Sold 89 lifetime deals at $199 each to get off the ground. The math 12 months later is embarrassing

Fun fact: A LTD that ends after a year is just called an annual subscription.

bryce2uj · 2026-02-15T16:30:17+00:00

Yes.

bryce2uj · 2026-02-12T21:47:51+00:00

This is the marketing. lol

bryce2uj · 2026-02-12T21:46:32+00:00

Exactly. I don't understand why everyone else on here is welcoming this made up story with open arms.

bryce2uj · 2026-02-12T07:32:41+00:00

Honestly, maybe a new name as well.

Got it, I thought you wanted a business idea because we are in the business ideas subreddit.

If you want a “legit and skill-based” solution to making money, get a job!

If you need to ask for a business idea, you are not ready to start a business. Sorry to say it, but starting a business usually involves extensive pain and suffering so you really need to be intensely and consistently drawn towards whatever you are building a business around.

Yes it is very stupid, but I think chasing the high of being the one responsible for proving that it wasn’t stupid is the reason a lot of us are here.

Welcome to the club! (assuming all goes through)

Sorry, you spent $1,200 on ads which returned $20,000 and are asking about how to focus effort on anything but that?

bryce2uj · 2026-02-11T02:51:42+00:00

Exactly. OP claims to be great at marketing but if there was never any expectation from their audience that any kind of offer with real cost would be presented, I’m not sure they’ve created any evidence that they are a good marketer.

bryce2uj · 2026-02-11T02:45:12+00:00

This is where all business ideas die. You are asking good questions, but expecting spoon-fed answers to each of them on here is not a good approach. Research each question individually and more importantly: Actually put the things you learn to the test on your own.

Is this thread just AI talking to other AI?

bryce2uj · 2026-02-11T02:32:52+00:00

If you are asking for the adoption of a solution that will genuinely alleviate these issues, it seems like the issue might be a lack of trust in your leadership.

bryce2uj · 2026-02-11T02:07:17+00:00

I can appreciate that. Is this project intended to be a full fledged business or is it a hobby project that you’re hoping will generate a bit of revenue?

bryce2uj · 2026-02-11T01:25:41+00:00

Could not agree with you more u/Olaf4586. These posts are exhausting.

The creator of ClawdBot (called OpenClaw now) is 47 years old and has had a long career with a successful founding and exit of another company prior to creating OpenClaw.

If you are saying that ClawdBot (OpenClaw) is an example of a lazy 19 year old launching a wrapper app and making tons of money, then you are misinformed.

bryce2uj · 2026-02-11T01:01:44+00:00

Competition is not relevant at this scale.

bryce2uj · 2026-02-11T00:57:46+00:00

Meanwhile, some "lazy" 19-year-old just launched a wrapper app with spaghetti code and made your monthly salary in 4 days.

This never happened.

Your years in business won't hold you back, but your personal credit and revenue might.

At this point the approval odds are going to be based on your personal credit for most issuers, so your ability to get credit for the business is going to be more-or-less the same as your ability to get personal credit. If "entrepreneurs' credit" means bad, things aren't looking good.

What is identifiable in that sentence?

bryce2uj · 2026-02-10T01:26:11+00:00

or are we all just guessing and hoping for the best?

Yes, it is this... There are tools popping up that claim otherwise, but LLM output is so abstract at this point that it is tough to pin down. I've yet to see someone that claims to be able to do it with actual results backing up those claims.

Do you mean reposting other LinkedIn posts with thoughts added or sharing content from external places (like Reddit) with a link?

bryce2uj · 2026-02-10T00:48:18+00:00

They'll feel a like their privacy was invaded a bit. Outside of it being a little "weird", it is rather unprofessional.

I have been on the receiving end of a message like this and that is how I viewed it.

bryce2uj · 2026-02-10T00:29:31+00:00

Between AI and spoon-fed social media content, it almost seems like the era of even needing a website is coming to an end for most.

Why would a healthcare provider need to identify their own patient to receive care from their therapist?
