you can find something interesting. data always tells an interesting story if you look close enough :)

duh. anything that surprised you?

ask the guy who i linked to (the buildsell30 guy) but google is your friend. or reddit groups or twitter where people spam discord links. i know one called fractal discord by justin kan (twitch co-founder)

you have to literally do some manual work to get them. it'll be a grind but totally worth it imo.

there is a book by wes bush called "product-led growth: how to build a product that sells itself" [1] & also a great youtube channel [2]

you'll also like victor eduoh who nails the topic "product-led storytelling" i read his ahrefs blog & it was gold!

launching a company doesn't have to take years to take off.

just build a scrappy mvp in a week & find people who are willing to pay for it.

you say you are great with automation & making bots. someone just coded up an nft bot & sold it in 17 days [1]

nft is all the rage so you might be able to cook something similar & sell it on microacquire [2] which helps a lot of saas get a modest exit (< billion-dollar exit)

you can build a bunch of micro-saas & sell it on microacquire. of course, it's harder than i'm making it to be but start. hopefully, you might strike gold!

i think web3/crypto/nfts is a good space to be in for bots so find a problem there or check forums like reddit/discord/twitter where people talk a lot about web3/nfts or acquisition marketplaces like microacquire to get ideas as what people are building

Cool to see more competition to Headless UI [0] by the Tailwind guys

[0]: https://headlessui.dev/

I'd go for https://www.discourse.org/ if you are hosting a long-term project where SEO & UI matters.

If it's a dev blog, then go https://utteranc.es/ or https://giscus.app/

I use Giscus :)

Duolingo story is fascinating. The guy created a software which then became Google Captcha.

He is a legend in crowdsourcing 2 startups. The best part about crowdsourced startups are they inherently create MOAT.

You can use it to curate listicles.

Imagine your marketing department needs to create a list of websites that have run their PR campaign. They can keep that data in Airtable or Google Sheets.

The developer then displays on a simple webpage in a card like https://nomadlist.com

There are sites like https://sheet2site.com & https://table2site.com that automate this feature.

You can also create custom apps with it. https://pory.io/ automates it.

The next thing is building a full-blown civilization on Mars.

That's why Elon Musk wants to get so rich. You need like $1 trillion to build a sustainable city on Mars.

Rich people would pay $10m+ to go to Mars. It's a once in a lifetime ride.

- Instagram piggybacking off of Twitter & Facebook to grow their own network

- Imgur piggybacking off of Reddit & then grew into their own platform

- Red Gifs piggybacking off of Reddit NSFW sites to post short porn clips (idk if it'll be successful to monetize though)

That's the hard part & the most tricky as well. As when the product you are making is so simple to make, then marketing is the only differentiation. On a related note, read this blog post → https://www.allencheng.com/starting-a-business-around-gpt-3-...

You need to make something that hasn't been done before so you'll have interest from people as GPT-3 is hyped up now. Spend less than the users will pay you. At first, you need to concentrate on getting customers. Most people use AppSumo lifetime deals but I think they're only good for funding your startup initially without VC money.

Otherwise you can go the VC route & get funded if your idea has legs.

Distribution/marketing is the hardest part in GPT-3 based biz but if you do it right, you'll print millions for sure.

Yes. Apply for access & if they feel generous, they'll give it to you :)

No problem. It's the best thing you can do to get profitable ASAP but remember to make something useful. Just sticking GPT-3 to anything won't work either. It needs to be something meaningful.

Frankly, those idea bots are useless. You have to spend so much time on them to see the good ideas vs the bad ones.

Even some people who manually tell others ideas are useless as they don't say anything about execution plus they haven't spent a reasonable amount of time on thinking how it could all go wrong. They just spend 5 mins thinking & put it in their idea list.

This looks really good but your site example is down. Looks incredible though :)

Build something around GPT-3. It's still nascent. Only a handful are profitable.

The top one is making $100k MRR in just 7 months → https://twitter.com/deadcoder0904/status/1398141109075730436...

One sold for ~$1m when it had $20k MRR in 8 months of launch → https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1377095814963589125?lang...

Another smaller one sold for $4k with $100 MRR → https://twitter.com/heyyfernanda/status/1398679798281605120?...

There are many others getting funded because of GPT-3 → https://twitter.com/kearonis/status/1378832191413702663?lang...

So I'd suggest building it around GPT-3 as it's just a bunch of API calls. Make it profitable & sell it if it's a life-changing amount. The hype around GPT-3 is at an all-time high so big exits should be easy.

And if you want ideas, just copy one of the popular apps & offer it with a discount or make it 10x better → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opkHJLVAM4A

Read the Paul Graham essay on ideas → http://paulgraham.com/startupideas.html

You need to solve a real problem so you get paid by people. I have been at it for ~4 years with nothing to show for it so my suggestion is to fail fast.

I have hopefully figured out now how to make a SaaS successful so I should be good for now but you don't waste time. Start now. Fail fast. Use SaaS templates like Bedrock & Style it using Tailwind UI so you can focus on the core logic.

Time in the market always beats timing the market.

Doge peaked but it can still go up when there's Elon Musk behind it. That man can move markets with his 55 million Twitter followers.

There's all kinds of coins blowing up. These are mostly shitcoins but they do provide 100x returns for some.

I recently read a thread when someone turned their $2k investment into $1m in 1 month by investing in SafeMoon.

Coins like this are popping up everyday. There's also a burst of revenge coins like https://www.fckyousarah.com/ when someone's GF cheated on him so he made a revenge coin dedicated to her. And people are loving it as it's really stupid & hilarious.

Ha, I recently asked one such question & did not expect to see this so soon: "Ask HN: How do you spot trends in Crypto before it blows up?" → https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27219070

How does this work in theory?

Where did you get this data from?

I did `cat about` I think which was the wrong thing to do. Didn't know that was a folder. It works fine.

Yep, I did `cat about` I think which was the wrong thing to do. Didn't know that was a folder. It works fine.

This is so fucking cool. `cat` doesn't work in Terminal. Probably put a bunch of basic commands for someone curious.

> One highly successful software entrepreneur is burning through something like $80 million in venture funding in his latest startup and has practically nothing to show for it except for some great press clippings and a couple of beta customers — because there is virtually no market for what he is building.

Who was he talking about? Anyone has any clues?

Thank you, your comment made me check the summary of it & I found a good one on Farnam Street → https://fs.blog/how-to-read-a-book/

Now I gotta give that book a shot :)

There is GPT-Neo although it doesn't have as many parameters as GPT-3. You can also check out this awesome resource → https://www.reddit.com/r/GPT3/comments/mj5nn0/gpl_prompts_re...
