My 9 Sources of Income as a Solopreneur 

After being fired for being a mediocre programmer, oh the irony.

​@@t6hp I have said the same thing. This dude is a l!ar he is promoting his mediocre apps 😂

He already had a CS Masters in 2016,

The youtuber is blatantly lying. Compare what he says here 0:17 to his marclouvion linkedin profile. He says he taught himself to in 2021 yet he's already been coding since 2015 as stated in his linkedin profile. He's trying his best to spin a "rags to riches" story using lies to gather more engagement. Zero integrity. He probably doesn't even earn what he claims he earns.

Will do Jon! Meanwhile, this can help: marclou.beehiiv.com/p/how-to-find-startup-ideas

@@marc-lou Legend, thanks

Thanks! What topic would you like to learn about?

Thanks Joe!

I tried it. Raised $100K angel and hired a small team. 9 months later, I didn't like anything in my typical day, so I moved on!

@@marc-lou Oh wow! Would be great if you considered making a video about it one day ☺ Have you thought about hiring people on your team now?

@@aaronzhong OK will do! Now I want to stay solo 100% for the freedom

@@marc-lou That's the dream. All the best and looking forward to seeing more videos :)

Hey I love your message! Thanks for sticking around. I learned Javascript & React on Udemy ( it was boring but necessary) Then I learned NextjS by making apps. Curious, what the #1 reason you're learning how to code?

can nextjs be used to build a complete saas prod? @@marc-lou

Thanks for tuning in!

Just added it to the list, thanks!

React + NextJS + Tailwind, no doubt. I built & use ShipFa.st for that

Yes but build apps you or your friends would use, that's how you get motivated

@@marc-lou Thanks for reply!

Best compliment ever thanks 😂

Un peu de potion magique et c'est parti :D

Thanks, Mitch. Just getting started on RU-vid, time will tell :)

Heck yeah! you're crushing - thanks for all the transparency @@marc-lou

I did go to uni and spent 5 years drinking beers and playing WoW. I managed to get the diploma because I copied other students during the final exam. I started to learn coding right after uni.

Now I don't need to get a job anymore, I updated my bio to be more realistic

As a current CS student, you don’t really learn how to code practical/useful things in college. A lot of that comes from dedicating personal time to building projects and applications outside of school, hence the “self taught” claim that most boast.

RU-vid & Udemy mostly

I am a complete beginner. Any channel would you like to recommend me to get started from basics?@@marc-lou

@@marc-lou So you became a great programmer from zero in just 3-4 years. Really unbelievable. People spend years in university and know jackshit.

I can't remember but it doesn't matter, there are tons!

Awesome thank you! I will use it :D @@marc-lou

A CS masters isnt relevant when you build startups. The developer behind the product doesn’t matter. Him losing your respect doesn’t matter, because clearly your respect isn’t worth very much anyways by the way you are trying to act. My opinion anyways. No need to hate

@@oSpam you didn't pay attention

Clearly you didn’t. Show me a timestamp where he mentions anything to do with using a degree

Haha go 🔥

you don't start something thinkinh about the end

right but a sustainable business? @@marc-lou

Wdym by saturation? Does an axe get saturated? Like that nextjs doesn't get saturated cus it is just a tool

haha good point dumb questions make me go crazy ​@@NewTypeStarling

This hurts my feelings

Yeah bc it is absolutely impossible to better your skills as a dev after gettin fired right?

​​@@xxh55 The point is how he got so good on his own to the point that he is making millions with professional websites if he failed to do to ease things in normal jobs ?! To build all this sites you need not only good skills but money if he was broke living with his parents suddenly became a genius. Is not that that is impossible, but you won't become a professional programmer with some pet projects at home you need hard projects available in freelancer jobs and big corporations. His story is not well presented, it sounds like a scam. He is just trying to promote his websites this dude is not making millions.

@@englishspacitel258 He has around 20 products, from what I've seen all of them are pretty small with a limited amount of features, nothing on the level of really big corporations or anything like that. I think you view this thing from the perspective of a programmer who is very focused on the product itself and the features, rather than the business side, and I understand that, but to make money you really just need to solve a problem or an inconvenience of your target users. He does exactly that with some simple products which are also not very expensive for the average person and he simply promotes himself well. He also didnt say that he makes millions, he said he makes around 50k to 60k a month, which probably doesnt even take taxes into account. Yes, it is a lot of money, but if you build a good product, or at least better than other options on the market, and promote it well you are going to make some money. Besides all this, if this was really a scam he would try to sell a course or a book or something along those lines like a lot of influencers do these days

@@englishspacitel258 You dont need to be a genius to make money, if you want to make millions or billions of dollars and innovate then yes you do need to be a genius, but this guy does not do that. If he really was a scammer he would rent out cars and expensive houses to show a lavish lifestyle and we would try to teach people how to make the same money via some paid courses, that's an actual scam but this dude just makes some youtube videos

@@englishspacitel258 And I am not defending him because I like him or anything, but I think that you and people who think like you should really change the perspective. Why not try to build some projects yourself? Maybe you are not going to make 50k, maybe you are going to make 5k, but I dont think you would say no to that. You should just stop putting yourself and other people down and you'll benefit from that, man...
