Here are the products I've planned & designed, which sell well:

1. Freckle

2. JavaScript Performance Rocks

3. Various JavaScript workshops

4. my entrepreneurship class (30x500)

And, by the end of June, we'll be launching our 2nd SaaS, Charm, which is much larger & took a longer time to develop (while I was fighting undiagnosed chronic fatigue syndrome), and we've already got people chomping at the bit to sign up and pay us for it. After that, we're creating self-study versions of our JS workshops.

If you're going to employ snarky skepticism, you might as well do your research first!

Great, I'm strong believer in diversification. But you haven't launched 4 successful SaaS, and whilst I wish you luck with Charm, it's a bit cheeky to suggest success before success has been achieved!

We have big companies just chomping at the bit to pay us - their words, "when can we pay you?" and our beta testers are ecstatic. We have 2000 people on our advance notice list. I think it's safe to say that it is going to go very well for us indeed.

(That's not to say we won't have technical or growing pains. I'm sure we will. That's part of the reason we haven't launched yet -- that, and my chronic fatigue making me useless for weeks on end without warning.)
