Code a basic idle game, they're addicting and tons of people love watching numbers grow on idle games. People will often sink some pretty large amounts of cash into idle games. I've been around them for years and they are where its at. Don't even need graphics, if so then you don't need many graphics. Just text and numbers. People are addicted to watching numbers grow.
The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich " . These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.
It is remarkable how much long term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies.
Many individuals report success in investing in stocks, forex, and cryptocurrency (Bitcoin), yet I continue to struggle. Can somebody help me out or advise me on what to do?
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others. As an investor, you should've known that by now that nothing beats experience and that's final. Personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to $35k, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I'm buying again.

K 35 seconds in and you have to give the video guy a raise. Some of the best work I’ve seen. Anywhere. Excited to watch the vid. Love our man and you provide such valuable content. Thank you 🙏 ❤
thanks for the content man Im computer science graduate and thinking about starting a saas business I got the abilities to build it but its not simple to find the right problem and to get the validations we will keep on trying :)
Love the approach of having them checkout, and not charging them to validate the idea. I'm starting a small business here in Cocagne doing some fine craft exhaust products for exotic cars. (I know, not the same wheelhouse) I always look forward to watching your content, to see what I can pluck from it to apply in a similar way. Thanks for doing this type of content. Really helps open different roadways to thinking. 👍 Appreciate it.
This is some MBA level knowledge for free. I wish I would have got this 3 years ago, anyways this would for sure be a life saver. Great work sir, thanks on behalf of hustling community.
I wish i learnt most of these principles about seven years ago. A lot of people have been trapped strongly in the matrix-- Go to school, get a job, and then slave your whole life. Many miss out on life-changing information that could have great effect on their finances. Sometimes Protecting your capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if you lose your capital, making money is much harder. ''Missing the train'' vs. ''losing your money''. There are a lot of trains, but if your money is gone, it's over.
Many overlook that banks are return-driven businesses. I don't trust keeping a large sum in a bank. Instead, I invest with guidance, enjoy the benefits, and save for retirement.
After the '08 financial crisis, I've learned not to trust corporations. Since 2020, I've been investing with a financial advisor and have had no major losses, so I'm not going back to relying solely on banks.
The decision on when to pick an Adviser is a very personal one. I take guidance from Annette Marie Holt to meet my growth goals and avoid mistakes, she's well-qualified and her page can be easily found on the net.
This is amazing content! I was about to click away as we are not 'starting from scratch' and a long way into the build, but the tactical tips in this video are such high value. There is more information in here than a $15K course. Honestly. Your videos are just getting better and better DM!
i learned so much from this app or even software building is insane its alot of little details but it can be done with the right drive and desire to succeed
Every crash/collapse brings with it an equivalent market chance if you are early informed and equipped, I've seen folks amass up to $1m amid economy crisis, and even pull it off easily in favorable conditions. Unequivocally, the collapse is getting somebody somewhere rich
Sonia Campbell was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Sonia campbell.
as great as the speaker and his content are, I'm fascinated by the background audio right now. I want to learn this level of content production, without having to be the man talking/selling. What genre would you describe this background music as? I'm also starting a SaaS business plan, so the content itself is powerful.
@@danmartell Yes, but thinking about it for a coaching company too - what if we keep seeking out the people or groups where our clients are, and use your suggestions to hack our client growth there? :)
This is real, practical advice. Everyone seems pressured to jump into building the next big thing and finding investment but starting with consulting seems more doable, bills can be paid. Can you share your thoughts on growing your consultancy vs developing a product? Thank you for your great content.
This is an awesome consultive video! An extreme ton of value. We are in this process. I seen some of our success and some of our mistakes. Appreciate you. 👊
Thoughts on the best SaaS vertical, and thoughts on legal tech? I'm about to start asking local business owners about their problems. Should I ask everyone or focus on a specific industry first?
I know that many of you who are watching do not like to read books, but I found a book called 'The Hidden Truths Of Wealth by Oliver Mercer', and no it's not some bullshit law of attraction, it really changed my life
Micro-influencers as affiliates are way easier to accomplish because there are millions of them and nobody is throwing affiliate money at them. Example, 20 desperate micro influencers each with 10K followers. That's 200K traffic potential that nobody else is tapping into. The big-shot influencers won't partner or have big egos and want massive money.
Naomi Dean stands out from other brokers because of her realistic approach, unlike those who often set unattainable targets and fail to deliver. She's truly unique!

Which stack did you use to buy most of your systems? I'm thinking about going back to developing in JS and using the whole JS stack for mobile and web app (React, Node.js and React Native). But I'd like to know if you'd be willing to give any insight on that.
Great content Dan! How would an online marketplace for a specific industry fit in this steps? What holds me back is that at the beginning, the marketplace wouldn’t be valuable for sellers to publish something, since the web is empty. An empty marketplace doesn’t attract buyers. I found the hole in the market and have a team of friends devs willing to build stuff with me.
If you let the dev design your app. It will be based on what they want. Which 99% of time will be the most complicated set of forms you have ever seen. They rarely take ease of use into account.
Is this something you can get into without much programming knowledge, or do you need a background in development? SAAS seems like something I'd be interested in later down the line once I grow as an entrepreneur.
The issue for tech ppl is to identify the problem. I've been trying to identify the problem to solve for 31 years. 😞 It's EXTREMELY difficult when you don't understand the business that you are trying to cater to.
Excellent content! Gotta watch this one again and take notes. (SaaS ideas in the works.) Video edit feedback: The transitions are overproduced and distracting + the music is too loud. Removing most of the music would be an improvement since viewers watch long videos like this at 1.25x to 1.75x. Or, stick with ambient (just chords & swells) without beat so that the drumbeat isn't switching to speed-metal pace when the viewer accelerates.
It’s pretty easy to mistake validation with selling promises. And that can make a difference on the business survival, you really don’t want a huge backlog of individual features for individual users that will not use your solution. It will overwhelm you and your development team.
Skipped through this video trying to find some gold. Was there mention of using LinkedIn or did I miss it? Was there anything about backends, extending lifetime value, or reducing attrition? When there aren't any time markers it's challenging to get much from these videos where most of it doesn't apply to a specific situation, even as a startup.
at first, keep it simple. if you sell over $30K then maybe setup the business all depends what you need to move forward to take payment, I believe Strip (as an example) requires articles of incorporation
There are so many players leveraging hidden data, especially credit card firms, now cooperating with store chains for cash-back in return for customer data. The leverage it brings is obvious. They know the holes in the marketplace, they know what the customer wants and doesn't want, and can cater directly to that. It's a great efficiency tool. Sadly, I'd say it's not directly accessible to the average nerd dev, but creating a payment processor is a start. Probably why Musk is so rich. I mean... What do I know!
Sometimes yes, most times no. Patents are only good as legal leverage, too slow for most entrepreneurs. People are going to copy you. Just make yours better;)
These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $89k now to put in the market.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; its best to offset some of your real estate investments and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.
I agree, before the pandemic got real serious, I used to handle all my investment and I was pretty good at it, fast forward to post-pandemic and my-portfolio is steady in the red with profit rate down to the lowest, that's when I touched-base with a coach I saw featured on business week, who restructured my portfolio and over the last couple years, I've made over $850k from initially $210K

Dan! I’m creating an app but I’m at a spot where I don’t know where to go from here. I’m just a guy trying to build an app that makes lives easier and makes a bunch of money for myself and others who need it. It solves a problem for everyone throughout the world. Do you have any consulting services that I could bring the idea to? I’m need a person or business that can be trusted.

My biggest problem is I hate dealing with people and hate the state of the industry. I'm sure there's plenty of problems to be solved, but the biggest problem I see today is that everyone is looking for a way to click a button -- or watch a video, and not have to do the work. And soon AI is going to solve a lot of the problems. Wonder what they'll do then? I would love to come up with a way to get people to stop living in their technology/phones and start living in the real world again. Yet every solution seems to suck people in deeper to the virtual reality promising them something for nothing. Here's the funny thing I've noticed. Those who are most successful and have built up wealth, are most technically savvy, they spend the least amount of time obsessed over technology. They might still create apps that others will use -- or pay others to do it, but all they want to do is go out and touch grass. Go figure.

Thoughts on the best SaaS vertical, and thoughts on legal tech? I'm about to start asking local business owners about their problems. Should I ask everyone or focus on a specific industry first?
Definitely chose one industry.
The one you’re the most familiar with.
Over-editing and unnecessary loud music are distracting.
😂
yeah, im out
the music is not loud 😅
It’s pretty well done, production wise totally ADD and over the top however which says a lot about current attention spans.
The idea of building a SaaS product from frustration lists is so simple yet genius! 😅 How do you prioritize which frustrations to tackle first?
I know that many of you who are watching do not like to read books, but I found a book called 'The Hidden Truths Of Wealth by Oliver Mercer', and no it's not some bullshit law of attraction, it really changed my life
Bros tryna sell his book lmao
scam
Scam and reported
Where did you get that book? It’s not on audible (that I know of)
While I'd love an Audible, or even a Kindle version, you have to search it in your browser - it's an 'eBook'
Thank you shawn michaels! Some good ideas here
It's so much harder than this RUclipsr tells you it is.
Sometimes it’s not;)
Simple and easy are not the same things.
Great. Now how do you start consulting? 😅
Micro-influencers as affiliates are way easier to accomplish because there are millions of them and nobody is throwing affiliate money at them. Example, 20 desperate micro influencers each with 10K followers. That's 200K traffic potential that nobody else is tapping into. The big-shot influencers won't partner or have big egos and want massive money.
What makes you think every single of their followers would checkout the website?
@@Nova-m8d potential is not 200K buddy. There would be duplicates and some not at all interested! You need more rationalized estimate!
This is such a clear roadmap!
I'm interested in investing, but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any advice or contacts who can help me out?
Investing can be complex, so it's smart to get professional guidance when building your financial portfolio.
It's a great idea to have a conversation with financial advisors like Naomi Dean to reshape your portfolio.
I spread out my $25k portfolio across various markets to diversify my investments.
That's awesome! I ended up making a net profit of about $115k by investing in high dividend yield stocks, ETFs, and equity.
Naomi Dean stands out from other brokers because of her realistic approach, unlike those who often set unattainable targets and fail to deliver. She's truly unique!

It’s pretty easy to mistake validation with selling promises. And that can make a difference on the business survival, you really don’t want a huge backlog of individual features for individual users that will not use your solution. It will overwhelm you and your development team.
Skipped through this video trying to find some gold. Was there mention of using LinkedIn or did I miss it? Was there anything about backends, extending lifetime value, or reducing attrition? When there aren't any time markers it's challenging to get much from these videos where most of it doesn't apply to a specific situation, even as a startup.
I talk about growth hacks on the backend👊
I’ll have the team add some timestamps to the next vids
Thank you so much for this! You impressed me.
Glad you enjoyed!
This video is gold
content is king
Yup!
Would you advise doing this as an independent developer without creating an LLC?
at first, keep it simple.
if you sell over $30K then maybe setup the business
all depends what you need to move forward
to take payment, I believe Strip (as an example) requires articles of incorporation
thank you Sir! great info!
Vertical AI Agents is a billion dollar opportunity.
There are so many players leveraging hidden data, especially credit card firms, now cooperating with store chains for cash-back in return for customer data. The leverage it brings is obvious. They know the holes in the marketplace, they know what the customer wants and doesn't want, and can cater directly to that. It's a great efficiency tool. Sadly, I'd say it's not directly accessible to the average nerd dev, but creating a payment processor is a start. Probably why Musk is so rich. I mean... What do I know!
Nice video!!! Would love to have you as a mentor even though I live in Africa. I dream of owning profitable SaaS as a solo preneur.
You are a genius! 1000% thumb up!
This video is gold!
Appreciate you!
Great info. No need for camera cuts and additional editing. Its distracting and disturbing.
Noted👊
@@danmartelloverall. Great content and valuable information. Much appreciated
From next video please keep the background music little low
Video is great
Should you patent the idea or software before you crowd fund,raise money or start working with other people to build your app or software??
Sometimes yes, most times no.
Patents are only good as legal leverage, too slow for most entrepreneurs.
People are going to copy you.
Just make yours better;)
@@danmartell thank you for taking the time to give me some advice and knowledge! That’s a big deal!
You are the man!
Much appreciated sir!
Tyler
awesome content!!
Appreciate you!
That's how I would build a SaaS Company from $0!
Let me know your biggest takeaway in the comments below:)
Yup ty Dan
You opened my eyes to audience targeting options I may hade never known. Thank you!
These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $89k now to put in the market.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; its best to offset some of your real estate investments and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.
I agree, before the pandemic got real serious, I used to handle all my investment and I was pretty good at it, fast forward to post-pandemic and my-portfolio is steady in the red with profit rate down to the lowest, that's when I touched-base with a coach I saw featured on business week, who restructured my portfolio and over the last couple years, I've made over $850k from initially $210K
@@hunter-bourke21bravo! I appreciate the implementation of ideas and strategies that result to unmeasurable progress, thus the search for a reputable advisor, mind sharing info of this person guiding you please?
Wright promptly do a web check where you can connect with her *Gertrude Margaret Quinto* and do your research with her full names mentioned..
My needs are kind of unique and complex. I'll contact her nonetheless, and I hope I'm able to make something out of it.

Dan!
I’m creating an app but I’m at a spot where I don’t know where to go from here.
I’m just a guy trying to build an app that makes lives easier and makes a bunch of money for myself and others who need it.
It solves a problem for everyone throughout the world.
Do you have any consulting services that I could bring the idea to? I’m need a person or business that can be trusted.
I may sound crazy but Everytime I get the thought of this app going live, I get a rush of euphoria. I know it will be huge.
Any advice would be much appreciated. I know you’re a busy man.
Thank you sir!

@@danmartell Your the best brother. I met you 2 years ago in Toronto. I am currently building out my patented payment system for sass text messages. So thank you for all the great information, and you meet so many people you probably won't remember me, but your coaching on making content, and creating a brand getting in front of the camera has really helped me. Keep and eye out for S2MPAY we are coming.
@@danmartell Thank you, Keep an eye out for s2m pay, Met up with you in Toronto a few years back you were a big help opening my eyes up to certain techniques. We are in development for our patent s2mpay system. When we get some customers i will reach out show you what you helped me create! Thank you for your content and it was good to meet you.
My biggest problem is I hate dealing with people and hate the state of the industry. I'm sure there's plenty of problems to be solved, but the biggest problem I see today is that everyone is looking for a way to click a button -- or watch a video, and not have to do the work. And soon AI is going to solve a lot of the problems. Wonder what they'll do then?
I would love to come up with a way to get people to stop living in their technology/phones and start living in the real world again. Yet every solution seems to suck people in deeper to the virtual reality promising them something for nothing.
Here's the funny thing I've noticed. Those who are most successful and have built up wealth, are most technically savvy, they spend the least amount of time obsessed over technology. They might still create apps that others will use -- or pay others to do it, but all they want to do is go out and touch grass. Go figure.

Hey Dan , very good video ! I was wondering if I can help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and make Highly Engaging Thumbnails which will help your videos to get more views and engagement . Please let me know what do you think ?
I think the first item is the most difficult one to solve.
you just earn subscribe thank for this
Thank you!
How do you crowd fund for an app without the risk of someone with the money to steal the idea?
Can anybody tell me who is these guys?
Invision is going out of business in like 2 months....I would recommend another tool if you have one
Can't Figma do everything InVision can?
Yup, invision is a bit more robust though
