I 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.

Dug a little into your background, read some of your posts. Appreciate the different perspective with "Choose Money First." I think a piece of that will stick with me forever now, just because it hit a little different. So I guess just.. thanks for the thoughts.

I really loved this article. Why I have choosen CS? when people ask I give same answer as written in this.

"Make decisions that will give you more choices, not fewer."

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I had a similar idea 2 years ago [1] but haven't been pushing it forward because I thought nobody would need something like this, since it's easy to implement a cronjob in a backend server. Maybe I should revisit this! :) [1] https://cronbeats.com/

Hi @jventura, I tried to sign up on cronbeats.com but the verification email did not arrive – are your emails working? About the logo – I'll take it as "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" ;-)

Saw your response just now, sorry! Yeah, something's not working with emails.. I'll check it out, thanks!

I wrote a book about adult ADHD last year & make ~$500/mo from it between Amazon, Audible, & Gumroad: https://adhdpro.xyz/ Recorded the audiobook myself too.

Nice idea. How did you go about marketing the book/getting reviews?

I launched www.rtljobs.com in October and had my first month of $500 in revenue in December. It's a job board that caters to a very specific subset of electrical engineers - specifically, ones that work with FPGAs and logic design for chips. Need help hiring FPGA or RTL engineers? Let's talk. fpga.rtl.jobs@gmail.com

Whats an RTL job?

RTL is shorthand for "register transfer logic". It's a term of art for "digital design at the gate level".

Thanks for sharing this... How did your paying customers became aware of you?

Almost entirely thru word of mouth from an engineer at their company, or thru posting on Reddit.
