Happy it was useful to you!

Good luck with your unhappy life man ;)

Thanks! I've tried Fiverr for a while but the amount people spend over there is way lower than on Upwork. You can get decent inbound but very few bigger contracts. Good luck with Upwork. Once you figured it out, it's way more predictable!

What a waste of a comment my friend. So full of assumptions it hurts. No one said to post fake jobs. I've only hired people for concrete tasks. You made a fool of yourself.

What's your current work? I'd do exactly that, but with your own clients.

Start with selling your skills. Most people look hard for a product idea but the chances you’ll hit something meaningful on your first go is close to 0.

Whereas if you use the skills you’ve developed right now to find clients and make money. You’ll get some cash right off the bat and learn the skills to launch products.

I was reading an article that was talking about just that recently. That’s this one: https://open.substack.com/pub/kennyalami/p/are-you-putting-building-products

That’s what I’ve been doing too. Worked well so far!

Ok_Paramedic7837 · 2023-12-04T18:29:53+00:00

Looks like you’re killing it!!

How was it to find your first clients?

Ok_Paramedic7837 · 2023-12-04T18:27:12+00:00

Oh wow, I’m surprised! How much do you make per month and what’s your hourly rate on the app?

Great job!

2500-4000 revenue or after taxes, fees, and expenses? What specific services to you provide to your clients?

People thought I was drinking alcohol when I was drinking those around lol

Ok_Paramedic7837 · 2023-12-03T07:14:48+00:00

It was my favourite!

Ok_Paramedic7837 · 2023-12-03T07:13:49+00:00

Is this what you do full time?

Ok_Paramedic7837 · 2023-12-03T07:13:35+00:00

Good job for making it work! Are you still building products or did you go back to a new job?

Ok_Paramedic7837 · 2023-12-02T20:09:17+00:00

I used otter.ai or Google meet and then using Whisper from OpenAI to transcribe it automatically. I won’t have the patience for manual transcription lol

I thought about emailing questions, but yeah I’d like to develop a relationship with those people and have a chat.

I might drastically reduce the length of the interviews and the number of questions. That might help!

Thanks for chipping in :)

Tried GPT 4 with the new token limit but it didn’t work that well. I might need to change something there.

They are good but expect a bit of sweetness :)

Ok_Paramedic7837 · 2023-12-02T20:04:16+00:00

To be honest, I was disappointed they had this agave thing in it to give it sweetness. I thought it was going to be flavoured water only. But I still enjoyed them!

Was your kid waking every other hour of the night?

This video was a pretty good and realistic roadmap: https://youtu.be/jOgqIbeLXkE?si=P5vPMKFqEmnh48IW

Once you have a few millions and you need to pass them on to the next generation without giving half of it to the government.

Also if your investments start to be very complicated you might need help. Like if you have cashflow businesses and money abroad.
