How One Millennial Made More Than $60K in 30 Days Without a Full-Time Job

I don't know what you want ME to say. I thought about doing the same sort of things before, even before kickstart. The most I did was write a couple books, and the latest one is currently just details I will put into a more palatable format, but I got sidetracked on a way of automating a lot of it.

It is a shame that I ran into a few problems, and somehow a model I created got destroyed. I recreated maybe 80% of my model and got sidetracked, but the data is gone. YEAH. I know. BACKUP. Anyway, the automation piece, ironically, has a lot of overlap with what nick did with his course. I PLANNED to get started on it again, but my server ended up getting exploited last weekend.

It is a bit dishonest to say he made so much in such a short time by offering a deal to invest through kickstarter over a limited period of time though. I mean it isn't like that will go on forever. He may do some other things, and likely take this off, and provide it as simply a course. And SURE, he will get paid more, but sales will probably start out slow, and might not speed up much. ALSO, it WILL peak. That could be 10 years from now, or it could be tomorrow.

So does it have potential? SURE! He is doing like 3 things that are tried and true!

1. WRITING a course to sell.
2. OFFERING it at a reduced cost on a popular microfinance site.
3. TEACHING on a popular site.

And apps are popular now. NOBODY thought to integrate them in a standard way, and NONE are compatible with the others. SO, to support the major players, you need to program at least 4 different ways! Nick is teaching only 1 of those ways, and it is probably only the 2nd most popular platform.
He definitely can branch out to the others.

He may even have hardcopy printed by lulu, and sell it all on amazon.

laurencewins,

People have been writing books, selling through larger companies, and teaching for a LONG time. HECK, some of the people using those sites are older than I am. And there are enough people teaching even while they are learning, though I would suggest that one have experience with a similar discipline, learns several steps ahead, and has an idea about the basics FIRST! People have EVEN gotten microfinancing, EVEN with relatively little experience. HECK, in the US, there is the SBA! https://www.sba.gov/ Though more formal, and a little less forgiving, they DO do, as part of their mission statement, the same microfinancing that kickstart does! Of course presales have ALSO been popular.

The internet, and free credit availability, HAVE provided options that weren't around even 20 years ago though. And IMAGINE! Even perhaps 30 years ago a lot of people didn't even have computers, much less program them.
