Building apps & businesses until one changes my life. Learning as much as possible along the way.

I want to eventually build things for a living. Businesses, SaaS, Apps and whatever else excites me. I want to make something big and earn the freedom to spend more of my time repeating the process.

I’ve been starting businesses since I was 13 where I built my first website. A niche telekinesis blog that earned pennies in Adsense revenue and just under $30 from eBook sales (a basic book I wrote😂). Eventually I sold that website for around $200 after writing a bunch of articles and ranking for long tail keywords.

From there I built and sold more websites for not a lot of money. Young me could’ve just got a job and earned a lot more through minimum wage but that wasn’t and still isn’t the dream.

I made over 5k on Fiverr over the next 4 years while I was in high school by selling eBooks and other products with resell rights that I bought from eBay and repackaged.

After high school I tried building a marketing business but all that led to was 1 copywriting freelance job that made me $80.

It took 6 years after that Fiverr success before I built an e-commerce store with a business partner that did 34k in revenue (not profit) and eventually was sold for 7k

I used the marketing experience I gained from that project to start earning a steady side income affiliate marketing over the past 2 years. It’s not enough to live off but it’s allowed me to cut back to 4 days a week working at my day job.

Now the goal is to keep building. Use all of that experience to make something that allows me to quit my job and just create full time.

I’ll use this account to document:

→ things I’m building
→ problems I’m trying to solve
→ launches
→ revenue
→ failures
→ what I learn along the way

Currently building: Tickza ✓

@launch_llama Do you see any negative effects from the algorithm replying that much?

[Dylan K @dylan_builds]

@MarioSaputra Not with apps yet but back when I was doing e-commerce I had a bit of success with both. The free credit offers make it pretty risk free to experiment with

@DeepPsycho_HQ Someone who follows no one isn’t influenced by outside opinions

Is this proof of time travel?

I need help with a new logo, I’m currently tossing up between these 2 designs.

Which one should I go with? Or should I come up with new?

@Tekeee POV: you finally work out how to use AI agents

[Dylan K @dylan_builds]

@UltraLinx Feel like that sort of defeats the purpose of switching off

[Dylan K @dylan_builds]

@craigweiss Was about to ask what made you think of this, I see you’re already passing on the blame though 😂

[Dylan K @dylan_builds]

@kesavantcm @RaminNasibov Better Call Saul straight after

@robj3d3 Surely make a video doing this for https://t.co/7cCy3S4Zu3

Sure, you can vibe code an app in a weekend.

Now vibe code this level of detail. I’ll wait.

@Jayyanginspires I strive to be this confident 😂

Obviously red, you’d just get a bunch of bitcoin in 2008. Not enough that it’d have a long term effect on the growth potential and destroy the market but enough to get rich. Then get into Nvidia, Tesla etc.

The hardest part would be getting the money at such a young age to invest

@jenzhuscott Claude’s on strike😂

[Dylan K @dylan_builds]

Here are some more detailed numbers of the past week for me

[Dylan K @dylan_builds]

Hit 50+ followers today and unlocked analytics. Pretty surreal considering I had 12 followers just 4 days ago.

I’m keen to have something else to refresh outside of Google Analytics, Revenue Cat and Clickbank 😂

Appreciate everyone who’s followed🙏

[Dylan K @dylan_builds]

Take note: if you solve a problem that everyone has, people will come.

Keep looking for new problems

Do you believe in your product as much as this founder believes in his?
