I was a product manager at a small-medium SaaS company. 3 months ago, I got laid off because the (0 to 1) product I was leading (AI enabled influencer marketing tool) wasn't working out, and the company was running low on cash to continue funding it.
It was a serious punch in the gut, mainly because I was the main driver of that product and felt responsible for its failure and my teammates' layoffs.
But after getting past that, I started getting excited about starting my own projects with my new found time. I've been following the developments in AI closely, playing with it, using it at work etc. I saw that there's a lot of cool stuff that you can do now that wasn't feasible just 1 year ago and so i've been itching to get more hands-on with it. Now's the time I guess!

TIMELINE:
$1132 in 2 months is not much. Hopefully I can figure out how to make this grow exponentially. Will need to push on the distribution front.
Let me know if you guys have any ideas for getting more traffic!
I'm planning to give SEO a shot (blog posts, get backlinks etc) but I'm really new to it. Any tips?
