've started the habit of writing every day on my personal site, which I built and launched this week (using Notion and Super). I might be sharing some of my daily posts in the newsletter as well.

As for now, I think you may find interesting this one, where I talk about Failory's 2021 goals, and this one, where I go over the 5 projects that will help me achieve those goals.

This newsletter is sponsored by Flippa, my go-to marketplace for selling and buying businesses, and Vidico, which continues to offer a free personalized video script for your startup.
