전자책으로 6년만에 51억, 다니엘 바살로 Ai 1인창업의 성공비결 (통합본) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Daniel Vassallo, a former software
- 0:02engineer at Amazon Web Services, was
- 0:04earning a salary of $ 500,000 in 2019
- 0:06—over 600 million KRW—which was
- 0:09even higher than at SK Hynix today.
- 0:11However, he left all that glory behind
- 0:13to start his own one-person AI business
- 0:15, founding the business community Small
- 0:17Bets. Then, in April 2025, he sold it
- 0:20to the platform company Gumroad,
- 0:22instantly pocketing a total of $ 3.6
- 0:24million, about 5.1 billion KRW, and
- 0:26becoming a millionaire. Do you know
- 0:29what's even more surprising? It’s the
- 0:30fact that all of this was achieved in
- 0:32just one year. Is this unrealistic
- 0:34success only something that belongs to
- 0:36him? I will prove to you from now on
- 0:39that it is not, by precisely analyzing
- 0:40his success. After that, I will provide
- 0:44specific methods on exactly where to
- 0:47apply his successes to your own life to
- 0:49change it. I am confident that these
- 0:52next 20 minutes will change your life.
- 0:55Here is his first success factor. He
- 0:59never believed in luck. Instead, he
- 1:03approached success with extreme risk
- 1:05management that allowed not even 1%of
- 1:07luck, and a strategy that perfectly
- 1:09utilized the modern app ecosystem he
- 1:11knew best. Instead of reckless "
- 1:15all-or-nothing" one-person startups, he
- 1:17expanded his portfolio by trying
- 1:19multiple small-scale projects— "small
- 1:21bets"—that had the lowest risk and
- 1:23fastest execution, thereby building his
- 1:25own success strategy. And one point you
- 1:27should pay the most attention to here
- 1:29is this. It is the fact that instead of
- 1:31aiming for a jackpot from the start, he
- 1:33strove to build a stable revenue
- 1:35structure from the beginning, even if
- 1:36the amounts were small, through these
- 1:38various small attempts. I will reveal
- 1:41the two methods he used for this. The
- 1:44first was the thorough suppression and
- 1:46distribution of risk. He extremely
- 1:48loathed predicting which ideas would
- 1:50succeed in the market in advance, and
- 1:52he also believed that such prediction
- 1:53was absolutely impossible. Based on
- 1:56this hypothesis he set for himself,
- 1:58instead of starting a massive startup
- 2:00from the beginning, he made several
- 2:02small, independent "small bets"
- 2:03simultaneously—projects where failure
- 2:05wouldn't be a blow and he could easily
- 2:07stand back up. By executing multiple
- 2:09projects rapidly at the same time, he
- 2:11absorbed lessons about success for
- 2:13himself. And through those precious
- 2:15success processes he learned on his own
- 2:17, he judged for himself which ideas
- 2:19would succeed and which wouldn't work
- 2:21in the market, and by doing so, he
- 2:22controlled the factors of failure one
- 2:24by one as he started his business. His
- 2:27second success factor was low sunk
- 2:29costs. He absolutely despised the error
- 2:32that almost all failing founders commit
- 2:34. He didn't pour months or years into a
- 2:36single idea; instead, he quickly
- 2:38created and launched his own original
- 2:40content—digital knowledge products,
- 2:42e-books, lectures, and various
- 2:44electronic services—that could be
- 2:46executed within years, closely
- 2:47monitoring the market's response. If
- 2:49there was no response, he moved on to
- 2:51his next bet immediately without any
- 2:53hesitation. With this thoroughly
- 2:55calculated first success factor, he
- 2:57begins his second success factor like
- 2:59this. He did not choose the path that
- 3:03most creators take, which is to show
- 3:05only the final result after a long
- 3:07period of silence. From the moment he
- 3:10decided to quit his job, he turned the
- 3:12common concerns that every ordinary
- 3:14office worker faces—even the most
- 3:16trivial worries—into stories to write
- 3:18his first e-book, and he began building
- 3:20his fan base by sharing the entire
- 3:22process of generating even the smallest
- 3:24amount of revenue on his X account in
- 3:26real-time. Sales, screenshots, and
- 3:28failed experiences. He even began
- 3:30employing a strategy of extreme
- 3:32transparency, sharing the intense
- 3:34personal anxieties he was experiencing
- 3:36without holding anything back. And the
- 3:38public began to go wild over it.
- 3:40Through this, he secured one of the
- 3:42essential prerequisites for a
- 3:43one-person startup. He created a
- 3:45powerful catalyst for building a strong
- 3:47initial fandom that was ready to
- 3:49purchase his products even before they
- 3:51were released. This power has truly
- 3:53formidable destructive potential. This
- 3:55is because success within five years of
- 3:57starting a business depends on knowing
- 3:58how to use effective marketing
- 4:00techniques to reduce customer
- 4:01acquisition costs, increase the
- 4:03contribution margin per person, and
- 4:05expand that high-margin loyal customer
- 4:06base. While typical companies spend
- 4:10anywhere from billions to hundreds of
- 4:12billions of won on marketing—even
- 4:14local shops spend tens of millions of
- 4:17won a month to attract customers who
- 4:19may or may not show up—he managed to
- 4:21create a demand of 10,000 people in
- 4:23less than a year without spending a
- 4:25single cent. Although I didn't use the
- 4:29exact same method as him, I have had
- 4:31the experience of achieving the same
- 4:33effect through unconventional means, so
- 4:35I know very well how incredible this is
- 4:37. Be sure to remember this and
- 4:38definitely try applying it before you
- 4:40start your business. Having built such
- 4:42a solid demand, he began to think about
- 4:44what to sell using it. This is the
- 4:47third success factor he created. He was
- 4:51stubbornly obsessed with high profit
- 4:53margins. He was incredibly focused on
- 4:55efficiency. That is why he focused
- 4:57exclusively on digital assets that
- 4:59could generate very high operating
- 5:00profit margins. So, the first product
- 5:03he chose was an e-book that leveraged
- 5:05his unique expertise as an engineer at
- 5:07a large corporation, specifically the
- 5:09AWS infrastructure knowledge he gained
- 5:11while working on web services. That
- 5:14goes without saying, of course. You
- 5:16have to start with what you know best
- 5:17to minimize the risks. He then turned
- 5:20this into a pipeline and began focusing
- 5:22on digital content, such as lecture
- 5:24videos related to Twitter. He took full
- 5:27advantage of the fact that these
- 5:29knowledge-based products have no
- 5:31physical inventory and cost absolutely
- 5:33nothing to copy and sell once created.
- 5:35He was able to generate a 90%net profit
- 5:38margin without any significant starting
- 5:40capital. That’s how he was able to
- 5:42build this incredible business model so
- 5:45quickly. And based on this, he finally
- 5:47began expanding into a platform
- 5:49business. That would be his fourth
- 5:51success factor. He finally began
- 5:55expanding all the assets he had built
- 5:57up so far into a platform business.
- 5:59While doing this, he realized something
- 6:01. He discovered that the various books
- 6:04and courses he was selling or planning
- 6:07to sell would never bring him perpetual
- 6:09income, so he began to focus intently
- 6:11on finding ways to supplement this.
- 6:16Struggling to overcome the limitations
- 6:18of one-time revenue, he began to look
- 6:19for people who shared his concerns. But
- 6:22he soon found out. There were no
- 6:25communities or sites in the world for
- 6:26solo entrepreneurs facing the same
- 6:28problems as him, so he took action
- 6:30immediately. He created a "Small Bets"
- 6:33Discord community where indie hackers
- 6:34and solo entrepreneurs from all over
- 6:36the world who wanted to follow the same
- 6:38path could gather. The network effect
- 6:41of this was truly amazing. As the
- 6:44community became active, members began
- 6:46to gather rapidly, and a
- 6:47self-sustaining solo entrepreneur
- 6:49ecosystem began to form where they
- 6:51could give each other feedback and grow
- 6:53together. Now, even without Daniel
- 6:56Vassallo personally producing every
- 6:58piece of content, the community began
- 7:00to run with its own powerful
- 7:01self-sustaining force; this became a
- 7:03huge economic asset and a sustainable
- 7:05subscription business model that
- 7:07continued to grow. He finally found his
- 7:11cash cow. By analyzing these four
- 7:16success factors that make failure
- 7:18nearly impossible, I discovered the
- 7:20absolute rules for solo
- 7:21entrepreneurship that we must learn. I
- 7:25will now explain how to apply those
- 7:27methods to our lives, broken down into
- 7:29four steps. If you promote a product
- 7:32only after it’s finished, even your
- 7:34own family won't be interested. Do you
- 7:36know the biggest mistake amateurs make?
- 7:39It’s always hiding their work and
- 7:40keeping it a secret until they have a
- 7:42perfect result. And if the result is
- 7:44bad, they inevitably give up. However,
- 7:46we must gather people who like us step
- 7:48by step, right from the idea stage.
- 7:52From now on, please share what you are
- 7:54creating every single day across all
- 7:56your accounts—blogs, YouTube,
- 7:58KakaoTalk, and open chat rooms. Are you
- 8:01not sure what kind of content to share?
- 8:04I will now tell you exactly how to do
- 8:06that. I put together the table of
- 8:08contents today; what do you think? I
- 8:09encountered these errors while
- 8:11developing. I’ll be able to solve
- 8:12this, right? Wow! The first buyer has
- 8:14finally appeared. They say well-begun
- 8:16is half-done, so will a second buyer
- 8:18appear tomorrow? By sharing honest
- 8:21processes like these, I hope you
- 8:23actively secure early fans who can
- 8:25empathize with your journey and
- 8:26approach you with sincerity. Until when
- 8:29? Until it works. And there is an
- 8:31important tip for this. When gathering
- 8:33your fans, please avoid falling into
- 8:35the subscriber count trap. Even 1
- 8:37million subscribers are worse than
- 8:391,000 if they aren't active. Even if
- 8:41it's only 500 subscribers, actively
- 8:43strive to create a channel and fan base
- 8:45where over 90%are active. Oh, you say
- 8:47you’re already ready? Alright, then
- 8:49let’s move on to the third step. Oh,
- 8:51wait a second. Before that, I must tell
- 8:53you in advance that most people give up
- 8:55at this stage. Let me tell you why.
- 9:00Most people want to hit a jackpot as
- 9:01soon as they start. That was the same
- 9:03for me as well. I learned the wisdom of
- 9:05this precious principle—what not to
- 9:07do when starting a business—through
- 9:09golf. When I first learned golf, I only
- 9:13practiced driving, which looks
- 9:14impressive to others, and I believed
- 9:16that a good score started solely with
- 9:18the drive. Perhaps thanks to that,
- 9:21every time I entered amateur long-drive
- 9:23contests, I not only placed but
- 9:25frequently took first place. However,
- 9:27the problem was that whenever I went
- 9:29out to play on an actual course, I
- 9:31could never break 90. That’s when I
- 9:34learned a fatal error: a 300–400 yard
- 9:36drive is just one stroke. I had
- 9:38overlooked the fact that a 2-meter chip
- 9:40shot around the green is also one
- 9:41stroke. Furthermore, I overlooked the
- 9:44fact that a 50cm putt to sink it into
- 9:46the hole also determines my overall
- 9:48score as one stroke. In short, I had
- 9:51only focused on the drive—the long
- 9:53shot that feels like a jackpot from the
- 9:55start and looks impressive to others.
- 9:57The event that made me realize this
- 9:59incredible fact was an amateur
- 10:01tournament where, despite my 300-yard
- 10:03drives intimidating the other team
- 10:05members, one older gentleman remained
- 10:08completely unfazed. From the very first
- 10:11tee shot, he hit distances that the
- 10:13average woman would hit, yet he
- 10:14proceeded stroke by stroke without a
- 10:16single mistake, eventually becoming the
- 10:18runner-up in that tournament. I still
- 10:21cannot forget his composure to this day
- 10:23. On the field of success, a 50cm putt
- 10:26is one stroke. A drive of over 400
- 10:28yards is also one stroke. In the market
- 10:30of business and startups, you will
- 10:32never succeed just by hitting long
- 10:33drives. From now on, I will tell you
- 10:36the roadmap on how to manage each and
- 10:38every stroke to succeed in a one-person
- 10:39startup without failing.
- 10:43>> For your first project, I hope you plan
- 10:45and execute your own idea on a scale
- 10:47that can be finished within two to
- 10:48three weeks, or at most a month, by
- 10:50making the most of the time you have
- 10:52after work. Only when these tiny,
- 10:54individual strokes accumulate will your
- 10:56own success begin to burst forth. Let's
- 10:58take an example. If you are planning a
- 11:01massive web service, instead of
- 11:03developing a fully completed one, first
- 11:05test the market with a 20-page PDF
- 11:07e-book containing your know-how, a
- 11:09template guide made in Notion, or even
- 11:11a 10-minute VOD lecture, and most
- 11:13importantly, escape the impatience of
- 11:15wanting to succeed quickly. And the
- 11:18most important thing is to manage your
- 11:20emotions without ever stopping,
- 11:22consistently moving forward stroke by
- 11:24stroke toward the cup. While moving
- 11:26forward like that, prepare for the next
- 11:28step as follows. When people reach this
- 11:30stage, almost everyone thinks like this
- 11:33. They begin to worry about who would
- 11:35pay for their stories, or fear that
- 11:36people will leave before they even
- 11:38upload a video or an e-book.
- 11:39Furthermore, most people start to
- 11:41settle for these words of comfort. That
- 11:43sounds good. I’ll buy it when it
- 11:44comes out. Please, do not be touched or
- 11:46fooled by words like these. That is
- 11:48something only amateurs do. You are
- 11:49professionals. You are currently in a
- 11:51battlefield where dozens of people fall
- 11:54every single day. Never be afraid to
- 11:56truly test yourself. And true
- 11:58validation only begins the moment a
- 12:01wallet is opened. Let me tell you the
- 12:03action plan for this. Even if it's not
- 12:06perfect, try accepting pre-orders with
- 12:08conditions like a 50%early-bird
- 12:10discount, or try selling it by setting
- 12:12a very small price, such as 4,900 or
- 12:149,900 won. Then you will quickly find
- 12:16out if your planned products are trash
- 12:18or if they are the golden seeds brought
- 12:20by a swallow. And never try to win it
- 12:22all in one go. There is no need to be
- 12:24disappointed if no one buys it, and
- 12:25absolutely no reason to get arrogant if
- 12:27one or two people do. Keep the released
- 12:30products as they are, continue growing
- 12:32your channel, and prepare other video
- 12:33courses or e-books. Then, proceed with
- 12:36another launch using the same method I
- 12:39just mentioned. There is one rule you
- 12:41must follow at this stage. Accepting
- 12:44feedback. If not a single person buys
- 12:47it for three months, it is proof that
- 12:49the idea lacks demand or you haven't
- 12:51reached your target audience yet. At
- 12:53that point, turn away without any
- 12:55regrets and prepare for the next thing.
- 12:57If, fortunately, even one person buys
- 12:59the e-book, take their feedback
- 13:01seriously and upload your next product
- 13:03as soon as possible. And that is how
- 13:06you prepare for the final fourth stage.
- 13:09Basalla said that out of five dice
- 13:11rolled, four will inevitably fail in an
- 13:14unpredictable way. I would like to add
- 13:16one more thing to this based on my 22
- 13:18years of experience as a businessman.
- 13:19Even that limit is unpredictable. That
- 13:22is to never feel frustrated just
- 13:24because the first attempt failed. Does
- 13:26that sound too ordinary? Then why do
- 13:28almost all failed people fail because
- 13:30of this? Through my 22 years of
- 13:32countless successes and failures, I
- 13:34have realized one thing. Frustration is
- 13:37something you never get used to. Even
- 13:39with all my experience in success and
- 13:41failure, this YouTube venture I am
- 13:42doing now was a completely different
- 13:44story. It involved much more emotional
- 13:46regulation and emotional drainage than
- 13:48anything I had ever experienced. In my
- 13:50judgment, it feels even worse than when
- 13:52I fell into financial ruin. When I work
- 13:55desperately hard for days to make and
- 13:56upload a video, only for it to get
- 13:58fewer than 100 views, I can't even
- 13:59sleep, let alone manage my emotions. To
- 14:02avoid feeling frustrated, my chosen
- 14:04method was not to look at the view
- 14:06count graph that troubled me, but to
- 14:07move quickly to the next task. The only
- 14:11time I looked at that graph was to
- 14:14identify my mistakes and check how to
- 14:16upgrade my plan for the next video. As
- 14:20I always say, humility is a natural
- 14:22part of the process toward greatness.
- 14:25Instead of staring at failure, hurry up
- 14:27and prepare your second and third small
- 14:29bets. This is the answer to success.
- 14:32Before you know it, you will become
- 14:34like this. By weaving together various
- 14:38pipelines like e-book sales,
- 14:40small-scale consulting, newsletters,
- 14:42and simple software services (SaaS),
- 14:44you will complete your own solid,
- 14:45independent revenue structure. Are you
- 14:48feeling overwhelmed about how to get
- 14:50started? In the next video, I will hand
- 14:52you the spoon so you can feed yourself.
- 14:55Oh, and if anyone needs to use the
- 14:56restroom, please go quickly. Missing
- 14:58this won't just lead to regret, but a
- 14:59lifetime of poverty. Rita McGrath, a
- 15:02famous American management scholar and
- 15:03professor emeritus at Columbia
- 15:05University and Delft University, said
- 15:06this: That in the early stages of a
- 15:08business, rapid response to trial and
- 15:10error is far more important to success
- 15:11than foresight and planning. Even
- 15:15though Daniel Vassallo wasn't a
- 15:17marketing expert, he earned $ 40,000 (
- 15:19about 54 million won) just two weeks
- 15:21after launching his e-book, "AWS for
- 15:23the Impatient," and has now accumulated
- 15:26over $ 120,000 (about 160 million won)
- 15:28in total sales. Furthermore, his
- 15:31self-made Twitter course, "Everyone Can
- 15:33Build a Twitter Audience," became a
- 15:35massive hit, generating nearly $
- 15:36300,000 (400 million won) in revenue
- 15:38within just three days of its release.
- 15:42Based on this method, I will now share
- 15:44five specific marketing strategies we
- 15:46can implement. For the first 10 months
- 15:49after quitting his job, Vassallo didn't
- 15:50start by making a product. Instead, he
- 15:52focused first on securing a
- 15:53distribution network. This point is the
- 15:55most crucial key to starting a business
- 15:58without failure. The first thing he did
- 16:00after leaving the company was start his
- 16:02own Twitter (X) account. And he focused
- 16:05solely on this platform. He first set a
- 16:07goal of 10,000 followers. When he
- 16:10launched his first e-book, he had about
- 16:121,000 followers. While most founders
- 16:15create a product and then worry about
- 16:17how to promote it, he worked to secure
- 16:1910,000 potential customers ready to
- 16:21listen to him, and because of that 10
- 16:23months of effort, he was able to create
- 16:25the miracle of $ 17,000 in sales in
- 16:27just two days by simply dropping a
- 16:28purchase link. The second marketing
- 16:32strategy for this is to maximize
- 16:34anticipation and eliminate risk through
- 16:37pre-orders. He did not finish writing
- 16:39the perfect book before selling it.
- 16:41Instead of creating a completed version
- 16:43from the start, he began taking
- 16:44pre-orders with only the table of
- 16:46contents and a few initial pages. Do
- 16:48you know how brilliant of a strategy
- 16:49this is? It's because he made money by
- 16:52solving two things at once. The first
- 16:54is the psychological effect. He didn't
- 16:58receive sales bookings with a finished
- 16:59product from the start; he began taking
- 17:01pre-orders with only the table of
- 17:02contents and a few initial pages. He
- 17:04leveraged people's psychological
- 17:05triggers to his advantage. He threw it
- 17:08out there to people, saying, "I'm
- 17:09writing this book, and if you pre-order
- 17:11now, I'll give you a discount," and he
- 17:13began sharing the entire production
- 17:14process in real time until the book was
- 17:16finished. Watching people pre-pay even
- 17:19before the book was completed, he was
- 17:21able to see with his own eyes and
- 17:23confirm the strong demand for the
- 17:25market he wanted to enter. What was
- 17:28even more surprising was that these
- 17:30pre-order users, whom even Basalo
- 17:32hadn't expected, voluntarily spread the
- 17:34word and even acted as marketers before
- 17:36his book was officially released, a
- 17:38very unexpected result. Once we reach
- 17:42this point, we can now use the fourth
- 17:43and next-step marketing strategy. And
- 17:46this fourth strategy is the one I
- 17:48admired the most. It was using a
- 17:51Twitter funnel. The secret to this
- 17:54fourth marketing strategy he revealed
- 17:56is the fact that he operated his
- 17:58Twitter profile like a landing page. In
- 18:00doing so, he mentioned the following
- 18:02two things. The method is like this. He
- 18:05took his best-performing posts, like
- 18:07his resignation from Amazon or his
- 18:09income verification posts, and pinned
- 18:11them right to the top of his profile.
- 18:14The reason this is so great is that as
- 18:16people see his posts or related daily
- 18:18tweets, they naturally look at his
- 18:20profile, and their curiosity leads them
- 18:22to get excited about his tweets all
- 18:24over again. And he didn't stop there;
- 18:27he used the following marketing
- 18:29strategy. He used an inbound strategy
- 18:33through comments. When attracting
- 18:35people, the most important thing is to
- 18:37gain people's attention by posting
- 18:38helpful videos, articles, or tweets.
- 18:42Only by building trust with subscribers
- 18:44first do more people visit, and through
- 18:47the profile headers, pinned tweets, or
- 18:49bio blurbs created this way, he could
- 18:51quickly build a sales funnel that
- 18:53naturally leads them to the e-book
- 18:55sales platform link for payment. And
- 18:58the fourth marketing strategy I am
- 19:00about to tell you is the secret to how
- 19:02Basalo became a millionaire in just six
- 19:05years. He used a very radical pricing
- 19:08experiment strategy. Basalo never
- 19:11insisted on just a fixed price. He
- 19:13tested a wide variety of prices that
- 19:15stimulate market psychology. He posted
- 19:19a very radical flash sale tweet on
- 19:21Twitter saying, "For just 60 minutes,
- 19:24exactly one hour, you can take all my
- 19:26digital products by paying whatever
- 19:28price you want, starting from a minimum
- 19:30of just $ 1." What was the result? It
- 19:35was beyond a huge success. This
- 19:37unconventional experiment generated
- 19:39massive retweets and virality within
- 19:41the Twitter ecosystem, acting as a
- 19:43catalyst that instantly turned
- 19:44countless hesitant potential customers
- 19:46into actual buyers. This is the fifth
- 19:49strategy he used at that time. He used
- 19:54title positioning that precisely
- 19:56targeted the audience's deficiencies.
- 19:58If you look at successful product
- 20:00modules, you realize that from the
- 20:02title alone, they accurately address
- 20:03the target and their pain points. First
- 20:06, let's look at his e-book. Addressing
- 20:07developers exhausted by hundreds of
- 20:09complex AWS features, he conversely
- 20:10suggested that there was no need to
- 20:12learn everything. He used a highly
- 20:14intuitive title, "The Good Parts of AWS
- 20:16," by saying, "I’ve worked at Amazon
- 20:18for over 8 years, and I found you only
- 20:20need to know this much." Then, what
- 20:23about his course? He presented the
- 20:26public with the copy, "Anyone can build
- 20:28a Twitter audience," by proving his own
- 20:30real data and the entire process of how
- 20:32he, a former engineer with no marketing
- 20:34experience, gained tens of thousands of
- 20:36followers in a short time. In other
- 20:39words, he delivered a very simple yet
- 20:41powerfully persuasive message: "If an
- 20:42ordinary engineering student like me
- 20:44could do it, you can too." However,
- 20:47I’m not sure if the "you can do it
- 20:48too" message still works in today’s
- 20:50era. Regardless, to summarize, his
- 20:54marketing method was to strategically
- 20:56share the entire process before results
- 20:58appeared to gain trust and followers
- 21:00first, then release products the
- 21:02audience truly wanted at the right time
- 21:04based on that trust. To this end, I
- 21:07will now explain in detail the actual
- 21:09sites Basalo used, categorized by
- 21:11purpose. The first is the community for
- 21:14solopreneurs and indie hackers. It is a
- 21:16global stage where independent
- 21:18entrepreneurs and indie hackers like
- 21:19Daniel gather to share ideas and
- 21:21promote their products. Introducing the
- 21:23two most representative sites, Product
- 21:25Hunt is one of the most famous and
- 21:27influential platforms where tech
- 21:28builders from all over the world launch
- 21:31new software or digital products and
- 21:32receive votes. Daniel's product was
- 21:35also introduced here and went viral. It
- 21:38is Indie Hackers. Indie Hackers, which
- 21:41you are seeing now, is like a mecca for
- 21:43solopreneurs and indie hackers who
- 21:45generate revenue on their own without
- 21:47any external investment. It is also the
- 21:49place where Daniel Basalo gained
- 21:50significant initial recognition by
- 21:52sharing his revenue and strategies. And
- 21:54the next four sites I will introduce
- 21:56from now on are sites that will be good
- 21:58references for you when getting ideas.
- 22:01Software Engineering Daily is one of
- 22:03the most famous technology and career
- 22:06podcasts among developers. They started
- 22:08covering his resignation story as a
- 22:10former Amazon engineer and his
- 22:12development philosophy here. If you dig
- 22:15into this, you will be able to see
- 22:16where to expand your ideas. Next is
- 22:19Software Sessions. Dot com. This is a
- 22:23podcast channel that discusses
- 22:25practical stories of software
- 22:26development and solo builders. Their
- 22:28real concerns are all gathered here.
- 22:30Next is Michael Liners. Dot com. Com.
- 22:34This place covers the insights of those
- 22:36who, like Daniel Vassallo, quit their
- 22:38jobs and went independent, including
- 22:39the famous solo creator from Netflix,
- 22:41Michael Lin’s blog. The dot com
- 22:43platform covers how to write books or
- 22:45create digital assets as a side hustle
- 22:47while working, making it a very useful
- 22:49site for those trying to make seed
- 22:51money with e-books. Daniel has also
- 22:53introduced his e-book success formula
- 22:55here. And for your reference, I will
- 22:57also provide Daniel Vassallo's personal
- 22:59business product sales site so you can
- 23:01get some ideas. Both are key links
- 23:03where Daniel either operates directly
- 23:05or has generated huge profits by
- 23:07selling his digital assets. This site
- 23:12is Daniel Vassallo’s digital nomad
- 23:14business itself. It is the payment
- 23:17landing page where he sells the AWS
- 23:18e-book and the Twitter
- 23:20audience-building VOD courses that were
- 23:22big hits. Community INC is the official
- 23:27sign-up page for the Small Bets
- 23:29business community, the core business
- 23:30he runs. If you have found the courage
