IT + ecommerce. I speedrun my early investment money by paying someone on outwork to build a bot for craiglist scanning for keywords and selling the tool to resellers.
Literally called each reseller and told them about my product. Took me a couple dozen tries before I had the sweet spot. Sold a sub for 10 a month at the start, once I found second hand car dealers I upped the amount to 200 a month. First month was free no commitment. Product was simple. It literally send a whatsapp message to the reseller whenever a keyword with the price range dropped on craigslist. Did that for two years, dropped support in favor to use it internally as I had enough money to start a branded product and I had a rough idea of what was selling like hotcakes.
Opportunities are plenty but most people refuse to learn or outsource good ideas that actually can be an improvement.
Nowadays I sell my own branded projects. Made bank when influencers sold their audience for a nickel and a dime. I spend most my time getting baked and browsing the internet these days as I outsourced everything related to outreach.
The products are so simple any alibaba manufacturing place can make them and restock me within a couple weeks.
I dont listen to any andrew tate bla bla or watch podcasts or the likes. My old man is an engineer who helps me design metal products (for cars for example) and my accountant helps me on anything financial. Accountants are dirtcheap btw, and a true cheatcode. I paid 1200 this year and got 1000 back in tax returns. 200 to outsource all my financials, discuss ideas and free coffee 😎
