A bit. The mic is on. Yeah, the mic is on. 50% of the million dollar goal completed. Building a brand new app, going viral, and making $18,000 in monthly recurring revenue in less than one week. Completed. Sacrificing my sleep and making wrong business decision. Completed as well. This is what's waiting for you in this [0:22] video. Let's go. Tomorrow might be the day we cross. It's opening, man. Holy [ __ ] [ __ ] got to finish the dinner. Launch this new startup. Boom. We are freaking lying. I'm so proud of you. Holy smokes. You freaking [0:56] I think I'm tripping. [1:03] daily checkup. We have to check. This one is a bit bitter because right now there are people attacking the server. Why? I don't know. Some people have some time to kill. What was the last number? 88 8,800 yesterday. 400 revenue. Give us a crispy number. 8 939. No, it is not 9K. It's okay. Tomorrow, [1:32] tomorrow is the day. I'm praying for the oldest gods of the nature. Emma, our gods. [1:42] I just discovered we have an interesting light here. Holy [ __ ] you can move the light. There's a battery. Don't you dare give up. You shall not give up. Sorry, I feel bad for this person here. [2:02] Oh no. Oh no. Wait, wait, wait. Oh no, it duplicated. What did you do? It's something terrible. People are scared of it. I think I received five message from customers who said, "I got scared the [ __ ] out of me because of the spiders." You're going to make people heart attack. We cannot afford it. I should insert the privacy the terms of services on the app. We're not responsible for [2:23] broken screens. There's a Halloween special. Maybe here there will be lots of spider. Insert Halloween theme right now. [2:42] Now, whenever I hover the mouse, it's like it spreads super fast. It's a mess. The computer is going to crash. IT'S A TURTLE MAN. WHY SHE bugs for Halloween? The entire map is covered with spiders. What is going on? I don't understand. This is the biggest girl ever. Like how many person was it? So yesterday we uploaded the recent YouTube vlog and then the spike was like but people watch our video and then they all love data fest and then they become the customer and we probably will reach 10k very soon. 31 customers in a single day. This is the [3:19] biggest we've ever had. I haven't seen such a thing. Tomorrow might be the day we cross AKMR. Yo, it's happening, man. Hey, good morning. Today's a is a little special day because we might might cross 10K MR, which is 50% of the completion of this $1 million SAS goal. Currently having a little breakfast before going for a workout cuz there's no single day without a workout. And then we'll see. We'll see the MR. See [3:50] how that goes. Today will be a good day. Every day was a good day with you. Wow. This is becoming a love channel. You want to check my course how to how to pick a woman. Try to pick a right woman. The right woman. Very important one. It's like picking the the right stock [4:06] market. This is how I invest. Wow. Human. She's the one releasing the course then. Hi. End of breakfast workout and we check the MR. Hello. It's time to check the revenue. I am hunk. God boy. Holy [ __ ] man. Those are numbers I never thought would happen. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Serious business is [4:30] starting right now. Let's go. Holy [ __ ] WO. WE [ __ ] did it, man. It's plus 400 since yesterday. It's the biggest day ever. Holy freaking smokes, man. This is crazy. 50% done. Yes. One freaking year. It took 4 months to get the first 1K and it took just 9 days to get another 1k. So the time is like [4:56] that's true. It's 9 days. What? Yeah. You see this is nothingness here. Nobody wants to subscribe. Nobody trust the us. Nobody cares about it. And I'm tweeting every single day, hey, check out my new product. And nobody cares. But how did you endure the nothingness? There was a pain that was not solved by any other tools and I know that I needed the product myself. Hence, if I keep building it and tweeting about it at some point in my work, there is not a single analytics platform that is simple, easy to set up and that shows me what I care about which is what is the [5:28] outcome of my business. And that is what datafast is solving. [5:39] Okay. 10k MR. Yes. 20K. God. 20K. Wa. YouTube. Serious. Are you [ __ ] kidding me? Yes. [6:04] I am shipping a new app, a daily side project 100% made with AI. If this is live by the end of this video, there will be a link in the description. [6:28] I can see you, [ __ ] Yesterday we just crossed 10K and now it's 10.6. This is absolutely mad. Okay, got to finish the dinner, launch this new startup and then tomorrow go back to data fast. [6:52] Damn, I'm going to go mad if I don't go for a workout. Second workout of the day, man. I'm coming back. I'm shipping this. It's going to be insane. We're doing it. It's currently Oh my god, it's 9:00 p.m. So, normally I should be to bed soon. It looks like this. It's like a little uh database of startups where each startup will get a little dedicated page that shows revenue [7:12] and it lets people discover startups. Anyone can just add a new startup for free and it takes like 1 minute or something. And the idea behind this is to hopefully avoid having those like fake MR screenshots where they only show the end of something. So, this is coded in about one day. I should not really have done that knowing that data fast was growing super fast and there's a bunch of work, but I feel like this was relevant because someone uh Peter Level tweeted about the fact that uh there's [7:38] so many of those fake MR screenshots. So, I'm about to push it live and uh hopefully people like it and people use it. In the worst case, I've had so much fun in the past 24 hours. So, there we go. Boom. We are freaking live and there's a pay wall. So maybe when we wake up tomorrow there will be a [7:56] payment. Currently we are 42 visitors. I literally just pressed a minute ago. We're going to see how that goes. Stay tuned. Holy smokes. I'm on boat. Holy [ __ ] In the concrete jungle [8:22] do the most. I was living down. Wow, there's 220 people right now. There's too many events. I don't even see it. Damn it. Yes. It's too good. Friends of my broke friends. [8:41] Oh my god. This is addict to that. They're going to sleep. Oh [ __ ] It's like it's almost too good to be true, you know. See me now. It's crazy, man. It's crazy. [9:01] It's a complete madness. It's midnight. I should have been sleeping for a long time. Actually, I never do this usually, but damn, it was so fun. I think the tweet, the launch tweet is going a bit viral. I think it has around 1,000 likes in a couple of hours, which brought crazy lots of visitors. It's about uh $5,000 generated in the past 24 hours. I don't know. I have so much stuff to do tomorrow. I'll try to get a good night of sleep and I don't know. Just skip [9:27] shipping. It's a crazy night. All right. Cheers. Oh my god. I literally slept 5 hours. I went to a quick gym. I think people are trying to attack my servers right now. I see like some porn websites. Uh but anyway, check the revenue. That's almost $8,000 in the past 24 hours. It's the biggest day ever for Dataf Fast. And also this new little project overnight made $5,000. It's pretty crazy. That means this project is at 5,000 in monthly recurring revenue and it's 24 [10:00] hours old. That's just insane. Guys, you need to see this. So, show me. This is a startup. I can see his revenue for whatever, you know, like four weeks or something. And now I'm making a feature this one where you can click and then you can update all of your data. Okay. So how did trust ever made the [10:19] revenue? Huh? This what is that? Our sponsorsman. Our sponsors. So you're basically selling the ads on the side. Yeah, I'm selling pixels. Uh so okay, maybe we can explain too is I use this as a way to channel some eyeballs to my product. So, if you scroll to the bottom here, you're going to see this where you [10:39] see the number of visitors on the map. It's embedded on the site. And I think this brings a lot of people to Dataf Fast. Dataf Fast already brought $300, maybe even $500 in revenue from Trust Mr. in less than 24 hours knowing that most of them are on their free trial. It's almost 11K now. It's so unfair because it was so hard [10:59] and painful for the first 6 months. Nothing was happening. And then now it's growing at a rate that was unimaginable back then. MR was something very new for us. And I thought MR takes lots of time to reach someone big. Someone bought a new ad spot at the minute. Someone just spent 1,500 bucks [11:20] RIGHT NOW. WA AKMR FOR Trust Mr. What the hell, man? What the hell? I just want to say I'm very grateful for everything happening right now. 6 years of nothingness and then in just one day we earn like 10k or a day even more now 12k. This is so unexpected. You remember I told you like [11:49] 2 days ago, oh I had this stupid idea. Trust me like I'm going to make something and then I move on quickly cuz it will never work. And it did. Even like going to bed, I was so proud of this man. Like how come you can ship this beautiful amazing website like landing page in one day and he launched [12:07] it like so. Wow. That's very kind of you. Just ship it. Yeah. Good morning. Uh it's currently a little over 7:00 a.m. and this just happened. this new little side project of mine that is 2 days old just crossed almost 14k MRR and it's mad because in just 2 days it did what took me 400 days to achieve with data fast and not even there data fast is still around 11k MRR even though I I know that on the long term dataf fast will be uh more valuables than this project it's still mindblowing how asymmetrical effort and rewards are in entrepreneurship I'm going to spend a little bit more time on [12:56] this one cuz this is really fun. Um, I've actually updated the landing page and added a bunch of stuff. There's a bunch of people who I did their startups guys crushing it and I also changed the sponsorship placements left and right. I added colors and now they rotate. And then I added categories at the bottom where people can search startups by category. They can also see the people who build those startups. So this is me for instance. And then it creates this page here. Well, I don't really know where I'm going but I'm just having a lot of fun. And what I do is I share [13:26] absolutely everything I build and then people make comments and they say things like, "Oh, build this, build that." And I just build it. I use AI. I ship them. People give more feedback. I build more features. Some people said I should create a little badge and there we go. You can just use this little piece of code and you have a verified badge that you can input on your website. I just saw that yesterday we hit the trending part of Twitter. So, uh, the the site project was mentioned on the homepage of certain people on Twitter, which, uh, brought a lot of visitors. It's been 48 [13:54] hours and there's still like 200 or 300 people currently on the site. Now, it's time for breakfast, workout, and crush the day. Cheers. [14:20] Good workout and good day. Look at them yo-yos. That's the way you do it. It's been a crazy week. We're Tuesday 4th November and exactly one week ago we saw a tweet and then from there I built an app, launched it and get a,000 visitors and built a little business to $18,000 monthly recurring revenue in 7 days. And it's so fun because this is basically how long it took for me to grow data fast from zero to the same level in one year. But I had no idea any of this would happen. I thought it would be another flop. And I think it's a good reminder that it's not symmetrical. You [15:00] don't know what's going to happen. It can flop or it can boom. And as long as you keep showing up and doing stuff, you're placing bets. At some point, one of them will work in a way that you would never expect. And your life could literally be changed. Actually, there's no failure. You always learn each stage and just keep doing what it looks fun to you because if you don't enjoy the journey, you never sustain that for a long time. And also even the result will not be good also like people know if you enjoy it or not cuz the good vibe make a good result and [15:35] people will have a empathy of your solution your work you know it's so fun I increased the price by like 3x after the launch and ended up being like $1.5,000 per spot and I was thinking like man it's kind of expensive but actually people thank us for this they DM me on Twitter and they say we got sales and It sounds like, you know, I'm salesy or whatever here. It's not the point. The point here is to show that sometimes you just make counterintuitive things, you think they will flop completely. And it ended up working well for just everyone. People had fun. Sponsors had uh revenue. We had [16:08] so much fun. I hope this is inspiring for anyone watching this to just keep doing, keep building stuff because at some point it will work out. Never give up. Never give up. And keep shipping. Keep shipping. Cheers. Cheers. It's a little bit insane. Uh, we're 5 days in the launch of TrustMrR. It is still getting a bunch of traffic right now. So, I'm making a new game right here. This is the new game. Uh, it's not fully finished, but basically, people are going to see two websites and they have to guess which one makes the most money so they can progress in the game and basically become the next Warren [16:47] Buffett. So, if you click clear here, they're going to reveal the verified revenue for each of those startups. I was wrong. I went back to zero. And hopefully people can finish this game on time. And at the same time, uh it's insane to say that, but I sold out all the sponsorships placements on the sites. I ended up increasing the price to $1.5,000 per month. And I think I sold probably half of them for this price, which brings this little 5 days project to $18,000 in monthly recurring revenue. I mean, this this is just insane. Uh, and it's [17:19] like way much data fastest after a year. So, it's it's it's always like a weird nonlinear effort and reward. Uh, it's a really fun project. So, that's why I'm making this game. I'm trying to revive it, trying to bring some more traffic. See how that goes. I guess we'll see how that goes. So when you hear me, darling, [17:37] can you hear me? I love you. --- About this transcript Read from YouTube's own caption track and laid out by ViewRank AI (https://viewrankai.com).
