Do you do it all yourself, or do you outsource anything? I'm impressed by the landing pages. Any tips?

Thats an interesting one which i have never thought about. So it would divide into 4 chapters and go in details for each - Problems to solve - Poduct/Solution - Growth/Marketing - Pricing/Business Model - Audience/Users Then at the end have assingment to build a microstartups based on whats learnt!
What’s your stack? Do you see yourself making a master class out of this or at least a YouTube channel?
I use Vue JS, Node JS and Go Lang. If i get enough interest, i would love to share my learnings and thoughts on youtube.

#47Have you actually made $100k+ yet or is this projected?
Based on the given timeline, it seems like it's projected unless he went from $100/day at the start of the pandemic to $300+/day by September 2020 (ie, in about 4-5 months).

I'm thinking about learning Vue and Go. When and why do you use Node.js instead of Go for the backend?

I pick the problems i personally face and then see if it can be solved and has potential to make a revenue out of it. Then i pitch the idea to few people. If atleast 50% got excited. I pick this idea to build.

We're all strangers on this forum. Half take the numbers at face value, the other half doesn't. The allure of this thread is the author's claims on revenue. I'm asking on behalf of the latter half of hn, that would like to believe but would like to see verification first.
$100K ARR is not really that out of the ordinary for something like this, I’m inclined to believe them without verification. One thing that bugs me, though, is that his solutions are in already very crowded spaces. It seems like it would be difficult to siphon off users without a significant marketing spend.
This, right here, is the marketing spend. I work in a bank in Hong Kong and look at me hearing about his mini craps ahah
