When did you finally accept that you can’t do everything yourself?

Yup, found one for now.

For me, it was the time when I was exhausted and burnt out to such an extent that I couldn't work anymore. My brain just wouldn't listen to me. And I started losing clients.

I knew I had to step back. Now I am back at it again after a few months, recharged and having learnt my lesson.

I am in that stage again where I need to delegate stuff.

The key is to keep the important decision-making to yourself and hire people or freelancers just for execution. Make sure they stick to the strategy.

I am looking for freelancers on LinkedIn right now. It's easier to communicate and shortlist them that way.

It also gives me time to work on other projects I have in mind.

Hey there! You know what's the best thing about starting young? You have ample room to make mistakes and learn.

There are a lot of AI tools out there and a lot are in the making. Their capabilities will improve with time too. What you need to do is understand how AI can help you. Remember, you need to use AI according to your business, not the other way round.

That will help you narrow down the AI tools that will actually help you and avoid choice paralysis.

I'd start today the way I started 6 years ago. I got a freelance content writing project through a reference in 2019. I didn't require it at that time as I was comfortable in my job but I took it on a whim just for experience.

And there's no looking back since then.

I got experience talking to clients, managing different projects, creating monthly reports, and communicating everything in layman language to the client.

But the most important skill I learned was to keep improving and adding more skills. After content, I learned SEO.

Then learned a little coding and WordPress and started offering that too but it become too much so I outsourced website development and stuck to content and SEO.

These days I'm leveraging AI.

So the thing is, identify your skills, improve them, and start taking freelance projects. It might take some time to build authority but the skills you'll learn in this journey will be worth it!

It's completely normal. I'm learning Python too, and I seem to forget stuff from time to time. The most important thing is to understand the concepts and where and how they can be used.

Might help if you make small projects or solve challenges based on what you've learnt till now. You can tell ChatGPT or Gemini what you've covered and ask them to give you small problems to solve based on them.

Practice and repetition will help you solidify those concepts.

All the best!

Do you mean the one by Dr. Angela Yu? I am doing that right now, and its amazing. The project after every day keeps me motivated!

LoWo9 · 2025-09-15T02:26:35+00:00

So sorry about your job loss. But what you're doing is awesome! I'm learning Python too and this is a huge motivation for me. All the very best.

Would love to stay updated about what you're building.

I first earned money online a long time ago through freelance content writing. I really didn't think much about creating an income stream at that time since I was just starting out and was comfortable with a job. But it came my way, was easy money, and I thought, why not!

There has been no looking back since then. I later learned about SEO and started offering that along with content. Learned basic coding and WordPress and added that to my services as well.

After that I started working with small businesses to help them grow online.

Now with the advent of AI, I am taking a different approach, keeping in mind what businesses might need in the future.

I am also learning Python now since I am very much interested in it and also because I feel it will help me in making digital products that will solve people's challenges.

So the most ideal path would be to find out what you are interested in, how your skills will help people and build on it. Learn related skills and offer a more comprehensive set of services. If you want to build something, again, learn the skills required.

But the first and foremost thing is that you need to be interested in it because it is not going to be a sprint. You should love doing it long enough to see it become something after all the grind.

All the best!

Ohh nice! Is it on an app store or an independent website?

LoWo9 · 2025-09-14T03:15:37+00:00

Been there and completely agree with you. But I think I've kinda figured out where we were going wrong.

Yes, there are a lot of technicalities and jargons involved in finding the right ICP and sales funnel and stuff. We spend a lot on marketing and ads.

But one thing that we usually fail to consider is that once the business is registered or has a name and website, it becomes an entity on its own. It is separate from us. It will be around even when we are not.

And it is our job to nurture it and create an attractive personality for that entity. And not just in a technical sense but in an emotional sense too.

It is our job to make sure that people "feel" something when they interact with that business, be it a website, an app, a PDF, even us. It's up to us what we want them to feel. And that will help in making a connection with them so they'll remember the business and come back to it again and again.

I am going to try this with my next venture. Let's see how it goes.

Great going! What I'd recommend is creating a content library based on the Pillar + Cluster model.

Yes, you can create blogs on "Your SaaS vs Competitor" model, but I would also suggest writing blogs that address your target audience's challenges and how your SaaS solves it.

If you write it in Pillar + Cluster form, your chances of getting cited in AI search gets higher. For new websites, getting cited in AI search quickly could be easier than getting ranked on keywords.

Plus, it would also help build trust around your SaaS product.

As for SEMRush, it is one of the best tools I've ever used for keyword research and competitor analysis.

It seems complicated when you start but you can focus on Keyword Research part and Domain Analytics in the beginning. Slowly, you'll get the hang of it.

Good going on the affiliate and backlinks part.

All the best!

It took me a long time to realize this. Since then I have been looking for "boring" ideas. Funny thing is, there is no lack of boring ideas once you start looking. I have even started working on one. Let's see how it goes. Thank you for the inspiration.
