How validated was the side project when you bought it? Were there already paying customers? What kind of due diligence did you do in order to find out if the project was worth buying?

Yes it was validated and had like 7-8 paying customers. The guy who sold the project was an excellent content marketer which really helped early on as I had no clue how to market :).

How did he do the marketing? Was it blog posts or YouTube videos or something else?
