waiting for @tiktok_us to call @FEIntl to help them find a US based buyer

Hey NYC friends 👋 FE is throwing an event for tech founders and investors in NYC next Wednesday (February 28th). Our RSVPs so far represent billions of dollars—and their stories are inspiring. Some *anonymous* examples: Guest #1 - sold business for +$100m, entirely bootstrapped Guest #2 - manages a team of +200 people remotely Guest #3 - raised nearly $1bn in funding in the last 10 years A great chance to meet other tech entrepreneurs and investors. @chrispmayo of the London Stock Exchange and I will be doing a fireside chat on exits & liquidity in the 2024 market. Tickets are free but limited. Apply for one below:

10 years ago I wrote a post on a popular marketing forum about how to make your first $1 online. Over 10 million people read it and it still works today, particularly on X/Twitter. Many people messaged me years later and are now making 7/8 figures. Haters will say it is fake :) Here's high level how it works: 1) build a website or landing page with a product (can be as an affiliate- this is easiest) or service that you can talk about. You can use something like @ThriveCart if you want to sell yourself. There are lots of ways to do this. If you can't figure it out yourself, you won't succeed 2) join niche communities (back then it was forums, today you could use Twitter just fine) and post valuable content and be helpful answering questions. Do not sell anything for the first 3 months! 3) start gradually promoting your site as part of answers while following the community rules. In forums this used to be in your signature, on Twitter it could be your bio. People buy from people so be helpful! 4) ignore people who hate capitalism and will complain you were only trying to make money 5) emulate the masters of this. @sweatystartup started years after my post but has nailed it on this platform 6) scale up once you make your first $1. If you do it right it should be within 1 week of your first posts promoting your site. If it doesn't work it is probably time to move on 7) if you can't write, make videos. If you can't do either, this won't work for you 8) see you in the 7 figure club!
