    What I learned spending $40k and one year launching my app.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    That's awesome! I'm assuming you mean physical gold and silver? Either way, sounds like something you could get up fairly quick with some no-code tools. One part that might be a bit tedious is setting up the payment accounts + transaction processing between users. But that shouldn't be too bad...

    Awesome! Glad you found it useful. Good luck with your app! You able to share anything about it yet?

    Depends on your background. If you have some notion of coding / computer science concepts already, you may be able to get by with starter templates, YouTube videos and extensive googling. If you’re brand new, it’s probably worth taking a formal course online. Last I remember, Codecademy was...

    I agree. Never going back to the old way! :cool:

    What I learned spending $40k and one year launching my app.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    After finding someone who was looking for a very specific solution, I worked directly with him to deliver something he found useful. (The use case is a reporting platform for Apple Search Ads.) I was able to code up static versions of the dashboards for him to use with each of his clients...

    Cool, will check out the Youtube series! Paid newsletter is an interesting idea. I see some people on Twitter doing that, but not really for me. My strategy going forward, sticking to the "profitable from day one" philosophy, is: 1. Find a problem in a niche community that can be targeted...

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Thanks! I just meant that, to keep the first version as small as possible, I could have let artists meet on the app and continue the conversation on, eg, Twitter or Instagram. Ultimately the app needed a "chat" function anyways, but adding that to the V1 feature list just delayed the...

    What I learned spending $40k and one year launching my app.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Thanks! Just launched on July 1st. Have several hundred users already, mostly due to the audience I built prior to launch. As far as profitability... that's the long game. Will be running some ads, but don't yet know how far that will get us. Also have some premium features, like a...

    Hi all, I'm am occassional browser, rare poster here. Earlier this year I posted about a music networking app I was building called Artyst. Well it finally launched just last week, so I thought I'd check in and share what I learned. Hopefully this will be useful to someone thinking about...

    The AI Entrepreneurship thread. Code AI? Interested in AI? Data Science? Machine Learning?

    HOT! 
    Hi all, just wanted to chip in as someone who works in this space. (Data Scientist) For those considering getting into the field, I'd recommend considering this article (especially point #8). Don't take it too literally - but this echos a lot of the commentary I've personally made about the...

    Building a new Software for Artifical Intelligence

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Shame about the Instagram business! Sounds like a cool idea. That still might be bootstrap-able if you get an initial user based that gives you access to their profile data (I'm assuming you were scraping posts). Regarding Resquire, my personal opinion is that your target audience and value...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished Unscripted over the weekend. Loved the philosophical bent this one had, not to mention the looser use of foul language, which keeps one engaged ;) Definitely a valuable dive into the mindset behind The Millionaire Fastlane.

    Thanks! I’m probably going to join Insiders soon and start logging progress there.

    Merging into the fastlane...

    INTRO 
    Yep, working on that mindset currently - delayed gratification in the financial domain. Was embarrassed of my resemblance to the guy from your limo story (Clooney, IIRC) - instead of the Vette, I opted for a Porsche Boxster at graduation. Not quite ready to give it up yet, but will be...
