🛑 Time to say goodbye...

UX Remotely is shutting down.

• Is it sad and frustrating? ✅ Yes.
• Have I brought value to some people? ✅ Yes.
• Have I learned something new? ✅ Yes.
• Have I made money? ❌ Tiny bit.

This project (which I launched in January 2024) has shown promising initial traction but has plateaued very quickly.

The result of this experiment made me realize that the market size for this target audience is too niche and not sufficient to bring enough return on the time/money investment.

This project was scratching my own itch.

But it is not enough to become a business 😔

I will write a post-mortem on my main substack covering my entrepreneurship journey. Subscribe if you are into entrepreneurship:

Coming next…

I’ve been thinking a lot in the last few months. Mostly, around my ikigai (Wiki →) and finding/clarifying my purpose in life. I believe I found my life’s task -

… education!

For the next few years, I plan to focus primarily on teaching people who can’t code how to become entrepreneurs. This has been one of my core beliefs that was not jiving well with the UX Remotely value proposition.

I believe many more people should become independent from employment and become entrepreneurs.

I have a lot of ideas and will be sharing an announcement with my next steps in September.

Talk to you soon, my friends.

Cheers to UX Remotely ending 🥃
