Building startups while figuring out life.
$5.000 revenue with @voyasim
Sharing everything I learn along the way.

[Mac @MacdevM]

I’m Mac. In one month, I’ll be 23.

It’s been about a year since I started building my own products.

So far, I’ve made more than $3,000 from them. Around $2,400 of that came in the last 2 months.

But I don’t see it as 2 months of success.

I see it as 12 months of learning, building, making mistakes, trying again, and slowly getting better.

Right now, I’m working a 9-5 as a mobile developer with 4+ years of experience.

In my free time, I build my own products.

I’m also preparing to start my PhD in Turkey, which will be my first long-term move abroad.

And step by step, I’m starting to build my own family too.

Trying to do all of these things at the same time is not always easy. Sometimes I even sacrifice sleep for it.

But I don’t want to stop improving.

Seeing people like @marclou, @levelsio and @robhallam sharing their journeys online has also inspired me a lot. It reminded me that these things are possible if you keep going for long enough.

I’m going to keep this post pinned here until the day I can quote it and say:

I made it.

For me, that means making more from the internet than I make from my 9-5, having the freedom to travel, live in different countries, and spend more of my time building things I actually care about.

Until then, I’ll keep building.

And if you’re building something too, feel free to DM me. I’m always happy to help if I can.

See you when I quote this post.

AI video tools are getting insane.

Can't imagine the trends people will create with this 💀

[Mac @MacdevM]

@tyd3n_ We’re entering an era where imagination is the only limit to content creation.

[Mac @MacdevM]

@notmiramurati Huge potential🔥

[Darius Pop @tyd3n_]

kinda crazy how much money you could save just by using the right model for each task.

[Mac @MacdevM]

@tyd3n_ The future isn’t about having the smartest model. It’s about knowing which model to use and when.

[Amit Kushwaha @amitkushh]

most ai tools decide three things for you: their model, their pricing, their servers.

rakazo gives all three back.

using your best model to sort newsletters is like taking an uber to the fridge. here every bot gets its own model: claude for the hard work, something cheaper for the rest.

→ bots with real jobs: inbox, sales, coding
→ runs on a schedule, even when your laptop is off
→ you approve what it can do

You have 6 months to become employable in tech.
What would you focus on?

Worth to read, give it a shot🔥

[Darius Pop @tyd3n_]

Ever spent months building an app, only to get 10 downloads?

Meanwhile, a competitor with a worse app has thousands of users.

It's probably not luck. https://t.co/tRh3C5lwBt

@tyd3n_ You are absolutely my ASO guide bro!

@lenny_enderle Would love to hear your thoughts after reading it!

[Mac @MacdevM]

@tyd3n_ Yes! It’s not about the money, it’s about realizing there’s another way to live.

[Mac @MacdevM]

Just dropped the exact sauce.

No fake motivation. No “get rich overnight” BS.

Just a realistic roadmap to go from $0 to your first side income, escape the 9–5, and start building a life on your own terms.

Hope this helps someone take their first step. It is working for me, still on the validation step, let’s see what happens✌🏻
