Where can you go to learn more about building in public deeply?
There’s been an unprecedented interest on the topic of building in public lately.
So many founders and creators who’re embarking on new projects and businesses are warming up to the immense power and leverage that this modern technique offers to anyone with a social account.
However, trying to research and learn all about this by yourself without guidance can be overwhelming — especially if you’re a beginner.
I’ve personally helped 500+ founders cross this chasm of knowledge and deeply grasp the fundamentals of building in public in the last 4 years. Heck, I’ve created at least 1000+ tweets filled with tips and lessons myself.
In this edition, I’ll share my curated picks from a wide range of resources online (along with my favorite parts of my work) so it saves you 100s of hours of research time and gets you to your destination faster. So let’s begin.
