If you put in work you will get paid for your time.

You can do it with less than 500, making a social media account and uploading engaging content, be it blogs or YouTube (filmed on your phone and edited with free software) you can start a carreer. You can do all the reaearch for it online too.

Of course it rakes a lot of time and commitment, like, your lifes-work-type of commitment and on that time span $500 is very insignificant. Considering all the other sacrifices and opportunities you let slide

Start by looking at the market and statistics of what software people or companies are making money on.

Then, look at how they market and sell it, and what offer they present to their customers. Reverse engineer the customer journey.

Now you still don’t start programming(!). You wanna first create your own offer through one of the viable marketing channels you created. But instead you’ll ask people “If I had x-software, would you buy it?” Or if youdon’t do in-person or telesales you run test-ads online or in newspapers to see whether you get the expected clickthrough rate of people being interested.

Once you figured out that way what people want, you start building a small low-effort prototype and give it to the most-desperate, early-adopter cusomers.

From there you improve the software bit by bit making it more and more delightful for the cusomers to experience. You may have to pivot into a new customer segment or a different application after you gained some knowledge and experience about the market

You might wanna get an education. Something in economy(like entrepreneurship and new business) or law could really catapult your future to different heights. 1.4k really isn’t a considerable amount to get anything going on that scope. It’s gonna feed you and pay rent for a bunch of weeks at best.

Becoming successful usually takes a lot of time besides dedication. You don’t wanna be washing dishes barely hanging by working full time without any money to invest in your business ideas.

Parking space or something

Ignore them. Don’t even entertain that idea or give them a reaction or so.

If my family wss that toxic I would seriously consider not hanging out with them.

I don’t think a generalistic website - probably from another country- is a good choice to outsource key decisions.

Some tools maybe, that could speed up certain processes.

But not how to achieve market fit, research and evaluate suppliers for me, talk to my customers and based on that generate a good marketing and sales strategy.

All that while navigating financials and other opportunities.

Ergo this won’t solve any significant number of relevant problems.

Gaming

It’s a good idea to talk to customers and get a verbal confirmation that they are willing to buy before building anything

I don’t understand the meaning behind 80-100 hrs.

Like, would you count preparing dinner and doing groceries ir getting ready in the mornings as work?

It seems so u realistic to me in a way
