→ original 2023 goal: earn $1 on the internet ✅
→ adjusted 2023 goal: earn $1k/mo ✅
my next goal is 10k/mo but is it ambitious enough?!
(jkjk I won't go for $100k/mo, let's make it $1mil/mo! lol)

Guys, I’m scared of launching on PH 🫣
- my first time
- it’s a big deal
- worried won’t get votes
- might launch with too strong competition
- is the product ready?
- there’s sooo much prep
- gotta wake up very early (not sleep?) and stay up 27h lol
- can I handle the traffic?

just stumbled upon a curious fact:
every OpenAI API key contains a string of characters "T3BlbkFJ".
go ahead, check all your keys!
why is this string there? because "T3BlbkFJ" is "OpenAI" in base64.

I crossed $15k in loss
end of March I went indie full time and since then I live off savings
my apps bring some revenue but I invest 100% of it back - not paying myself anything yet
still a lot runway left, so I’m not worried about survival

just stop calling yourself “indie” and become an “entrepreneur” :)
being an indie maker is a lifestyle thing now, and if you want to compete as influencer then indeed good luck
you won’t see the many of those who are actually earning money because they have only 56 followers
Hot take: 99% of us will never make a living from indie making
