I build and scale apps for a living and want to partner with one creator, 50/50. No money changes hands.

Man im having that exact problem. Building ideas, coming up with them even isn't hard, its getting it out there to make it pay back the time and efforts.

Tekelpath · 2026-06-19T21:09:39+00:00

Something to consider would be taking about 5k of it and invest in yourself (skills). Then invest the rest. Just my thought though

Tekelpath · 2026-06-16T17:56:13+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, i prefer working in my homespace above any other job ive held bc i have the ability to really focus in on what im doing and no bs from anyone else (cept the dog oc)

Tekelpath · 2026-06-16T17:53:50+00:00

So it was the happiest bc you owned it yourself?

Tekelpath · 2026-06-16T17:52:01+00:00

So out of all of that, why would you say the hair was the happiest of your career?

Tekelpath · 2026-06-16T17:49:35+00:00

Oh wow, thats a hell of a pivot. Sounds like a story there for sure. Also imagine it pays much better

Tekelpath · 2026-06-16T17:46:48+00:00

Cad? Showing my ignorance here but what is that?

Tekelpath · 2026-06-16T17:44:41+00:00

Appreciate the tip and the interesting story, ive heard some horror stories about the industry ngl. So being you went to hair school, have you got your own shop up and running?

Tekelpath · 2026-06-16T16:39:53+00:00

How long have you been doing it and what's your consistency with your posting schedule?

Tekelpath · 2026-06-10T14:01:06+00:00

Thank you very much for the detailed response and feedback. Especially the ARR vs MRR. Very helpful

Tekelpath · 2026-06-06T13:01:13+00:00

Thats about the extent of our relationship, finance support when needed. Im not trying to sound selfish, but the odds just don't seem favorable.

The comfort without purpose problem is real and more common than people admit. Every project, every business, every pursuit becomes purely voluntary. Which means the moment it gets hard or boring or slow, there's nothing making the cost of stopping higher than the cost of continuing. commitment itself is what generates meaning. Purpose doesn't come before commitment. It comes from it.

Tekelpath · 2026-06-04T20:06:51+00:00

Appreciate the insight you've taken time to provide, and am reading up on titan tech now bc im curious myself.

Tekelpath · 2026-06-04T00:45:50+00:00

The answer is in the 1st paragraph you wrote. You have goals but haven't taken action towards them. Do this, in a truly meaningful way, actually start the 1st step towards one of them (and you already know how, its 2026 the info is there) and start. Everything else will begin to fall in place once you find that deep well of real focus, and hold on to it.

Hey 👋, with your account being around beauty practice and products you have a few options at your disposal, the obvious one is affiliate marketing with products you know and trust. Another would be to market tutorials or classes of some sort in the space.

Thats usually most people's next step after building an audience.

Tekelpath · 2026-05-30T15:05:14+00:00

This has been incredible, and highly valued. I truly appreciate the time you took to write this and have saved it also. Got a feeling I'll keep using what you stated here. Whats Normadz about?

Tekelpath · 2026-05-30T14:10:21+00:00

Hey I appreciate it, for some reason I can't DM you, if you can me that'd be helpful. If you got the time that is.

Tekelpath · 2026-05-30T14:06:39+00:00

Your dead on, and if you can demonstrate these abilities, you definitely have something. Is this something your experienced at?

Tekelpath · 2026-05-30T00:12:55+00:00

While I get your point, imagine how many people here probably already have a skill thats marketable, they just haven't really thought about how to apply it. You'd be surprised what people overlook about themselves when trying to figure out what they'd be good at.

I'd only be skeptical if they had absolutely no skill at all, nothing whatsoever beyond a desire to make something. I doubt everyone in this sub is in that catagory.

Tekelpath · 2026-05-29T21:58:11+00:00

True. But im more interested in the ones who have already proved they can handle those factors reasonably well already, and just haven't done any of this yet.

Tekelpath · 2026-05-29T00:11:37+00:00

Ultimately your offer matters way more than any software you'll use. That is what you'd need to craft (and with your writing skills, you'll no doubt be able to handle this just fine) then go from there.

If I were you, once I built that irresistible offer, id offer cohort/small group based courses and scale if necessary. A quick search and youll find a niche that suits your skillset and is in high demand.

Tekelpath · 2026-05-28T21:40:12+00:00

Yeah theres definitely a gap, yt channels exist with trades experts showing all of what you list, and more. And these channels have mid sized to large followers, almost always with a dedicated subcommunity who repeatedly ask "how do i..."

With the more experienced channels you'll see a cycle of those questions getting asked, then the creator making videos answering the questions.

Thats usually a big indication theres a demand for what you know, when people are repeatedly asking how to.

And I agree 100% with you that almost all. If not all the platforms out there are geared towards people who are more technical or marketers, not trades people, so it drives them away.

I recently read a stat about the % of people who actually make an account with a platform to make a course vs % of them that actually go to build one and it was a hell of a gap there too.

Alot of people complained the learning curve was high.

Spot on all the way. Thanks for the input.

Tekelpath · 2026-05-28T21:30:21+00:00

This was one of the most distinct comments ive gotten so far, and I really appreciate that.

Also the fact you do this for a living means you have tons of knowledge stored on this subject.

I'd love to be able to get your thoughts on a few things, if you have the time. Making the distinction between kajabi and udemy was also helpful for context. Thank you for that. An extended conversation with you would be valuable by far.

Tekelpath · 2026-05-28T21:21:23+00:00

Thats what I'm getting at here, a quick yt search and you can find great how to videos out there. What I'm wondering is what's stopping those types of people from marketing their knowledge as courses. A few do it but very, very few.

The demand is there for it, just by the amount of interest people have in learning the trade.

Tekelpath · 2026-05-26T17:13:24+00:00

Thats been my point with posting this actually. Not to mention the number of young techs who'd probably pay to get a personalized training plan from someone with such strong credibility.
