My little site made $4,096 USD in June And every project I’ve made before that? $0 Keep building and one day you’ll make something people need enough to pay for it!

I made howtoconvert.co It’s a universal file converter that performs conversions locally on your device.

Thought I’d try a post like @jackfriks and @marclou: I made $5,886 in April $5,886 from How to Convert $0 from my last failed project 🙈 $0 from the project before that 🤷‍♂️ Don’t give up. That next project could be the one that changes everything

Yeah, it’s not something to be proud of. Overworking people at the cost of their health for your company is pretty gross

My startup journey: 1. Spent 2 years learning to code by building a Flappy Bird clone, thinking I'd get rich 🤑 2. Released free with in-app purchases, profit: -$182 (thx Apple dev fee) 3. Got sad, but friends played it nonstop. It felt amazing seeing real people love

I'm convinced most of these accounts are just bots. Well... I hope so. Because it's crazy to think how uneducated people have to be to say something like that
