The money is in INR (Indian National Rupee) and 45 thousand will approx get you a Pixel 9a. So,there is that for comparasion :p
I don’t get what exactly he even sold 😭
Solutions!
But honestly, this isn’t actually bad advice for developers. Even if you have an amazing product, if your execution or marketing sucks it’ll do mediocre at best. Meanwhile, there’s real money ready for the taking if you go about solving problems that people actually have.
Example: a YouTuber I follow had some software read out text from a screenshot on his stream; he said he’d had that program built for that purpose. OCR and TTS model, output to audio source of the user’s choice. Quite simple, an experienced dev could make a few hundred bucks on that.
Example 2: I’m pretty technically capable but I want a text to video generator and can’t be bothered learning to set it up. I’m far from rich, but I paid someone $250 to build a simple prototype with a web interface and a model downloader.
Anyone can do this, the real work is finding those opportunities in the first place, and this guy is just saying to look closer to home for small simple jobs. Those small simple paycheques add up in the time you might have spent chasing a unicorn.
solving problems that people actually have
he didn’t solve anybody problems
He “Texted friends, families & communities I’m in.” I’m assuming his friends and family paid him a nuisance fee to go away.
So, he created a need (him to go away) and then sold a solution (him going away).
Kinda assuming pyramid scheme
Sounds like a sixty dollar course where he tells you how to make money without a 9-5
“do like me” hon hon
Premium, grade A bullshit.
According to google just now, that’s around $507 usd
Yeah, I wouldn’t even make rent if I was making $500 a week
PPP is different depending on countries. He is living in India. So, 45k INR a week is great in India and will very easily make rent for him here.
After a quick search, a dollar goes ~4x further there, so it’s closer to $50/hr. But these are likely one-time sales, and replicating that to anyone other than close contacts is unlikely.
Whether this is a good ROI depends on how long it took to make and sell the product and how many sales it can get. If it took him a month to make the product and these 8 sales are the only sales he’ll get, that’s still pretty bad by Indian standards.
€428.95
I make more than that in a week, and I work on an assembly line.
Yeah that’s a bad assembly line job in a low cost of living part of America. Non union. Like bad enough you need a roommate
I think he deleted the “business idea goes here” placeholder instead of filling it in.
Dude, what problem did you solve that net you 45k rupees in a week?
No verifiable info, just wild claims that seem too good to be true. Yeah, it’s LI alright.
He has multiple posts shilling the same each in a different tone. As if someone gave ChatGPT a draft and asked it to product a different output each time. And of course the proper selfie at the end of each post, as the icing on cake.
But 45k rupees isn’t a ton? Maybe it is in India, but in the US, that’s about minimum wage ($12.50/hr).
It really just sounds like he scammed several friends who probably felt bad for him and wanted him to have some success. I highly doubt they felt the product was worth the price.
the dog was the CEO! 😱
"People got it all wrong, they think they need
- Something to offer.
- To be good at anything.
- To help people by fixing an actual problem.
Nonsense! Basically all you need is:
- A lack of shame.
- An understanding of something people hate like 9-5 grinds.
- A willingness to complain-ramble about that complaint in like an inspiring way for a long time.
- A payment portal where you offer expensive courses of vague individual-centered, probably-contradictory, not-solutions to fundamental systemic issues of modern life.
- More bullet points.
So E-Z guyz. I’m creating so much value."
Well, I’m just a short circus of your trump on He Who Remains.
Beg your pardon but I’ve tried to parse this comment for a little while now and don’t understand what it means. Sorry? 😟
It’s like a card game on a computer that show’s the Yes Men working for Loki after his replacing the TVA’s OP to do a speel on a card that wasn’t a game until some ego specialist took the role to mock the whole shindig. I can’t tell if he’s failing on purpose or was even aware of his setup. Kind of like SMBC’s recent comic on why and how Hitler gets into Heaven.
Dunno bout y’all, but I’m still lost.
