Free checklist

The introvert's no-camera starter.

A one-page checklist for starting an online business when you will not get on camera. I wrote it because I stalled on exactly that in 2016. I'm Dave, a software lead in the UK, and I'm starting again in writing.

Free, by email. Unsubscribe any time. No filming.

You'll use it to

It will not promise you an income, ask you to perform for an algorithm, or do the work for you. Most people who try this sort of thing earn little or nothing without sustained effort. The checklist says that too.

What's inside

Ten short sections. Tick a box only when the thing exists, not when you've thought about it.

  1. Write down the constraint
  2. Name one person
  3. Four lines of your story
  4. One home, three jobs
  5. One useful thing you can finish
  6. Ask for the email plainly
  7. Say what it really takes
  8. Publish, then show three people
  9. One quiet traffic habit
  10. A twenty-minute Friday review

Where should I send it?

First name and email. I'll send the checklist, and the occasional note about what I'm building. That's all this form is for.

Your first name, email and the time you opted in are stored for me by EmailOctopus. The box starts unticked, and the form won't send without it. Read the privacy notice.
