Hi,

I am going Fastlane with lots of time constraints due to having a family with 2 kids and a doing full time job to provide for them.
My background story is here: INTRO - Intro

Due to time constraints, I can only focus on building projects that can eventually run automatically.

Projects that make money
Niche job board #1 - live for 4 years, monetized for 3 ~ 10K total = 90% automated, costs 30 mins per day max
Niche job board #2 - live for 3 years, monetized for 3 ~ 1.5K total = 90% automated, costs 4 hours per month max

I've coded a basic system to create niche job boards. This system is not fully automated (yet). I can highly recommend creating a job board if you want to learn how to code. Make one for your niche and get involved in that community. Its quite boring, takes time, but they can be automated to run forever and make money. They key is to finding a niche that has a high return (I am still searching).

Failed projects so far
Events website
Community/News website
Niche job board #3

Currently building
Curated directory website, will also serve as marketing channel for other projects

Backlog
Tiny SaaS #1 - never coded a saas before, this one fixes a small problem I noticed in my day job and competition already exist.
Tiny Saas #2 - a.i. related so a gpt wrapper, meaning no real moat - have to see if its worth it.
Medium SaaS #1 - more complex, so starting with tiny saas first.
Improving job board system to increase automation.

This thread is to just post updates and hold myself accountable
