Yeah, as a creative freelancer I have barely programmed a few things and had some "aha" moments that made me realize I can basically program anything (given time), but even though I think of myself as an artist, musician, father, husband, and brother I am starting to see now that code and app dev are what will unlock the next steps of my journey... ...This video was an insanely helpful and inspiring reminder of that! 🙏

I mean we can build stuff as a developer, but selling is actually the hardest part. Most of the developers you mentioned, they built their products for a few days or months, but selling them and making profits took them months or years.

as someone who does both, I see the video as a good reminder or way-opener for IT individuals to start building and not be locked in imaginary limits of a job. What Travis said is basically, go out there and make your own success in the world. And to your point, the two easiest ways to sell are 1- make a good product, enough so people use it, and treat them well so they talk about it well. 2- get a sales partner. I know it is easier said than done, but it is also not that hard, just start and in time you will do it so easily. Because to be a good seller you have to learn how to sell, and you do that by trying to sell. Those mentioned in the video probably had an online presence, be it they wrote articles, spent money advertising, or simply contributed to open source or certain communities. Nothing anyone can't do in the next 6 months.

Remember that you aren't limited to one attempt. It's about perseverance. If 1/10 startups don't fail (Based on your 90% failure) then you only need to try 10 times to get something that does't fail. Lets gooooooo

@@GGYlenol no. But it’s how highly successful people stay motivated. It’s far easier to convince yourself to keep going if you have convinced yourself that it is indeed a guaranteed success if you do rather than having to try 10,000+ times to hit that 10% success rate. Also it’s not just a random probability there are other factors that are involved and your chances of success go up as you learn what they are and account for them. Someone who has made 100+ startups might have a 25% chance to succeed based on their knowledge and experience creating successful startups. Failures increase this too, as you have narrowed down things that don’t work and have learned some things that might help you iterate more quickly on your next idea.

Maybe part of the problem for us "problem solvers" is, that we cannot imagine for how simple problems "normal" people are willing to pay for - and that not even once, but on a subscription basis! On the other hand, I cannot imagine these business models being very sustainable. Economy going south, crossfit timer app is first thing to go. That said, respect for those guys milking the opportunies as the arise, even when their time window most likely will not going beyond some years or probably months.

Exactly. However, I think most of us would never pay for something like that, but most people are not that into tech, so they have no idea that they are overpaying for something or that those things can easily be done. But that's how businesses are. That's the point.

@@11vag I think you hit it on the nail here. As developers, we know a lot of this is just ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc behind a nice user interface, and landing page, which is what you get when AI is so easily accessible... I'm not saying using the existing LLMs are bad because it's not, but when it's the core of your application, what separates you from everyone else? LLMs should act as a supplement to something that's great without it. I'm not knocking it. As someone making a SaaS, I won't knock the next person, but this is just the way it is.

My most successful project was a Discord chatbot. Real simple thing. There was a game I liked. Very stats heavy. I created some basic keyword-based commands that would make API requests for said game and return it in a conversational message. No AI or anything. Hosted it on a Raspberry Pi! Wasn't much of a cash generator, but did see a few thousand users.
