Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this course for?
Software Engineers who make cool products/projects and want to make money selling them.
Why is it so important to learn to market?
Not all engineers can do it.
But the best autonomy/job security today is based on being able to make and market. It's never been more important to be a part of the "creator economy".
Who are you, why should I listen to you?
My name is Woody Hayday. Software I've built has generated $1m+ in revenue, (15~ products launched). I've had two exits, most recently ZBS to Automattic, and I've mentored others who've successfully built software to replace their 9-5's.
You totally do not have to listen to me, but the autonomy gained from building software and selling it has been the most impactful thing I've done in my working life.
How long will it take me to complete the course?
This course is designed for software engineers to spend around 2 hours learning time. There are action points and study options (e.g. bonus lessons) which you may want to apply to your product/project which you could spend longer working on, but the core course should take around 2 hours.
Will this help me compete with larger businesses?
In brute-force dollar spend it will always be hard to compete on playing fields like Ads. This course is designed to help you get traction in your niche, to take actionable steps to move the needle.
Starting out it's probably not viable to attack a market the same way a multi-national does, but by shrewd marketing, one day you may well get there. Also, in today's "creator economy" the rules have changed somewhat. Authenticity counts, and you've got it, because you're the engineer behind the product!
What will I learn on this course?
My aim with this course is to give you the core context of marketing software products online. To give you the map which you can follow - and guide you to making your own systematic approach to marketing while building software which fits you. You can read the course outline above.
Is it expensive?
No. The course is $150.
Does the course come with email support or mentorship?
Nope. The course is self-guided; you can step through it at your own pace. You'll have access for life, but it's not viable to provide support to all students. Select mentorship may be available at a later date.
How long can I access the course for?
It's lifetime access. For as long as you want you can come back to the platform and re-watch the lessons. I will update the course and add new lessons as needed.

As engineers we tend to suck at marketing
Developing is easy. Making the world care can be hard. The good news it's a learnable skill and it's approachable in a rational way, just like software engineering.
