#143I've run http://olodolo.com (it mostly runs itself) since 2018, which lets people buy things on AliExpress using crypto. I often describe it as the only non-scam crypto website :)

#147I make about $50k/mo on https://www.closingcredits.com I found that most teaching platforms for voice actors out there are run by a bunch of celebrities who are pushing edutainment, not education. So I wanted to make something specific for voice actors. I will try to branch it out to other creators later.
