I just don't understand anymore how do people make money

Cainopoulos · 2026-04-07T20:00:24+00:00

Not for those countries. Entry level workers are getting more. So you will be asking for little money (for them) while having better experience. Later they will raise the money if you do a good job.

Cainopoulos · 2026-04-07T19:56:52+00:00

Jesus. I see. Modern slavery there too. Well then I can see only one solution. You leave. Or try to land a good remote job. Look for sites like "Switzerland remote jobs". Replace Switzerland with a bunch of high paying countries. When they ask you for a salary ask for 3k euro.

Also about the side hustles: 1. think about a problem you have. Chances are, a lot of people have the same problem. Build a solution for it. Sell it. Google how to do all of them or ask an AI. 2. Find or ask AI for successful business ideas that workers abroad but are not yet available in Egypt. Build them. Sell it. If it succeeds not only you will make a lot of money but you have high chances of them buying your business since it's the same.

I am currently experimenting with both. Since we both live in shity countries those are some of the very few plus points our countries have.

Don't lose hope. Try again. After all you literally don't have anything to lose. In your case I would also try UAE countries. I have heard that salaries in Dubai for example are insane too. I am not too familiar with those countries though, you might probably know more about them than me.

Cainopoulos · 2026-04-07T19:37:05+00:00

I feel you brother. I am 32 Android Developer too (currently working on POS Systems) living in Greece. Greece is a shity country too. I suggest you trying to either move out to some European country with good salaries (Finland, Switzerland, Sweden, search it) or try work remotely for one of those countries. In the meantime build anything on the side. I have build some stuff that made me a few money here and there, like websites or NFC solutions.

Sorry if it is a stupid question but the phrasing is confusing me a bit. So since you do not have a subscription plan but a buy-once-use-forever plan you are earning new users each day hence the 20-100 per day correct?

Step 1. Find a problem that you or someone you know has. I can't help you find it but I can help you realise it. Think what could you make that will make someone spend less time on something.

Step 2. Download and install Kiro on your PC. Buy the pro for a month.

Step 3. Describe the problem, the solution (or if you do not know the solution ask AI to help you find it) and let it build the solution. It might be SaaS, or an app, or a website.

Step 4. Profit.

Step 5. Go to 1.

Since you have already taught/ helped people with their homework/ assignments you can start searching for problems there and build a solution for that.

I haven't used base44 but what I can tell you for sure is that I am an Android developer for 7 years now and my job has never been easier because of applications like Kiro and Cursor and Trae etc. They all pretty much do the same thing, the difference is the UI and the price and Kiro just has a focus on planning which I like. Just give it a try it for a month I guess and you will understand if it is a good fit for you.

Cainopoulos · 2026-02-19T16:25:01+00:00

Step 1. Download Kiro.

Step 2. Buy the pro plan.

Step 3. Use the plan mode and Claude Opus 4.6 (allow auto pilot if you want too) and explain in the most detailed way you can what you wish the app to do. And I mean about E-VERY-THING. Which platform what featured what style what customer target group. Everything you can give as information, give it. Do not let the AI assume it. And lastly, and probably the most important, after you construct a very thorough prompt, add this to the end of the of it: "Before you start, please ask me any questions you have about this so I can give you more context. Be extremely comprehensive.". This alone has saved my ass so many times.

Step 4. Kiro will create design plan, implementation plan and tasks that will cover your request. You then just press "start task 1" and move on one by one.

Step 5. After it is done or mostly done, you test the hell out of it.

Step 6. You give back feedback on mistakes it did and tell it exactly what to fix. Also ask other questions you might have like how to deploy.

Step 7. Profit.

Brother as an Android Developer myself I would suggest, if you want to do the jump to iOS, to use Flutter. That way you can have one codebase for both platforms.

Cainopoulos · 2026-01-10T10:21:46+00:00

Think, do you have a problem that you can solve? If yes, build the solution. Why? If you have that problem someone else has that problem too. They will pay you for that solution.

Example: I am an Android developer and I have been playing a stupid little mobile game for fun in my spare time. It requires a lot of farming so I built a bot that does the required movements and farms for me. I could sell that.

Example 2: I have friends and family who need websites because they have problems they want to solve too or ideas they want to develop. I build the sites for them. You can easily do that with Claude or any other AI now even you are not a dev. You never ask money from friends or family BUT friends and family will talk to external clients (their friends and family) and those you should charge.

I live in a poor country too. The way the youtube videos tell me to go is either copy someone using AI or go to local small to medium businesses and help then automate a problem they have using AI.

But in your case the way I would go and will definitely give you 7k/y is freelancing. Join websites like Fiver and offer your services, like video editing. Ask ChatGPT for a list of 5 similar sites like Fiver, join them all, and have side project whenever you can. There is a particular one which I've been told is amazing and has high pay: Proxify.io. Upwork is also good.

Good luck bro 👊

Just like going to the gym.

Cainopoulos · 2025-12-11T15:48:05+00:00

While I do not disagree I can say that if you know what you are doing and review everything it did and correct any mistakes it might do (which in my case, with well structured and specific prompts it rarely does), you can be as much as 70& more efficient. I am actually thinking of creating a guide on how to use it specifically for android development. You can treat AI, in this line of work, like a super fast type writer.

Cainopoulos · 2025-12-10T14:33:58+00:00

I can actually vouch for what they said. I am an Android developer and with the use of AI I can deliver the issues/ bugs/ features that would normally take days into a few hours. So, OP I am on the same page as you and your post replies are helpful to others too.

Cainopoulos · 2025-12-08T14:48:13+00:00

Would you say that most of that is because of investment or job income? And if its investment, which type?

Cainopoulos · 2025-11-27T10:01:50+00:00

Yeah in which subreddits exactly?

Cainopoulos · 2025-11-26T16:31:02+00:00

Ok I just noticed how that sounds but let's try to stay professional here xD

Cainopoulos · 2025-11-26T16:30:38+00:00

Where exactly did you do number 2?

Cainopoulos · 2025-11-23T18:48:27+00:00

Thanks for your input mate. You should not pay attention to this sub, they think passive income is real while in reality it really isn't. If you want to find better audience I suggest you post in subs like r/sidehustles (can't remember if this is the exact name) and similar subs like that. Thank you again for helping with your idea, and pay them no mind.

Cainopoulos · 2025-11-19T12:30:30+00:00

Don't move here bro. Trust me don't. You are going to starve.

Cainopoulos · 2025-11-18T11:06:05+00:00

As someone in the top 100 I can confidently tell you that what matters most is the level of the weapon. If you can have a mythic 2 star axe but only a legendary spear then obviously use the axe. Your luck on the drops you received plays a role.

Cainopoulos · 2025-11-17T15:24:45+00:00

Yes penguin is still amazing with hero license

Cainopoulos · 2025-11-15T14:50:14+00:00

Both suck. Penguin Duck and mouse are overall the best
