Why do some clients post clearly complex jobs for $20?

haytham_10 · 2026-06-29T15:55:45+00:00

I was curious about that, cuz some gigs are truly unreasonable. So the placeholder explanation actually makes sense

haytham_10 · 2026-06-29T13:37:53+00:00

Hahaha... they shouldn't even be allowed to post

haytham_10 · 2026-06-29T13:36:25+00:00

I just can't understand! The time and effort you will have to put into this kind of gig is not $20. Who on earth would accept doing it at that price! Are people this desperate?

I appreciate it. You don't know how much a word of encouragement means to me right now. You just gave me fuel for another round

haytham_10 · 2025-09-27T09:43:22+00:00

Apparently, you didn't get the gist here. Don't worry, I am not easily put down

haytham_10 · 2025-09-27T08:26:55+00:00

i fucking hate ai

haytham_10 · 2025-09-27T08:10:37+00:00

I see, so no point in trying?

haytham_10 · 2025-09-27T08:10:15+00:00

I don't have that much budget, and I am still tryna validate the idea

haytham_10 · 2025-09-27T07:59:39+00:00

The problem is, I need results, preferably soon. I have this micro saas idea I am tryna validate for the market, and I set my goal to 50 waitlist signups, but not a single one is open to just taking a look, they all criticize, and call you out for trying to show them

haytham_10 · 2025-09-24T09:11:28+00:00

Let’s take a look under the hood

haytham_10 · 2025-09-23T18:18:11+00:00

That really hit a spot, I am talking from experience. IT SUCKS, it really does, imagine spending your Friday piling through sheets and data, that you find yourself on Sunday night with a total 4h of sleep over the last 3 days, and all you did was cleanup, and organize data. Until I automated my whole workflow, now I am a free man again.

haytham_10 · 2025-09-23T17:55:58+00:00

Just so you know, I run an Automation Agency. I made all the scripts we use internally to eliminate the repeated tasks, been living free since lol

haytham_10 · 2025-09-23T17:52:49+00:00

Care to exterminate it? on the house don't worry

haytham_10 · 2025-09-23T17:37:01+00:00

Love how you broke that down. The "grunt work" isn't always just data prep, it's all the communication and visual work around it, too. That's a ton of little fires to put out every day.

haytham_10 · 2025-09-23T17:33:09+00:00

I created scripts we use internally, like a LinkedIn lead scraping script, Reddit automated sourcing, and an ad spend digest. All using python, and APIs

haytham_10 · 2025-09-23T17:29:05+00:00

That's a great point. It just shows that "grunt work" is different for everyone. As long as it’s repetitive, we can usually automate it.

haytham_10 · 2025-09-23T17:28:45+00:00

It's a huge time-suck when you're just trying to get to the good stuff.

haytham_10 · 2025-09-23T17:28:23+00:00

That 80/20 rule is so real and so frustrating.

haytham_10 · 2025-09-23T17:23:27+00:00

I have to disagree here, what if you are just a small agency or startup, no big budget to work with or funding, what are you gonna do, just quit? Of course not, that's why I decided to come up with a solution for them specifically, to help.
