@@marc-lou I have seen your skits, and I think you're pretty funny so vlogs. Second, you said you taught yourself how to code, I'm also self taught (I learnt from TheOdinProject), a lot of people want to start their own SaaS, so a video about how to learn web dev would be nice. Third, a lot of people who know how to build, don't know how to market (me included), so a video about that would be great considering I believe most of your viewers already know how to code.

Hi Marc, great video! Would be great if you could make a tutorial on how you build these, I think I'm speaking for a lot of people who would love a long video on how you build one of these startups from the group up, code, visuals, website, etc... Step by step. Thanks in advance, and keep it up!

@douglasmalm9208
@douglasmalm9208 3 месяца назад
@@marc-lou Thanks for the reply! Yes, exactly. Now it's more the finished product being shown off and sold. Would be great to see more from the first line of code, why how, and where. How you implement Chat GPT, how you connect it to your website, all of the details. To the final product, when making the first dollar, and finding the buyer of the start-up. Might be much to ask for, but I truly think this would be a great tutorial for both us, but also the YT algorithm. Something like "how to build a tech startup step by step".

Hey, Amazing story and I love how honest your videos are. Very inspiring. Just one question: All indie hackers are building AI tools. But how expensive is it to use the GPT-4 API ? When someone is using your product, you are paying all his request to the API, right ? I hope you'll see my question. Thanks again for your videos.
