JUST IN: Elon Musk says there is "no need" to save money because universal high income is coming

I made $10k from my Dev Job. I made $10k Freelancing. I made $10k selling an eBook. I made $10k selling a Course. I made $10k building a B2C SaaS. I made $10k selling a B2C SaaS. I made $10k from Ads. I made $10k from Sponsorships. I made $10k Consulting. Proof that you can make money in SO many ways. You don’t need a perfect idea. You need to start and not quit.

Build cool shit with cool people

i’m convinced you can get good at anything if you just do it enough. exhibit a: - I sucked at math → became a cs major at harvey mudd - terrible runner my whole life → just finished an ultramarathon - too shy to call & order pizza → now I host events - too homesick as a kid for sleepovers → moved across the country & now solo-travel across the world

💰Startup revenue vs Twitter followers! Why am I off the charts and on here 4 times?😲 15 Reasons I'd say. (Wrote this first then added the number. Who the fuck knew it would be 15?) 😅 Here goes: 1. I build what people already buy. (#1 thing. You can honestly stop reading here) 2. I don't do passion projects 3. I solve really annoying real world problems 4. I do things people hate doing for themselves. 5. I don't try to invent new markets. 6. I don't ideate projects and then look for money/vcs/investors. I look at what money I have and build projects that match that. First winning project I invested $450 (All I had). 7. If I'm having too much fun. It's probably the wrong project. People don't pay you to have fun, but they'll pay you you everything in their wallet to clear a backed up toilet at midnight. 8. I don't "validate" projects. If people are making money doing it. I go do that. The more people the better. (Counterintuitive for the "market is saturated peeps") 9. I don't reinvent a single wheel. If it's lawncare, the website is going to be green. The end. 10. I keep my ego out of it. I don's care if it's pretty for me. Or how sweet the logo is. Will it drive sales? 11. I have no babies in business. If it's not making money in 30-60 days of launch. Good fucking riddance. 12. I build communities around projects. Facebook group, reddit, circle...doesn't really matter. 13. I build transparently. Everybody will steal your shit though. But the sun will still rise in the morning, so meh. 14. I remind myself that most of the world have never heard of Bolt, Claude, SaaS. They are just regular people going about their regular lives spending money on regular stuff with regular every day concerns. 15. I realized the single best markets are ones where people solve real world problems with really convenient tech. Think Uber. They didn't invent taxis. They just made it so anyone could be a taxi. convertlabs.io/cohort does that for home services. 16. I lied. I have more than 15. Thought of more shit... I use recurring revenue with short trial. Otherwise folks will free tier you to death, and sign up again to murder your corpse. 17. I didn't quit my job until I proved it out. Quit when you prove it. Otherwise health/dental insurance will have you back on ramen. 🍜 18. I can't code. But didn't waste my time having to start from scratch. I built no code projects first, got money, hired developers to build more code intensive projects later. 19. I mentioned don't reinvent the wheel already but fuck it I'll mention again. It's that important (Plus I'm trying to get to a clean 20) 20. I realized getting to your first win, will probably take a couple failures. For me it was fail, fail, fail, fail, win, fail, win, win win. I got better with every failure and now the wins come a little easier (Still hard as fuck though.) So could as well launch and get those failures out the way. The end. Thanks for reading. Man follow me. I'm trying to get to the right of the graph either way, after all this talk. 😅 x.com/rohangilkes
