Sales is grim work for introverts, you can do it but if it's most of what you are doing then you need to question what the point of it is.
This seems to be the issue with me. I am more like 'laptop' guy who is rather good in researching. I am also keen on observing things. But sales stuffs, cold calling give me chills. How do I overcome it?

Cryptocurrency, obvs.
I actually once offered some guy in India $100 to summarize a list of articles of for me. Sending the money internationally was by far the biggest pain point. So yeah, cryptocurrency could be the key ingredient that makes this idea work.

For popular, public content, you could split the price amongst many buyers, like Kickstarter.
I wish I could do this with subtitles! I hate waiting years for subtitles to TV series and obscure movies to become available. Ones in European languages mostly e.g. Cordon season 2 has been out for years, no English subs available. Latest season of Rita , out for a year, no English subs. The Colombian Ugly Betty , impossible to find many years later. I waited a couple of years for the latest season of Engrenages etc…

Sending money internationally is very easy. Sending money to countries with capital controls is a hustle.

It’s easy, but leaky in terms of fees and delays as compared to US-to-US transfers. When I send money to EU hobbyists, it’s often 3 days and ~10% eaten up by fees.

There are gateways like PayPal (which is why it skyrocketed in the first place). So you send $100 PayPal and he gets $100. He then goes and spend his full money to buy something online without any other fees.
People doing an hour of work online for a few bucks are likely interested in buying something locally rather than spending $100US on something online.
I feel that PG needs to make a concerted effort to use "uhm" less. It negatively affects his ability to eloquently communicate an idea.

How much are you all willing to bid? I'll do it for $10. That's cheaper than any AI on the market.
Startup idea: "Summarize it for me" - Upload any document/video/url and pay $x for the cliffsnotes.
