Die vollständige Geschichte
I was a psychology major in college. One day I learned about Uber and decided I wanted to be in tech. So I moved to San Francisco, attended a coding bootcamp, worked for Lyft, and delivered food on my bicycle.
Building the Brand
I built my 'Web Scraping Guy' brand on social media and launched a course that made $20K in its first three days.
Personal Outreach
I relied on Twitter DMs - personalised outreach to potential customers. A CTO became a paying customer after I tweeted about scraping their site.
- Time to $10K MRR: 12 months
- Course launch: $20K in 3 days
- Strategy: Personal brand + Twitter DMs
