Why did my side-hustle fail? How to validate business ideas 

I don't use Twitter because... It requires an email and phone number to sign up.

you could let users clone their own voices and sell them and then set up a referral program

Surprised you're still on Twitter

As someone who has been watching your content for a couple of months now, I really wish you had a more direct approach to content. The bits and jokes are not easy to follow most of the time and the visuals most of the time are not presenting the video coherently. I don’t mean to hate, you have proven yourself to be someone that I could learn a lot from.

Yo the video is too long, I already lost my motivation.

Dude, I'm having such a hard time trying to debug SSR code with Sveltekit... Don't even dare me on calling bs on the svelte-love, haha.

Ouch, hit me right in the early 2010s. God speed JQuery tutorials...

Why not just go full JQuery?

Mootools ftw

No backbone love?

Yes, that bit of humility really went a long way in making be less insecure about my jank code. My half-assed, but working github projects are going public.

What does your dick have to do with this?!

What do you mean by a "responsive" site? I took a look around it and don't understand your comment. I am still learning, so am curious.

@@brain5853 responsive is when the same site looks good on a phone and a computer (same html/css). He has shown on a phone his site looks bad

Is it worth it if you lose all your money?

I am going to comment this exact same thing 😂... but you stole my idea... or may be i'm to late 🥲.

@@dxabier if you do it smart you won't lose all your money maybe just some of it

More weakling wantrepreneurs in this comment section than a Dan Lock video. Maybe if you get enough atta-boys you'll actually start something! Lol

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS,

It reminded me of everything I already know and again reminded me to refocus on what actually matters in the project. Which is pretty motivational. Loosing focus and working on crap that doesn't really work ultimately makes your project feel jank and bleck.

true!

a precise summary

Been indie making for 4 years, barely making money... trust me its not easy as it looks, you need to be prepared financially, physically and emotionally

@@ryant6552 Yea I get that, I have a decent amount saved, and I'm gonna be freelancing doing AWS consulting. I also have some other interviews coming up. I just know life is too short to be treated less than professionally at work.

​@@llambduh dang, enjoy your life, man, I wish I could get my ass stressed over a job as long as it earns me the 6 figures, but I got neither the respect nor the cash

@@TheDoomer666 Are you working 60+hrs a week? I'm a dev working close to that many hours and I use to do construction, i'd rather do construction. If you've never been a SWE you wouldn't understand the pressure it can bring. If I don't get something done in 8 hours it just means I keep working until it's done, or you lose your job, and when you're solving large logic and system problems you don't always get to wrap up at 5pm. People think being a SWE is some cushy gig, and I"m sure there are certain people who have less stressful enviroments, but a lot of us are under deadlines that were made with sh**** guesses and then we get extra work that isn't accounted for, basically the grass isn't always greener on the other side and I can understand this kind of post.

@@TheDoomer666 "I wish I could get my ass stressed over a job as long as it earns me the 6 figures" spoken like someone who has never spent a weekend fixing a dependency error you didn't even commit.

That's why my offer is 0.50 Dollars, so low you barely notice.

Does anyone actually sign up for email lists??

@@ratvibe for projects like mojo

@@ratvibe I signed up for chatgpt's plugins back when it wasn't released yet, also for mojo since I want to try it out whenever it comes out. Exclusivity is an addiction

i just lock on those email, if are important to me, at least almost as important when to pay the fee of the water supply service of my house, or when i will have my package on the way on my house about a buy i did 30 min ago, or ifsomeone noticed me in a job, other things are not so relevant to have an email, but for example, facebook emails are mostly thrash for except the validation user ones, and most amazon package relative emails are prioriti number 1 escept the ones amazon tries to sell me something i do not want, but we know stores sell ads of products, if there is a product i want but the seller is not paying ads for it, it will not reach my email, but that guy who desperate want to sell something have been send to my email, making that email thrash content, amazon is the only winner there, but is better if amazon send me something i need but i did not found, the seller get a buy, amazontheir comision and i my product, that can be a pretty good thing, but we know that is not going to happen.

in the AARRR framework, no amount of free audience can make a project grow beyond what it really deserves. Retention and Referral are key and can't be bought.

@@TheBlackManMythLegend Good point.. No matter how many niceties people are willing to give, come the 3rd month, if the product is shit they are going to cancel that payment

@@TheBlackManMythLegend But no audience and no exposure can kill just about anything. And that's where most people's ideas start off at. Plus your product can be garbage initially but if you have enough users thrown at it regularly, you can A/B optimize it into the perfect psychologically manipulative money extractor that everyone's app dreams of being.

Idk if this helps. Literally nothing matters in the grand scheme of things, so you can do whatever you please. No rules matter at all, it makes little sense to live in such a chaotic world with rules; social expectations and morals are agreed on but are largely irrelevant. So then, isn’t it better to die doing what you believe in, instead trying to live like others. This hot (for some, not for me) take is what I’ve been trying to really accept and live by, it doesn’t address many issues, but serves as a reminder nonetheless

I feel u bro, the job market is depressing 😔

Not for nothing - you have experience and knowledge that no one can take away from you.

​@@turolretar no rules matter at all? Man, can you please tell that to my landlord, the grocery store, my electricity bills, computer component manufacturers, etc.? And while you're at it, tell that to spacetime so I can stop aging so I don't feel like I wasted my prime years! Unfortunately though, we are living in reality where you can't just magically fix all your problems by imagining them away.

The struggle finally paid off for me in the past week, its been a very rough year for those of us trying to become something in a sea of seasoned programmers that got laid off, but it's worth it and we are all better programmers because of the conditions too. Good luck

I guess youtube chopped off the last minute of the video

Wrong timestamp. Fix it NOW

Good. You fixed it like I said

@@johnychinese it was a typo.

What game(s) did you make?

I'll make that happen if you paypal me $100

Lmao

There's absolutely no need to take the piss.

@@MRJMXHD Can we combine it a with generative text platform to make fireship, but edgier? Basically, if you mixed 4chan shitposting with pseudoeducational developement ideas.

What's your project?

Can you post a link or something? If it's interesting it might get you a couple signups or people on your mailing list anyway

Omg me too

I like, this comment replies. It has an advertiser, entrepreneur, someone interested in the project & obviously programmers. How can I get hold of any of you guys

Haha the typical fear someone will steal your project. I have a project too. Only 2 months now and an MVP will be ready. Why don’t you post a link? How’s your project doing now?

It’s very hard to be completely unique (and it might actually be impossible if we’re being real), but you really just need one thing to be different. I work in branding and if it can help, try to see what your competitors do and change one of these aspects: Who (target market), When (basically the moment they use your service, connects to their need), Where (maybe you could target a specific nation that doesn’t have that service yet), How (a different experience matters even if the result is the same), What (that’s just offering something new or adding onto something) and lastly Why (this is tough, but you could bet on a moral/ethical aspect) You really just need to stand out 1/8 of an inch, good luck!

Find weakness in competiton, EXPLOIT

I think must of us have that problem. Discipline is the hardest part lol.

I used to think like this, until I've pivoted into making side projects just for learning. Honestly it was a refreshing view, I learn way more efficiently, don't have the stress to be unique/marketable and I get to explore my creativity with no barriers. Shortly after I became a SWE I've lost that extra fire I used to have for Programming, but I realized I didn't lose it at all, I just don't like "Corporate Programming" and making projects in the hopes of making them profitable just added more to this feeling I had. I didn't give up on making a side-project profitable but I think it's not a good time for me right now to go in that direction, it's a goal of mine but I'm not pushing it at this stage.

man that siunds like serious mental wellbeing issues, it's like farmers thinking "oh no there's more farmers with potato crops, I am just gonna sow nothing now"

All you need as a beginner to make good profit in the financial market is a financial advisor who will assist you and also invest on your behalf else you make huge losses.

First start working with a certified financial advisor if you have any, if you don't, I will recommend John Desmond Heppolette, He's really one of the best advisor I'd invest with, he's going to guide you and give you the rundown on how to get started on a profitable investment journey.

I’ve been looking for a way to invest, the fact that Im a newbie, I believe I need someone who understands this market, someone to give me all the right advice I need to invest. I just discovered his exceptional resume when I Googled his name. Thank you for sharing this information! I see this as the beginning of something big and special.

John Desmond Heppolette, really seem to know this stuff. I found his online-page, read through his resume, educational background, qualifications and it was really impressive. I left him a note and booked a call session with him..

With the help of Sir John Desmond Heppolette, I’ve gained perfectly well from my investment. The quantity of capital you invest, though, ultimately determines everything. With a substantial start-up budget, you could able to end more

I thought the cringe quote was a bit....

@@jessh4016 Was a bit wot

This is a hustle channel

I think he made that app for the purpose of making this video. He definitely knew people wouldn't spend money on it. He probably also expects to make a bit on that site off of this video, but probably not a lot

I’m celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today. I started this journey with 6k. I have invested on time and also with the right terms now I have time for my family and the life ahead of me

Wow, really. I was able to make my $25k on investment

​@@eileengardner5462I’m looking for something I can venture into on a short term basis, I have $15k sitting in my savings

Assets that can make you rich *FX *Btcoin *Stocks *Gold *Real estate

You’re right but a lot of people remain poor due to ignorance

​@@rachelortiz3585trading is easier with proper guidance, especially from a professional, Newbies who are not aware of how crypto truly works and wish to make profits from it, I would advise to invest with a professional like Jeffrey kathryn, It helps secure and minimize the possibilities of losses.

​@@tanjakovacic9188哇你也认识她？我什至认为我是她唯一帮助我度过外汇交易的恐惧和失败的人。

I've never heard or seen any of her clients complain of lost I think she is just too perfect.

it was a testimony like this that introduced me to her and although at first I thought she was not real but I can now boldly testify...her strategies were awesome and her trading last week was boooom!!!

,Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade.. I will advice anyone to stop trading on your own it's very risky. Seek advice of a professional trader

As a beginner investor, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable 🤷. Myself I'm guided by Mrs Camille Anne Hector, a widely known crypto consultant 💪

​@@Max.5058 Wow!! Kind of in shock, you mentioned Mrs Camille. She has proved beyond all doubt that it's worth generating wealth from crypto investment. I've been earning greatly

I'm also a new subscriber of Mrs Camille Anne Hector coaching program and I'm so excited took a positive turn by earning over $10k biweekly

​@TrvorDanielSeeking her contact info

Idiot bots lol

That's a terrible idea. Even the code generated by AI need validated. Unless there is a system for AI built like a human team for building and testing (with real set of human validation data). I doubt it will be successful. AI is not an omniscient tool. It's confident but doesn't know where it's wrong unless you test its result and give the feedback.

It's already been done
