Do you have any practical DeFI resources you can share around this? I imagine you need to be brave enough to have a fair amount of $$$ tied up in ETH to take advantage of these opportunities as well. Are there not substantial risks with that?

I would suggest reading about the popular Defi apps directly from website, use Twitter. bankless.substack.com is popular among this crowd. > I imagine you need to be brave enough to have a fair amount of $$$ tied up in ETH I only maintain exposure to USDC stable coin most of the time except during executing opportunities which usually completes in…

Thanks!

I wrote a primer on speculative poetry. Made $12 last quarter from sales on Amazon.

It's going to my retirement fund.

Have you watched Letterkenny by any chance?

No, I haven't. What's the connection to JUST SCREAM?

They have a lower-brow version of JUST SCREAM as the story arc for an episode. They make a website where people record farts, and then rate them.

very cool. Can I suggest you add a mail list feature to collect emails? I very much want to stay connected with you guys and get your latest news.

Thanks for the support! I haven’t thought about mailing lists so far. However, I am posting artworks regularly on social media (@ai_art_supreme on Instagram). Do you think mailing lists would make sense as I am mostly sharing the artworks and not so much the news content?

Following you on IG now. I just wanted a medium where your site and it's art work would bubble up on occasion since I'm not always buying artwork. I think IG is perfect considering you just share art work. Perhaps promoting the IG channel more on the website would help?

A mailing list is nice because you're actually collecting emails and can use them somehow in the future. You could collect emails and then send users a welcome email that also promotes your IG channel. It just wasn't obvious you have an IG channel. Hopefully this is helpful.

I made a web app that turns Google sheets into beautiful web pages in 3 easy steps. https://sheetUI.com it's still lacking in many ways, but I'm working on a V2 with paid features that'll be launched soon.

That is an unfortunate name.

You wouldn't be the first to point that out :) People who do find value in it don't really care about the name.

Stocks/funds like 401k, IRA, etc. Doesn't earn much but should compound over time.

All my software is free. I am trying to publish a children's book. I am also trying to sell a mother's day card idea.

So overall, I'm very unsuccessful. Maybe your execution of these ideas might be better.

I've continued running my Elixir screencast business, and added on a 2nd product, which is a starter template for apps built with the Phoenix Framework. Neither is 100% passive. The screen casting business means continuing to make a few new tutorials per month and making occasional improvements to its site. It sure pays a lot more per hour of my time than it did 18 months ago, though! The starter kit is still in alph…

where was the pricing, I did not see a link on the sites.

The screencast site is $21/month or $210/year (listed at the bottom of the /start page).

I don't put it front and center since my first goal is to get people to check out the free content, which is most of it. Eventually learners will usually try clicking on a premium episode, which is where the paywall shows up. The reason I do it this way is so that people will know exactly what they're getting when they sign up.

Also, even getting people learning from the 100+ free screencasts is a plus for me.

The other product is in alpha and the pricing is going up as I hit various milestones. It will probably max out around $250.
