thePlus.so has been up for 3 years in total! Its previous name was NotionPlus.dev. I even registered the NotionPlus.dev domain for 3 years when I bought it.
I had used the "-zel" suffix before as well. For example, Girisimzel.com. It has been around for 7 years in total.
On Creatorzel.com too, as long as customers take ownership of the product, I will keep it standing for years, as far as my strength allows. I have done this before. You can see it above.
I am not a new entrepreneur. I have dedicated my whole life to entrepreneurship. I have been actively building since I was 12. So far, 15 years have passed. Counting the projects I made as a child, I have built 600 projects in total. I learned 600 lessons. I stopped counting while I was at university. It has been 8 years since I graduated from university.
I am also a creator myself. My YouTube channel has 17 thousand subscribers. It has more than 2 million views. I have published 500 videos. Although I have focused more on product development lately, I opened this channel in 2015. I still share a video from time to time.
Why Notion?
Because my previous product was thePlus.so. It was a Notion widget tool. Notion has improved itself quite a lot lately. The only thing is, I do not like the way they grow, because they do not give their community the value it deserves. (Instead of sentences like "We thank our community that built the xxx tool", they share everything as if they had come up with it all themselves. The community comes up with the innovation. Notion gets the applause. I do not like this behavior. And I told them so too, while I was removing the "Notion" part of the NotionPlus.dev domain and moving to thePlus.so.) But other than that, it is a solid tool.
Why Pinterest?
There are many reasons for this. But the main one is that I like Pinterest. I think it is quite unusual compared to other networks. I have also read its startup story many times. It is very inspiring. I wanted to be a part of this thing, one way or another. Now I am here. :)
