Coming here from The Drama? This post is a reply to the drama, not the beginning of it. Justin’s post came first, after his podcast panel with me and Patrick McKenzie. Then the nasty comment quoted below, in re: Justin’s post. Then this blog post. Yup, how boring and lame is that? DRAMA LLAMA DING […]

You wanna watch this interview with me on Mixergy. Especially if you’re a frustrated consultant (or freelancer). I talk turkey about how I went from being an overworked consultant (aka “wage slave” – ha!) to starting and running my own mini-product empire. if(!navigator.mimeTypes[‘application/x-shockwave-flash’])Wistia.VideoEmbed(‘wistia_298493′,600,290,{videoUrl:’http://mixergy-cdn.wistia.com/deliveries/e0324a56118798b80ddff6bb5a3d637c9fcce5e0.bin’,stillUrl:’http://mixergy-cdn.wistia.com/deliveries/f348fc17abd87dd3e1a994615fd79db6bebe606e.bin’,distilleryUrl:’http://distillery.wistia.com/x’,accountKey:’wistia-production_1621′,mediaId:’wistia-production_298493′,mediaDuration:3905.7}) var socialJQuery = jQuery.noConflict(true);new SocialBar(“wistia_298493_social”, {buttons:[“embed”,”stats”,”twitter”,”facebook”,”email”,”wistia”],url:”http://mixergy.com/amy-hoy-slash7-interview/”,title:”From “Kept Woman” To Ruler Of Her […]

You wanna know why I write all this stuff? Why I’m so happy to disclose my income and strategies? It’s pretty simple: It’s a fucking vacuum out there. Those of us trying to make real money, we’re stumbling around in the dark, alone. There are thousands and thousands of blog posts about venture capital, viral […]

Bootstrapping.
When you create a product that people love, you take on a special kind of responsibility. This is what happens when you don’t take that responsibility seriously: Mixin was a very cool little tool. Lots of people loved it. And now it’s dead, because its parents didn’t ensure that they gave their little product-baby what […]

Purpose.
It’s an age-old story: Boy meets passion, boy follows passion, passion turns out to be a mirage and/or actually a big pain in the ass, despite how rosy it may have seemed from a safe distance. (And, ladies? You’re just as susceptible to this as men. Don’t think I’m giving you a pass.) Let’s Talk […]

You shouldn’t feel comfortable with your meager little dreams. You should do a startup. You should chase the hockey stick. You should go viral. You should quit your job and work 90 hour weeks. You should be prepared to have everyone think you’re crazy. You should feel a manic, blind-eyed devotion to your Great Idea. […]

I object to publishers: the one service they have done me is to teach me to do without them. They combine commercial rascality with artistic touchiness and pettiness, without being either good businessmen or fine judges of literature. All that is necessary in the production of a book is an author and a bookseller, without […]

Hey, would you look at the time? It’s getting late. Just two months until the deeply introspective blog posts start comin’ hot & heavy. It’s still only mid-October, I know. Halloween decorations: in. Pensive rumination: out. But hey, I caught myself thinking last night, I’ve finally caught up with the bookkeeping (thanks, Jess!), and I’m, […]
