    It seems weird to presell a subscription service unless I offered some type of lifetime subscription or something. This is a possibility but I am really not sure on the timeline for when this will be finished. I like coding because the barrier to entry for my competitors is either a ton of...

    6/12/2020 -Eagerly awaiting for someone to help me on stack overflow there are some other things I can do in the meantime but this is really holding me back from continuing to code.

    Even if for some reason this didn't work out I am improving my web scraping skills so much where I just know I could use it to come up with another idea. I already have a couple but I am going to keep pushing on this 100%. Sometimes I wonder if my fiance is slightly bottlenecking me on...

    6/11/2020 -The website I was scraping just updated to a dynamic Javascript website so new scraping methods had to be implemented. -I rewrote the code to use Splash a headless browser like Selenium that can wait for Java script to load before grabbing the html. -Gave suggestions to Upwork...

    Great suggestions guys! I should certainly come up with a customer profile. I am very confident people will want this product but in my geographical area, it doesn't exist yet. It's essentially an easy way to make money and is 100% not a scam or some bs course. I am spoonfeeding the...

    6/10/2020 -Forgot to post my progress in here yesterday but still working to transition my code to the scrapy framework, it's a pain now but it's going to pay off in dividends in the long run. It will make adding new data sources to the pipeline way easier, increasing scalability.

    I really have a lot of confidence that this is going to work out if I put the work in. Thinking about Unscripted there is so much time coding or money if you hired someone to do it that I know there aren't going to be many competitors popping up unless they put in some serious time/money.

    6/9/2020 -Since I am going to have to use selenium on a delay I think I am going to have to convert the script to scrapy so I can crawl with multiple spiders at the same time. If I don't I will likely have outdated information and long script run times before looping. -Swapping over all my...

    6/8/2020 -As I suspected it will be more useful for me to use the Scrapy framework instead of Beautiful Soup. This is going to require some time upfront to learn how to rewrite the code but from what I understand it will tremendously improve the reliability and scalability of the script. -Nah I...

    Awesome advice! I have an idea of how I want to do this now to just focus on one area and launch the product.

    I could probably spend a year working on this perfecting it. Is it better to get out a decent product quickly and start to make money while improving along the way? Or release a perfect product at a later date?

    6/7/2020 -Spent a ton of time today trying to get the script to run on Raspberry pi boot with no avail. I think I am going to manually run it on the Raspberry Pi and a cloud solution like Heroku so I have a backup if one fails. The script auto deletes duplicates so this shouldn't be a problem...

    No subs yet I want to make the website and database/script work reliably and be a good looking finished product before it goes live. I already have a coworker that is really excited and have some friends excited about it. The website still needs to be completely designed. I plan to offer a...

    Using matched betting or arbing you can make money with no risk if you are smart about your account. If they see you are doing it they will set your max bet to $0. I made a couple thousand bucks with maybe two hours of work doing matched betting on all the sign up bonuses in my state. A large...
