Dear IC Fam,
We turn 2 next Sunday.
On this occasion, we have a little favour to ask. We are looking to collaborate with colleges for organizing case-study and quiz competitions.
If your college has a cell/student club which would be interested, please reach out.
Do side projects matter? | Edition 85
There was a time in the past when scouting for a tech person to help you convert an idea to reality was insanely time consuming and hard. Not anymore.
Thanks to the No Code Revolution, which took the Internet junta by storm ; we have several tools/softwares that require little to no knowledge of coding (i.e software development).
Unlike tech projects however, no-code projects take lesser time to build. For most non-tech projects, the content curation matters the most.
Getting started
Organizing ideas is the first step. A quick Google search for looking up if a project like this already exists is really helpful, because non-tech projects are easier to replicate, specially if you don’t have a lot of content in the first version.
Building
It can be a blog, website, app or even a YouTube channel. Choosing your channel is important as you have to gauge where the target audience who may find value from your project mostly ‘dwell’.
For example, if you are a writer, having a blog/website is a must. If you are creating a tool that can solve a problem, having a functional app is of more priority. In short, the face of your project should communicate what it can do.
If a glance of 10 seconds at your blog/website/YouTube channel/landing page doesn’t clearly convey what your project is capable of doing, it’s time to improve it.
Wondering how to get started?
It’s very simple and takes a few minutes to set up. Check out No Code Tools to get a curated list of tools and pick one and just start building!
