Entreprogrammers Episode 13 HuBoard

HuBoard creator, Ryan Rauh from Austin, Texas, is

featured guest of The Entreprogrammers Podcast with John, Derick and Josh. Ryantalks about how long it took him to develop HuBoard which is “instant projectmanagement for GitHub repositories.”

Ryan also gets into legal issues that he had to address

in his HuBoard journey; he tells a rather humorous story about the first lawyerhe approached regarding HuBoard legalities. It’s a small world, folks. ThenDerick talks numbers, declaring upswing in his WatchMeCode.net subscriptions.

The discussion goes to the advantages of Derick’s

current entrepreneurial marketing efforts. He tells all with specifics on hiscapital gains which proves that what the Entreprogrammers do works in themarketing arena.

John recommends shooting for a $5,000 monthly base

income; incidentally, so does Derick, who has just revealed having a greatmonth in terms of income – excellent numbers. Focus of the discussion goes backto Ryan who itemizes his reinvestment into his HuBoard.com efforts and thecost and worth of investing in a good Freelance Designer.

Ryan gives details about the designer, his worth in Ryan’s

venture and the importance of reinvestment. The group debates the 80-20; andin a surprising move, Ryan tells that he has put little to nothing into themarketing of HuBoard.com, yet goes on to report 69 sign-ups for this month.

The reaction: “Wow!” But Ryan is somewhat baffled as to

this “grass-roots” growth. How is this happening? And Josh talks about his experienceswith GitHub and what a difference HuBoard would make in “having everything inone place.”

Josh says, “It’s spreading by the word of mouth.” Suddenly,

it appears that programmers have the same problem as musicians; they don’t liketo indulge in self-promotion. The Entreprogrammers discuss their philosophy inregards to this somewhat awkward behavior when someone has toot her/his own horn.
