POV: you’re a developer and make $1.2M/year traveling the world

0:00after watching your videos he found it really inspiring for me this is The Pinacle of Happiness converts as much as we made almost 5K in the past 24 hours wo this will likely never happen [Music] again okay it's very cliche but there's no better feeling that knowing we're traveling and we're going to make money while traveling and more money than what you're going to spend wow it's already [Music] Christmas there's a locker cannot steal my [Music] airp we just landed in Lisbon Portugal we're looking for new house after B and uh this is our first step so I have launched a new product Cod fast maybe two or 3 weeks ago something like

1:08this and I wanted to mention about the lending page conversion rate which at the moment is really good if we look at the data here we can see that the uh revenue generated per visitor is around $4 which is by far the best product I've ever built and in terms of conversion and the conversion rate at 1.8% is also really good uh so there are here a few things that I do when I launch a new product to make sure that it converts as much as possible because well I want to leverage as much traffic that I bring make sure that I get as many uh customers as possible from those landing pages

1:41one of the first thing I do which really hurts but it's necessary is that um 24 hours after launching a new product so this is the launch tweet on November 28th I quote that tweet and I asked if you visited my website why you did not purchase another important part here is to mention that I am why I'm asking this question and why should people answer in the most and honest way because in general people will try to be nice and give you like good feedback but what I want as an entrepreneur and what helps me most is that when people tell me what is bad what is

2:15wrong what are the objections what's exactly in their mind and so here I really try to mention like be brutal like tell me honestly because this is going to help me and I've got really good feedback like people really being actually honest and telling me exactly why they didn't purchase and sometimes I land on something that can actually help improve my landing page here what uh this person mentioned is that they don't believe the promise I make on the site about building a software from zero in 14 days and based on those feedback I went back to the landing page and then previously it was something like build your software in 14 days and then I

2:52realized well actually if you have a 9 to5 and you have 5 minutes per day you might not be able to build your product from zero in 14 days days the results you get with a with a course equals the amount of efforts you input and I don't want to overpromise so I try to go with another angle which is more about not learning everything you need to become a software engineer but learning just what you need to become an entrepreneur to build product as an entrepreneur and so blend like big bold move the most important part of the website the headline I changed it right after the

3:22launch like 24 hours after the launch I changed the the entire headline and I replac it by learn to code in weeks not month and another part here that was important the course is made for people who want to launch an online business to create an online business with code um I use the word SAS previously build your SAS in 14 days which I believe is a little bit too Niche like not everybody knows what a SAS is but people want to build their idea with code and so I went for something more generic which is about learning how to code and not building a sess and back

3:54to that feedback from uh this person It also says that they don't trust it's possible to do it this fast so what I did is U when you scroll through the site you'll see I added an entirely new section this one that says wait is it possible to learn to code that fast and so here what I do is I take what's inside of a random visitor's head objections the the number one objection is it possible and I try to answer it using a little story so here I go over um you know my coding journey of why learning on Udi was not a good fit for me um all the the stuff that we learn

4:31that we actually don't use and then I explained that now in 2024 using AI things are much easier and then I conclude by explaining why it is possible to learn how to build a tiny product within 14 days okay another things I do which is concertive like we uh solopreneur mentioned about the freedom like uh working asynchronously not answering emails I do the exact opposite below the pricing section there is a section uh fq section where if people have a question they can contact me by email this could be insane for some people because then I would I sometimes get 100 emails per day this is really good because this is where I get some gems if you look at my emails when I

5:10launched I would get people like telling me a little journey like hey this is me I'm trying to do this I have struggle with that does your product cover XYZ and then based on the feedback from uh in this case Dominico I get so much Gems so much uh object potential customer objections that I use that to update the lending page and just as a quick example here Domino mentioned about the fact that do you need the shipa B plate another product of mine to use the course and then right after receiving this email I added a new section on the Ling page that's uh that's answer

5:42the potential customer objection so if I had to summarize what making a good Ling page is I would say it's two thing the first one is to making a promise that's almost too good to be true on the headline and then the rest of the lending page is about answering potential objection and Shing that yes you can actually deliver on the promise and I know that not everybody watching this video has an audience um I didn't have an audience when I got started but there is something you can do all the time to make sure you get good feedback so you build the right landing page in the conversation

6:13that I have with two of my good friends Dan and Nico and then I would send them the lending page a week or couple days before I launch and then you could see here my friend Dan replied hey this is so [ __ ] um I'm laughing but back then it really hurts but this is very important because then I know exactly that if my friend don't understand my Ling page or are not willing to then probably it means that random people on the internet will never understand it so I told my friend that they would rather be honest and hurt me than uh telling me good stuff only so take a few of your friends

6:47or make friends on the internet and put them in a group like a mini group of you guys and try to always ask them like give me Brut brutal honest feedback about why you wouldn't purchase this product because I promise you this is exactly how you know how to build Ling page that [Music] converts finish yeah look at that this is freaking good man this is crazy what what happened I knew I you know we talk about data fast I I checked the dashboard we made almost 5K in the past 24 hours what and we're on a holiday how much 4.6k in the past 24 hours and look at that wow look at that

7:39ship fast 1.5k uhhuh then two tiny startups $25 $9 $45 then C fast is still drinking this is crazy this is crazy two almost 3K for C fast and that fast look at that I'm so happy cuz this one I'm spending so much time working on that I this is where I invest most of my time and it's making $150 per day I mean today I'm so proud of this one cuz this is really where all my time is going and this is a little Port forio man this is just it's so it's so to see that this is a little you know you have like a tinging Ting and and Ting this is just if you think about

8:21it this is my little creation on the internet and we're on a holiday and we're still making money while traveling only because I did the hard work before and now it's paying on the long term it's like instant amount in crazy amount of work and then chill down and the results like no result at all and now it's keep growing like whatever linear or exponential and we being results we spend time with my family we work out we or a life man this is so freaking good this is so it's a Sunday and we made $5,000 in 24 hours and I did not work in the last 24 hours this is

8:59just crazy man and so and I want to high five you because you are 50% of everything that's happen how was the orang Kimi is very nice next to it Merry Christmas wow yeah the only people in Indonesia doing that are digital no who make this is really good yeah the guy that did the morning much much lower true so we want to go after watching your videos he found it really inspiring okay and that really made him want to you know his main job aside of it and put more effort into his psychics he Dev yeah he's coding and he's also working in you know Finance that's not fulfilling for yeah same bro it's really crazy we just met girlfriend of

10:09our follower George yeah George like in the middle of the street like about to leave toer crazy the power of Internet everything is on a computer and sometimes I don't know I was not expecting to me [Music] someone yeah back to the healthy routine and we're going to work eat healthy and maybe serve wait what we launched Cod fast a month ago uhuh and students start to get results and build the apps their first app I started coding just a week ago and shipped my first product wow his bio says I learned how to cat in 7 days for me this is the Pinnacle of Happiness that's George yeah we saw his girlfriend in the middle of Lisbon oh my god oh

10:59so George message you yeah he actually messaged me hope you're enjoying your time in NBN and uh it looks like he's doing some really cool stuff yep yep yep yep he has he has a big following on Twitter as well oh it's super cool wow the word is small it's not how sharing your thoughts on the internet you can eventually you end up connecting with the right [Music] people yeah I'm supposed to surf there later today I'm supposed to Surf with Jordan we met in this town a couple days ago the c f student this crazy this is a crazy story he got the course and

11:40then we moved in this little town here like 20,000 inhabitants and it's like are you Mark yeah oh I'm one of your students on C fast I was like what so it's been like maybe like 3 weeks since I launched the course so people start to get results on they complete the course some make their websites so I get I start to get feedback on the course and I received so many positive feedback back that makes me so happy a that's nice they already made their website and projects some of them yeah already yeah actually one of them I have to show it man I have to show it on the computer cuz it's it's

12:10crazy so this is Adam Adam took the course C fast a couple days ago and he said that in 10 days he was able to create some apps he was even able to get some visitors which was pretty uh it's really impressive um this is one of the apps he built I believe this is a free marketing tool to promote his main product I guess it's used for people to find discounts on Amazon and since I've received so many positive reviews for cfast I have created a new page on C fast/ review whereas Scout Twitter and whenever I see someone um posting something about Cod fast I will put the Tweet somewhere here

12:48on this page and so I have this like a huge collections of reviews and testimonials and uh things that people have built using Cod fast and then there is this uh this guy SL who said that he's doing a thousand push-ups if he doesn't learn every single day and uh it's been really fun to see his Twitter journey of sometimes he misses one coding day and you could see like tweets of him just uh doing 100 push-ups here and there oh and also a quick SEO tip um you can submit your site to Google search console and then Google will tell you uh which like how much

13:22Impressions and clicks you get for your pages that are ranked on Google and I noticed one thing that that Co fast review has this impression so people search for that but very low click and see this is um this is very important because if they type code fast review they're interested in code fast this is another reason that I decided to create this page put it under a totally different page and also I made the entire uh H1 the the headline the main title for this page here uh name code fast reviews and case studies to make sure that Google knows this is exactly what this page is

13:55all about and so now if I search for code fast review uh Reddit will definitely appear first and then uh hopefully yeah there we go this is uh the new page I created yesterday two days ago actually and hopefully help people decide whether or not it's worth their money oh and one last thing I hired someone um to a live instructor someone who knows how to code and is available on Discord and answered uh my students questions so here we have for instance Doan who asks questions about the course and MC his real name is Navin is answering questions like trying to debug them trying to help

14:31them um fix their bugs understand what they're doing so that hopefully they get unlocked and they can learn faster it was definitely not planned at all whatsoever when I made the course but seeing people feedback on the Discord community at the beginning when I saw that some of them would get stuck here or they would not understand a specific lesson which definitely happens when you're learning how to code that's part of the process having a live instructor is a game changer cuz then you have a real humans that can answer your questions and and DAV is doing an incredible job and I can see that people love his work and love the support from him so I

15:04guess that's a really good investment for the future of the course I just realized I have a new business expense since I launched the course it's the platform that host videos for the entire course and this is the most expensive bill I have in my entire Tech stack it's the service MX so I can serve uh videos pretty fast and this is the bill for the past 30 days only and compared to anything else I do I think this is the equivalent of the entire text tack everything else like from server to um to hosting to domain name Etc just for videos which is fun and um

15:39I mean definitely way more profitable than what it cost but I was not expecting to have a such a high bill for uh videos but it's it's a really great platform they let my students stream the course so if like you know you're in the subway and you don't have much data they will stream the video in uh I don't know 720p and will increase the quality as your network gets better I don't have to do anything which makes my life way easier and make my students life way easier [Music] [Applause] too we're about to cross 300K per month this month like last 30 days this is the highest

16:30amount of money we've ever made I I I honestly I almost don't feel it's real anymore I'm I'm I kind of feel like a mix of is it legit do we deserve this amount the numbers the numbers are freaking insane I just finished this book from Barista to millionaire billionaire a billionaire I guess the BB B2B the guy I think is like it's maybe even 20 years in the making started as a bar that to pay the bills and he started a little design agency and then just he stacked stuff on top of each other until he build a holding company that buys and other companies and you know he changes

17:09the CEO and he reorganized the companies and same like the guy I think struggled like nothing for 10 years and then suddenly one took off and another took off and then it's crazy cuz now he's only I think 37 or something which is like he's super young but I think he started like when he was 18 or something so it's like roughly 20 years in the making and same our life was not nothing for like 6 years literally nothing you have to want something badly enough so you show up every day and you don't quit until you get it I think what works is you have to leave you have to do

17:39something I think there's no rules there's no like you you have to it's not in the mind it's like you have to start something you go travel you go build that app you've been thinking for a while you call that person you meant to call for a while like it's to actually do the thing and then things will make sense afterward now things make sense what I was doing 6 years ago it makes sense now now but it didn't make any sense back then but the only thing that makes sense is the things I could do I wanted to I wanted to go travel try random jobs build random stuff just for the sake of building

18:09something you can use that to try stuff that you know some point eventually will end up building something that pays you $8,000 when you sleep it's just crazy we made it it's crazy [Music] ah this will likely never happen again so I have to put it on the camera for the record whoa I made over $300,000 in the past 30 days and this is absolutely mental three 3 years ago I had a bitter feeling about entrepreneurship because I had failed previously some startups so I had gotten a job I was I kind I gave up an entrepreneurship I had very low self-confidence I had no following on Twitter Youtube or any other social media I literally had nothing and then for

19:05some reason maybe the freedom of creating my own project I started again and I C it every single day I did marketing every single day and I did not give up for the first 18 months when nothing was happening and then somehow last year I ended up getting lucky with one of my project and I again I got lucky last month with another one on my project so entrepreneurship is very hard but I think if you create something valuable for some people if you manage to distribute it and not quit this is the recipe to get lucky at some point yeah this clock is definitely not on

19:46time but it's probably time for me to go to bed cuz tomorrow I'm going back to Paris spend time Christmas with my family and uh I'll see you in the next video Until Then I hope you keep shipping

20:02please don't buy a domain name
