I don't get what exactly he even sold 😭
Sounds like a sixty dollar course where he tells you how to make money without a 9-5
"do like me" hon hon

But honestly, this isn't actually bad advice for developers. Even if you have an amazing product, if your execution or marketing sucks it'll do mediocre at best. Meanwhile, there's real money ready for the taking if you go about solving problems that people actually have.
Example: a YouTuber I follow had some software read out text from a screenshot on his stream; he said he'd had that program built for that purpose. OCR and TTS model, output to audio source of the user's choice. Quite simple, an experienced dev could make a few hundred bucks on that.
Example 2: I'm pretty technically capable but I want a text to video generator and can't be bothered learning to set it up. I'm far from rich, but I paid someone $250 to build a simple prototype with a web interface and a model downloader.
Anyone can do this, the real work is finding those opportunities in the first place, and this guy is just saying to look closer to home for small simple jobs. Those small simple paycheques add up in the time you might have spent chasing a unicorn.
Yeah problem-solution oriented business is great. But also as we see with the LinkedIn lunatics, there's an obsession with being a business owner/entrepreneur that honestly hinders it. You're better off working ordinary jobs until you see a problem you're particularly suited to solve. Well unless you're an American with an engineering degree, in that case you can just bid on military contracts they have rules and stuff to make it easy for small businesspeople to soak their hands in blood, and they'll even usually give you plausible deniability. But yeah if that's not an option and all you want is to be an entrepreneur, save yourself some hassle and don't get a degree in cs or engineering or even business, get one in psychology/social work, medicine, or law or go to trade school. Way easier to make a living after founding a plumbing business than a software one
solving problems that people actually have
he didn't solve anybody problems
Kinda assuming pyramid scheme
Every time someone mentions X money over Y days on social media this is my immediate first thought. Second is that they're just lying for clout.
Premium, grade A bullshit.
Dude, what problem did you solve that net you 45k rupees in a week?
No verifiable info, just wild claims that seem too good to be true. Yeah, it's LI alright.
He has multiple posts shilling the same each in a different tone. As if someone gave ChatGPT a draft and asked it to product a different output each time. And of course the proper selfie at the end of each post, as the icing on cake.
But 45k rupees isn't a ton? Maybe it is in India, but in the US, that's about minimum wage ($12.50/hr).
It really just sounds like he scammed several friends who probably felt bad for him and wanted him to have some success. I highly doubt they felt the product was worth the price.
I think he deleted the "business idea goes here" placeholder instead of filling it in.
According to google just now, that's around $507 usd
€428.95
I make more than that in a week, and I work on an assembly line.
Yeah that's a bad assembly line job in a low cost of living part of America. Non union. Like bad enough you need a roommate
Yeah, I wouldn't even make rent if I was making $500 a week
PPP is different depending on countries. He is living in India. So, 45k INR a week is great in India and will very easily make rent for him here.
"People got it all wrong, they think they need
Something to offer.
To be good at anything.
To help people by fixing an actual problem.
Nonsense! Basically all you need is:
A lack of shame.
An understanding of something people hate like 9-5 grinds.
A willingness to complain-ramble about that complaint in like an inspiring way for a long time.
A payment portal where you offer expensive courses of vague individual-centered, probably-contradictory, not-solutions to fundamental systemic issues of modern life.
