The only question: are people paying?

my journey of YouTube what I have realized is when I tried to do that it was kind of a negative thing for all those people who were depending on me okay hey he's creating content I couldn't do that because I was not making money from it so the way I think you can understand that hey why I should charge is only if you charge you'll be able to prioritize enough to actually do the thing you want to right I mean like even if you are doing for NGOs always keep in mind that I have 10 paid customer to one inch you have some sort of thinking hey I want to do that but there's nothing in the you know I can do but the point is just I was too much okay hey I have seen what have not worked so I'll just put the buy button now I'll do nothing else put more buy buttons in front of people until people start paying so I guess are you charging for your product make the payment pay gateway work and make sure that is the first thing people start watching whenever they sign up send them to that payment pay even if you have a free plan they can go there but at least have the payment option I'm saying this because I have experienced this like you're building so much and you're like you're putting so much effort into it all of that effort will go to waste if people don't pay keep in mind because you'll not be able to pursue this for a very long time if you don't generate revenue so if you feel this product is actually going to make positive impact start charging and if you face any of the payment or gateway or hundred different things which will come to your mind there's always solution to that just figure out some simplest way so that you can accept money for my friend for example the Instagram I suggested my CA he got very confused he was like dude I know I'm not a developer I want to you know charge my clients when they reach out to me can you like help me how to make website I was like why do you need a website you just give them your UPI so when you the auto DM works just tell them hey here's my UPI do pay this amount and what's up me on this screenshot I'll give you the whatever the point is it worked out on the same day he was able to generate four to five thousand rupees which would not happen if he would have it being started spending more time in the building hey I'll build a website then I'll add a video you know you're trying to get into this loop very just creating forget about everything today your goal should be just make that payment thing work and all the people you have the list you have people you have been using let them know that now we have a paid option you can opt into this new one okay okay so answering the first question the products which I have been like blood web app slack notify these kind of products I think it's been years since I have touched their code for blood web app it would be two to three years more and has generated monthly more than thirty thousand rupees at least so now how I divide it's basically like this very simple my first focus my problem is actually on the opposite side where I am I get this shiny object syndrome I try to build a lot of things so even today I spend a lot of time building new new products and I don't have like a specific type of divide but the only time when I work on the previous product is when I get an email of it not working or someone facing some issues I'll quickly just check it out other than that I don't go and update because the thing is like those products didn't have scale which I want like slack notify it's just a simple app which helps you send a slack message when a Google form summation happens what else can I add it's just done done for it so I don't work much on it I only work when there's like an email that hey this is no because I so what I realize is now at this position I have another product which is converting much better every single second which I can spend there versus here I should spend here because I'll have a better conversion I'll have growth better here so as soon as MagicSlides started growing I started focusing more and more towards it so major of the times on main product I still have a 10 20 percent of time where I try to explore new products even if I am not able to launch it or some things are same facing the issues where I'm like hey I should optimize this and do this kind of things but yeah I still spend 10 20 percent times on new 80 percent of the time on the this main product and then around like 60 percent on the main product 70 and then rest of the time on old products they don't generate the major revenue that's why no not a big issue I have a private limited company actually so as I said with lifetime deal itself I was able to scale to $10,000 then I had get a call with my CA is like hey if you cross 20 lakh you should get a GST I was like
