Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it's completely free to join 2ndLife. There are no membership fees, subscription costs, or upfront payments required.

We operate on a revenue-sharing model, meaning we only make money when your products make money. This aligns our incentives with yours and ensures we're committed to helping you succeed.

We focus on three main product categories:

• MicroSaaS: Plugins and extensions for existing enterprise applications.
• MiniSaaS: Small applications including browser extensions, mobile apps, and productivity tools.
• SaaS Applications: Complete end-to-end applications that solve specific business problems.

We prioritize products with clear market demand, rapid development potential, and sustainable revenue models.

We look for developers with demonstrable experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Web application development (frontend and/or backend)
• Mobile app development
• API development and integration
• Browser extension development
• Enterprise software development

You don't need to be a senior developer, but you should be able to work independently and collaborate effectively with others. We value problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality.

When you join a project on 2ndLife, you'll sign a collaboration agreement that outlines intellectual property rights. Typically, the product's IP is owned by a newly formed entity in which you have an ownership stake proportional to your contribution.

This approach ensures that all contributors benefit from the product's success while protecting the collective investment in the product. You'll retain full rights to any proprietary tools or methods you develop during the process that aren't specific to the product itself.

Successful sales professionals on our platform typically have:

• Experience selling B2B software or technology solutions
• A strong understanding of the market and customer pain points
• The ability to identify valuable product opportunities
• Experience with customer acquisition strategies
• Good communication and collaboration skills

We particularly value sales professionals who have deep knowledge of specific industries or enterprise software ecosystems.

As a sales professional, your responsibilities typically include:

• Contributing to product strategy and feature prioritization
• Providing market insights and customer feedback
• Creating marketing materials and sales strategies
• Building an initial pipeline of potential customers
• Preparing for the product launch

Your expertise helps ensure we're building products that align with real market needs and have clear paths to revenue.

Our profit-sharing model is designed to fairly compensate all contributors based on their role and level of involvement. Here's how it typically breaks down:

• Developers: 30-45% of product revenue (varies based on complexity and contribution)
• Sales/Marketing: 30-45% of product revenue (varies based on market opportunity and sales difficulty)
• 2ndLife Platform: 20% of product revenue for providing infrastructure, support, and business services

The exact percentages are established at the beginning of each project and formalized in the collaboration agreement. Payments are made monthly based on actual revenue received.

Since there are no upfront costs to join 2ndLife or develop a product, you don't lose money if a product doesn't succeed commercially. The main investment is your time and expertise.

We try to minimize this risk by:

• Carefully evaluating all product ideas before development begins
• Using AI tools to accelerate development and reduce time investment
• Testing market demand early in the process
• Providing feedback and guidance throughout development

Additionally, even unsuccessful products become part of your portfolio and provide valuable experience that can benefit future projects.
