🚨Anthropic just showed a 24-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude.

Taught by the people who built it.

Free. No registration. No paywall.

I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes.

Watch it and bookmark it now.

MAJOR STRAITS OF THE WORLD

Habits that have a high rate of return in life:

@readswithravi Well said. Hidden value is gem which most people cant see.

[Starter Story @starter_story]

When EVERYONE can spin up claude code & build apps...

Winning becomes even easier.

Why?

Because only 1% will:

> get it production-ready
> talk to customers
> handle support
> ship v2, v3, v10
> show up every day
> & stick with it for years

It's like the gym.

Millions sign up. Very few see results.

sat next to a guy on a flight who smelled like old money

rolex. tailored suit. reading a physical newspaper like it was 1987.

figured he was some finance executive or inherited wealth.

we got talking. I mentioned I sell stuff online.

he put down his newspaper.

"what kind of stuff?"

digital products. courses. ebooks. that kind of thing.

he smiled weird.

"I made $4 million last year selling a PDF about aquariums."

I thought he was messing with me.

he wasn't.

this guy is 61 years old. spent 30 years as an accountant. hated every second of it. retired at 55 with decent savings but nothing crazy.

his hobby was aquariums. had been keeping fish tanks since he was 12.

"my wife told me to start a blog so I'd stop boring her with fish facts."

so he did. wrote about aquarium stuff 3 times a week. water chemistry. tank setups. fish compatibility.

for 2 years nobody read it.

"I had maybe 50 visitors a month. all probably bots."

but he kept going because he had nothing else to do.

year 3, one article ranked on google. then another. then another.

suddenly he was getting 100K visitors a month. all people searching for aquarium help.

"I realized these people would probably pay for a complete guide. so I wrote one."

147 pages. everything about setting up and maintaining an aquarium.

priced it at $47.

first month: $6K
first year: $340K
last year: $4.2 million

from a PDF about fish tanks.

I asked about his marketing strategy.

"I don't have one. google sends people to my blog. blog mentions the guide. people buy it. I go play golf."

no email sequence?

"I have a newsletter. I send fish tips once a week. sometimes I mention the guide at the bottom. that's it."

no upsells?

"I made a second guide about saltwater tanks specifically. $67. people who bought the first one usually buy the second. that's my whole business."

no team?

"my wife helps with customer service. we get maybe 10 emails a day. most are just people showing us their tanks."

this 61 year old retiree built a bigger business than most "entrepreneurs" I know.

no ads. no funnel hacks. no growth strategies. no personal brand.

just mass expertise in one weird niche and patience to let it compound.

before we landed he gave me advice I didn't ask for:

"everyone your age wants to get rich fast. that's why most of you stay broke. I wrote about fish for 2 years before making a dollar. now I make more than I did in 30 years of accounting. speed is overrated. patience pays."

the plane landed. he grabbed his newspaper and walked off.

probably went home to feed his fish.

13 examples that will blow your mind (Don't miss the 5th one):

[Vijay Shukla @vijaywater]

संवारने कल, कुछ सुधारने आज,
दूर-दूर से आए सब प्रयागराज ।
कुछ भक्तों पर फिर क्यों गिरी गाज,
क्यों दंड उनको जो करते प्रभु-काज।।

कहीं पुत्र बिछड़ा, कहीं पिता खोया,
कहीं हँसता जोड़ा, वियोग में रोया ।
क्या इतना मलिन पाप, जो न गया धोया,
क्यों टूटा सपना जो वर्षों से संजोया।।

होंगे लुढ़के कुछ,कोई गिरा होगा बिचारा,
भर-भर के आँसू, सबने तुम्हें होगा पुकारा।
भक्तों के सखा तुम, बनोगे निर्बल का सहारा,
कैसे मानूँ चली मर्जी तुम्हारी, तुमने उनको मारा ।

तुम तो हो दयानिधि, ममता के सागर,
क्यों गिरे नहीं अश्रु तुम्हारे हे करुणाकर !
शायद प्रसन्न तुम उन्हें जल्दी बुलाकर,
पर बता दो कैसे जियें अपनों को गँवाकर ।।
