Have you heard about the Faceswap API? It’s a neat piece of tech that lets you swap faces in images and videos. I’ve been thinking about how we can turn this into a solid income stream. Here are three practical ideas that could help you bring in $1,000 a month.
Hi, My name is Shashank and I am an API Seller myself and listed my APIs on RapidAPI (by the name of Pipfeed). After 2 years of my APIs getting new customer slowly, I reached around $1500 MRR on RapidAPI. Naturally I wanted to grow my business but it was impossible with RapidAPI. I needed an API Store that I could control. So, If I was going to set up a Sales pipeline withe email funnels and ads, I want to be able to track everything.
So I started working on an API store for Pipfeed APIs. But I realized it is a lot of work for just one API Seller to create this API Store. I had to create systems like Authentication, Analytics, Billing, User Portals and more.
I realized other API Sellers might have the same problem so I reached out to them and my intuition turned out to be true. Hence I decided to create MagicAPI. We have been building MagicAPI for quite sometime now.
MagicAPI is ready for launch and we are now onboarding new API Sellers. We are looking for 10 API Sellers who we will work with directly to improve their sales. We are happy to set up your Sales Pipeline, tracking, conversions etc.
Let me know if you want to be an API Seller at MagicAPI. Happy to onboard you.
I really disagree. I think you haven't even tried reading the article or any of these books. To be true I was one of these people who thought all these "self-help" books are quite useless. I used to hate the word "self-help"
But these books changed my mindset. Let me share some insights from these books:
1) Fastlane Millionaire
Told me that if I want to be a "Millionaire" then it's highly unlikely I will be one by working for others (a job) unless my job is super high paying. Also by having a job I am playing an almost no risk and less reward game. Instead if I just increase the risk profile lil bit my rewards will be must more increased. It's hard to explain everything in 2 lines, hence this books is number 1.
2) Creativity Inc
How can creativity be nurtured and promoted.
3) Range
I am one of those people who like to do multiple things and mostly mix my different passions and make something new.
6) The $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau
Startups don't need to be started with a lot of money. People are making it big.
7) Originals by Adam Grant
Lessons from others that it is okay to think differently and it is okay to do things others might tell you not to.
I used to been an engineer in the PHP SDK for AWS which is open-sourced on Github and anyone can look at the code published by the AWS teams. AWS manages over 8 SDKs including SDK for JAVA, ruby, python, javascript, PHP, go, C++ and few other languages.
Generally, it requires a significant number of engineers to manage just one SDK. To make sure all APIs and features are available across all SDKs is a big feat. In this post, we are going to talk about how to scale the SDK and how AWS is able to achieve perfect synchronicity across all SDKs without sloshing the SDKs team with manually updating each SDK.
