Who has time to write documentation when clients still haven’t paid the last invoice? Write docs after you’re sure the bank transfer cleared. Until then, send them a screenshot of your API and call it “self-discovery mode.” Bonus tip: charge extra for “comprehensive documentation delivery.” Documentation is the noble practice of explaining decisions you don’tContinue reading “Document Later, Invoice Now”

Meetings as a Service (MaaS)
You’ve heard of SaaS, PaaS, IaaS — but have you tried MaaS? It’s the hottest trend: selling meetings as a service. Book an hour, talk about nothing, and invoice for “strategic alignment.”Developers hate meetings, but MDD loves them — because nothing generates revenue like charging for time you’d waste anyway. Meetings have long been treatedContinue reading “Meetings as a Service (MaaS)”
Machine learning all the things
Buzzwords If you are a developer, a random tech interested person or you don’t have anything to do with tech, you must have heard phrase machine learning many many times in past few years. You can read about it on blogs, in newspapers, on TV and even when going to the supermarket. It looks likeContinue reading “Machine learning all the things”

You If you are a solo consultant or an agency with more people, and you are selling some services to clients, you want to sell them for as much money as possible. Why?

Remove ad banners and give real value to customers
Just put ads When you hear people talk about monetization for their products, you always hear them talking about ads. It is the easiest way to “solve” monetization problems. But let’s be honest, when was the last time you saw an ad that you liked or even clicked on? I mean, ads can sometimes showContinue reading “Remove ad banners and give real value to customers”
Use your own framework or library and they will always need you
Frameworks and libraries frameworks everywhere We should start counting how many times we say the word framework or library every day. They are one of the most popular (but serious) development buzzwords. There are lots and lots of frameworks and libraries. There is a framework or library for every single thing that you can imagine.Continue reading “Use your own framework or library and they will always need you”
Don’t make bugs, make money!
Bugs, don’t make them As we have already said in “Make bugs, make money!” post, bugs are a normal thing. In that post, we talked about why you should write and make bugs. Now we will talk why you should not make bugs. MDD is for everybody and we should give everybody a chance toContinue reading “Don’t make bugs, make money!”
Make bugs, make money!
Bugs, bugs everywhere Bugs are a normal thing, you have them and get them every day. Ok, if you write perfect code (and you should not for various reasons) you will not get them. You need to ask yourselves, are bugs a bad or a good thing? 🙂 They are both good and bad, andContinue reading “Make bugs, make money!”
Write once, sell anywhere
If you take a look at our Manifest, you can see that we mention the code to revenue ratio. So our goal is to get as much revenue as possible by writing as little code as possible. That is why we think that you should write once, sell anywhere. You can sell it on multipleContinue reading “Write once, sell anywhere”
Make IAPs not apps
These days everything and everybody wants, needs and makes an app. Stop doing that and focus on making IAPs (in-app purchases), not apps. By focusing and making more IAPs your code to revenue ratio will start getting better and better. Writing less code, and getting more revenue, that has MDD written all over it! ByContinue reading “Make IAPs not apps”
