I made almost 50k online in less than 1 year !! 🤓👨🏻‍💻

This is my second year as solopreneur

Just vibe making

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

any books you recommend?

I was thinking shitposting will actually work

but doesn’t

I was just randomly posting without an story, without topics

that will work when you already have attention and eyes on you

but i need to learn the basics

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

question I have these days

has still value to show what are you shipping ?

maybe before it was special bc it was difficult

but now looks that doesn’t have value, like people doesn’t matter

at the end what they just matter it’s the numbers

show me the money

but good features, good ideas, solving complex problems, is gone

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

💰 Money lessons learned from my solopreneur journey:

- Have 6 to 12 months of living expenses and can’t touch it

- Diversify clients so no any of them represents more than 1/3 your income

- If your income drops 30% you can still pay for your living

i am pivoting to a solopreneur

so i just cloned myself into an AI

and will sell that to my clients now

199€ and 299€ /month plans

- tech agent: 199€
- marketing agent: 199€
- tech + marketing: 299€

it is similar to grok bot prices, so market prices

but instead using self hosted in Hetzner, and talk to bot via WhatsSapp

in 2017 when I first started learning “how to create websites”

all websites were wordpress + elementor

and they all looked the same

and right now using AI if you don’t specific any design/reference

they all feel same

so same as 10 years ago but with new tools, just increased productivity

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

maybe its just my perception, but it feels like it is lot of noise everywhere

how do you keep your focus?

i have screenzen for only entering social media in a window from 3pm to 9pm

but stills feels like i dont have the right focus..

and about productivity apps i tried them all, but always coming back to apple notes

feels like the more you want to be productive, the less you are

and what only matters at the end is:
- your discipline
- your plan
- doing the work

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

The goal was never money.
Money is a consequence and a tool.

What I want is freedom of choices:

- Freedom to prioritize health
- Freedom to prioritize my family
- Freedom to choose where I live
- Freedom to choose who I work with
- Freedom to travel and experience things

And I know that one day I’ll succeed on my goal just because I love what I do

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

i was wrong

all this time i have been a freelancer

i was still exchanging money with time

so now i am changing that, it’s time to become a real solopreneur

a 1 person business that still works while i sleep

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

hetzner cost optimized VPS servers are again available!

go grab yours

i have been using CPX22 (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM) for 3 months now

and completly replaced my Mac!

sometimes i was hitting limits for more than >5 concurrent sessions

but right now I took (8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM) just like my Mac air, except it doesnt have screen, browser, etc so it has more free workload

planning now creating an entire hermes squad

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

lessons learned from my first month posting on X

- find, follow and act with a purpose
- become a better storyteller
- share value or work that is useful for me

from now on i will apply, learn and keep going with those in mind

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

whats the difference between @bot and hermes?

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

1 month since i started posting here consistently every day

let’s keep going

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

just surf the wave 🌊 🏄‍♂️

50 years ago, the fields were worked by 50 farmers with picks and shovels all day in the sun

now it’s just 1 single guy driving a tractor sitting down with AC working half day

AI is same

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

this is who is running this account

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

anyone building apps fully from ipad ?

asking for a friend

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

north of spain in the summer :)

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

i want to connect with more solopreneurs doing <10K MRR

where are you 👀👇

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

“everyone can cook food at home, but restaurants still exists”

can we compare software with restaurants?

everyone can cook their own food at house

so why still exists restaurants?

they exists all kinds of them, chains, fast food, healthy, italians, spanish…

cheap ones, and expensive ones

maybe not a fair comparison

but trying to find a response that now everyone can cook his own software too

but you still go to restaurants bc is easy, is already made for you, is an experience

and similar, you still have Chefs, or authority persons, that always will have clients bc they cook the 3 michelin food for you, and that’s equivalent of someone with an audience and strong personal brand, distribution

and of course, it’s just a 1 time experience vs most of the time people will just cook at home

but, try to become that famous Chef where people will search for you, and have a waitlist of months to buy you 👨‍🍳

skills to learn now:

curation + convenience + reputation

taste + brand + expertise

so maybe now, you cannot sell to fitness people, they will prefer to cook themselves at home

so you still listen to what they want or still have a big market to sell them

[David Garcia @davidgrrcia]

should i buy this ? @openclaw @steipete
