    14:37 the more content, product, cold emails you send - the more lucky you’re gonna get
    15:30 new product idea came from a business problem he had
    17:10 second time they leveraged an existing audience
    20:00 building SEO keywords and getting creative with keywords
    23:00 driving leads with the content
    24:30 updating content is underestimated for SEO
    24:50 manual outreach and guest posting is the promo for new articles. Which gets backlinks and ranking ability.
    26:00 always double down on what’s working
    27:00 it’s a long game that we’re playing
    37:30 start as small as possible, launch as quick as possible. Work your way up.
    39:00 hiring based on resources and pain level
    40:00 SaaS is extremely predictable and can be projected out. Hiring becomes easier in this case.
    41:20 not wanting to work on a stock photo site. Going where the fun and your passion is.
    43:00 guest posting on blogs wasn’t for signups. It was to link back and help to rank blog posts on his own site with good search volume

    Great talk! I love how he shows the lineage of their organic growth.
    And evolving by pivoting it's really more frequent than we think.
    My partner and I started a lifestyle website some ten years back, narrowed it down to a niche website for the fitness program industry, and then developed our own fitness Video on Demand platform. Few years down the line, and we are now bootstrapping a web-platform for education and entertainment for school age children which includes meditation, fitness videos, chess, collectible cards, stories, and many other modules. We wouldn't be in this project without the seemingly unrelated things at the start.

    Why does he say "up and to the right" when talking about increased users or revenue timeline? A timeline by default goes to the right so isn't it enough to say "up"? Or am I missing something?
