How much did it cost to transcribe so many podcasts? Are you running Whisper on your $7 VM?
1. Twitch/YouTube/Twitter/Instagram Reels/TikTok - Basically every platform is becoming a video platform. You might need to edit a bit if you want to post on other platforms or make short videos but it would pop-off if you write hooks well
2. It'll be a grind but you can post on places where followers don't matter. And if possible, create new accounts as new accounts are given more push. Also, pay the rent of platforms like blue check as it pushes the content to more people. Atleast that's how its on Meta/Twitter
3. Use AI & build a useful app like Job Application using Personalize AI messages. Someone might've build this but recreate it. Why? This will get you job faster & if it actually works well, you can make it into a SaaS so you never have to work a job again if that's what you want or you can sell it for 10x with the AI hype that's going on
no, check https://reddit.com/r/SaaS/comments/1cby14y/find_existing_sta... isnt working either
same i was replying to https://old.reddit.com/r/SaaS/comments/1cby14y/find_existing... & it went down fast.
ugc wasn't promoted earlier. that's whats new.
there was a reason there were so many tiktok video that went viral where influencers used to tell people to append "reddit" at the end.
you don't need to do that anymore because quora, reddit, etc... all rank above on google now.
there's a reason seo's are crying because they all lost their income.
yep, that's the exact reddit thread linked in the article.
the first comment has probably made $10,000+ in commissions. probably more.
lol, where is it promoting link spam techniques?
and if you know seo, you'll realise most of seo is blackhat only.
seo as a whole depends on gaming google with more backlinks & more outreaches.
link spam techniques are done because they work.
yeah. any examples of those? how it used to be done?
because google only started promoting ugc sites since its last update on September 2023.
I just learned Docker in ~2 hours from this channel -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg19Z8LL06w&pp=ygUPZG9ja2VyI... (see if you like it)
If you do like it, she has a complete course. 2 courses actually - Devops Bootcamp & DevSecOps bootcamp.
That's all you need to learn really fast.
The second video I watched was in my native language but it was cool as well. You can use subtitels bcz this guy has unique teaching style. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31k6AtW-b3Y&pp=ygUPZG9ja2VyI...
Or you can read books if you can learn fast with that. Look up author Nigel Poulton. He has 2 books - one on Docker & one on Kubernetes. Grab the latest version.
I avoided docker for a decade only to learn it in 2 hours. It is really simple. I also tweeted this recently which I think is accurate but I probably don't know what I'm talking about -> https://twitter.com/deadcoder0904/status/1756606191227273648
how is this gonna compete with ph itself?
it is extremely complicated when it shouldn't be. maybe someday someone will make a saas to solve this problem once & forever.
i've wrote custom code for it that i'll share maybe 1 day but not yet.
what i did was use markdown with node.js & wrote a script that all chapters are read from it.
it looks like this:
_book/ chapter1/ pic1.jpg index.md chapter2/ . . . chapter100/
and then it uses princexml with 100 loc of css to output a beautiful pdf.
this should definitely be a saas though. it has massive potential.
yes, i thought john cena like body was achievable.
but after working out for 4 years consistently, i can pretty much say its nigh impossible.
if you want to bulk up like that, you need steroids. yes, even john cena like body which doesn't look that huge but its huge & can't be done without steroids.
heck, the liver king used the carrot problem incredibly to his advantage. he told people he got big eating liver. only after he made his $100m empire did he admit to it on andrew schultz podcast.
insiders knowing about stuff like this.
i have heard you can't get big in hollywood/bollywood if you don't exchange sexual favors. that's why they all protect rapists, sexual assaulters, etc...
there's a reason those who complain about sexual assaults, rape, etc... have their careers finished rather than the opposite.
like epstein's connections are not known bcz they are all in on it. everyone has skeletons in the closet. i mean it wouldn't be hard to get away with murder/rape if someone were rich. sounds like sci-fi but i find it real after hearing those dubai stories.
this is just one example. 3 examples op listed were also terrific.
one such case is recent. someone who is a recent graduate got a job through connections (nepotism?) & makes a lot of salary than others working the same position while doing little to no work. this is a personal experience of someone close.
then there's black hat tactics startups use that they can't admit to. like airbnb using #1 hacker. or someone using leaked databases to find emails. i saw a recent startup that matched twitter accounts with emails when twitter database got leaked. i'm sure that person is telling people some other story on how he got emails.
once you look at it, you'll find a lot of carrot problems in life. the reason why i posted it last night as soon as i found it.
hire a cheap developer from a 3rd-world country to build a lensa ai clone in react native so you get both android/ios version.
since ai art is popular right now, make it better than lensa.
hire influencers with a 20% cut if they refer your app.
invest in pr & aggressive marketing in addition to that.
if you do it right, this should turn your $100k into $1m in <3 months of launch.
if you don't get it done fast, then you can try instagram photoshoots or try to automate onlyfans with an ai.
this will take some work but its a sureshot way to make >$1m with the ai hype.
just "continue" works :)
type "continue" & it will continue where you left off.
it has a token cap so it stopped once it filled them.
that was a cool detailed breakdown.
how did you learn all that? i'm a noob at prompt engineering but would love to know how to get good at it with the least amount of time.
any good reasources to get up to speed?
dude no. most foreign apps won't work in india bcz we don't like to pay for apps.
"people come to india for dau, not arpu" ~ kunal shah on the knowledge project [0]
tiktok executed perfectly bcz they were optimizing for dau but even flipkart is doing better than amazon here. many apps just won't work bcz they don't understand. see how netflix lost by asking to pay?
people don't understand india as much as they think they do so i'd suggest you to watch the video below as it covers actual india from an actual indian who understands it.
nope, not only this guys examples are bad but he just tries too hard to be a contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. i called him that & he blocked me [1] for some reason. probably there's some truth in it that he got hurt.
his examples are so bad. i've read paul graham's essays, naval's thread & alex hormozi's $100m offers book & all are quite good & easy to understand. naval's thread is a big hard but he has whole bunch of podcasts (4 hours) [2] explaining them in detail & articles [3] to accompany them.
the op's entire schtick is to sell his courses by writing articles. first he wrote an article on build a business, not an audience [4] & then did a complete 180 turn & has been building an audience ever since. then he started selling courses. it's like his schtick is to go against the popular ideas & attack them to garner following.
although, he does have some good insights in a few of his articles like when he summarized a book (nathan latka) or a video (sam parr)... rest of his posts are purely trying to hard to be a contrarian. tries to hard to be like peter thiel except he doesn't have any real arguments.
you don't have to believe me. just read $100m offers & apply it. that book could've saved me many years of trying to figure out the framework myself & has every single technique mentioned on how to make a good offer. if you actually follow the advice to the t, you will actually be on the pathway to your 1st million. not to say, the author himself is worth >$100m & has a portfolio of companies making $150m/year so he'll be a billionaire in a year or two. you don't become a billionaire without any real insights unless you are a trust fund baby.

the company (rovio) that built angry birds only succeeded after 51+ failed games.

for the latter, use https://sourcegraph.com
go partner with some big influencer like pomp or logan paul & give them 50% to promote it.
it's such a terrific service that just needs to be promoted to make millions of dollars.
youtube might never fix it bcz more spam bots = more monthly active users.
the only concern with your service is channels get higher rank in algorithm bcz of spam bots so they might never use it but some probably might prefer to keep their channel clean :)
this is awesome. how is it different from paddle.com or getrevin.com? it looks like a merchant of record :)
in future, movie posters, t-shirts, & so much more will be generated by dall•e.
whoever is first-to-market with dall•e will skyrocket their business exponentially.
yes, you can read these blogs for more info: https://openai.com/blog/dall-e/ & https://openai.com/dall-e-2/
plenty of business models. anything that requires designers can be used with dall•e for a monthly cost. designers require $1k-10k a month (assuming you're in us) & dall•e can greatly reduce that cost to $100 a month through scale.
i believe dall•e is even more useful than gpt-3 because as of now, only real business model that worked for gpt-3 was copywriting.
dall•e will have branches under images like tshirts, replacing desingers or providing designers with more inspiration, stock photos, nfts & so much more...
open ai has banned nft generations so not possible with dall•e but i hope open-source version comes along in ~1-2 years.
t-shirt is a good idea. many companies will incorporate it definitely.
think of dall•e like stepping stones to create the finish product.
this isn't supposed to make designers useless but rather make them more creative.
dall*e can be used as an inspiration to combine multiple images & create their own. it can be used to steal color combination that is aesthetically pleasing on the eyes.
if you think dall•e is useless, you haven't seen the images shared.
the realistic ones are hidden by openai but they can generate a lot of stuff that we won't know until an open-source version comes along.
