#183 – How a Solo Founder Got to $1M in Revenue with Chris Oliver of GoRails

Chris Oliver (@excid3) is a solo founder who recently passed $1M in revenue from his suite of projects targeted at Rails developers. He's had a wild journey, from being so broke he had to get a job, to getting to the point where he was literally living the 4-hour workweek while making a full-time salary. In this episode, Chris and I discuss the tradeoffs of different indie hacker business models, the right path for building and selling to an audience, and how to use combinations to come up with unique ideas.GoRails, Chris' Ruby on Rails screencasting business: https://gorails.comJumpstart, Chris' pre-built features for Rails apps: https://jumpstartrails.comHatchBox, Chris' SaaS to build, deploy, and manage Rails apps: https://www.hatchbox.ioFollow Chris on Twitter: https://twitter.com/excid3
