Enroll now MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR Caught in the wild, working while camping and living the Indie Life. (Yes, I need to clean my screen!) I'm Antoine van der Lee, a former Staff iOS Engineer at WeTransfer who transitioned to full-time Indie Developer in March 2024. I've transitioned multiple side projects into six-figure revenues and earned recognition in the Swift community through my blog, SwiftLee, and my developer tool, RocketSim. Balancing a full-time role at WeTransfer with parenthood, I've developed strategies to nurture side projects alongside family, friends, and sports. I'm thrilled to share my insights and help you transform your passion into a thriving Indie career! LET’S KEEP IN TOUCH Receive the latest updates on new episodes.

Check your inbox to confirm your subscription FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHY CHOOSE TO TRANSITION TO INDIE FROM A SIDE PROJECT RATHER THAN GOING FULL-TIME IMMEDIATELY? Transitioning to Indie immediately can be risky. If your project(s) don't succeed, you might struggle to meet financial obligations. By optimizing your side project for passive income first, you can mitigate these risks and begin your journey with a stable income. There are more reasons, like investing income until going Indie, but you'll learn those details in the course. CAN I EXPECT MORE EPISODES TO BE ADDED? Certainly! The current course outline is based on my experience, and I aim to add more content inspired by questions and feedback. IS THIS COURSE FOR APP DEVELOPERS ONLY? No, this course is designed for anyone aspiring to go Indie, whether you're a developer, designer, or another type of creative. I'M NOT KEEN ON COURSES AND TEND TO LOSE FOCUS EASILY. SHOULD I STILL CONSIDER THIS COURSE? Absolutely. This course is designed with flexibility in mind—you can pick and choose episodes independently. Each episode is kept under 10 minutes, allowing you to make meaningful progress even with limited time. * © SwiftLee Courses 2024 * SwiftLee * SwiftLee Weekly * RocketSim * Twitter * LinkedIn * Terms of Use * Privacy Policy Completed Incomplete Incomplete disabled
