MasihMinawal··on Ask HN: You have $35,000 how do you invest it?
Real estate. always.

35k is enough for a down payment on a small apartment. If you have a job, you can usually get a loan from most banks.

With good preparation and patience, you can cover all your costs by renting out your property and generate a monthly profit.

Practical:

MasihMinawal··on Ask HN: In a guide to inner work for founders and engs, what topics to cover?
>If I made a guide to all this what would you want to know?

MasihMinawal··on Ask HN: Tech people who are self employed. How do you do it?
I started out as a freelance marketer, selling WordPress websites to small businesses.

Over time, more and more of my clients began demanding CRM systems and automation.

Eventually, I expanded my technical skill set and studied computer science.

Conclusion:

Learn marketing — not just advertising, but things like positioning, understanding customer needs, and even cold calling. Or: get someone on your team who does understand marketing.

Current market needs (from my perspective) that a tech freelancer can solve and "easily" sell:

Websites for small businesses

CRM systems and automation

AI agents for mid-sized businesses

You're right, a real demo would be better. The reviews aren't fake, though; they're from my friends who were fiddling around with my prototype, which has no hardcase yet. The response has been good so far, so I'll post an update with a demo of the product soon. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll work on it :)

Thank you! If you sign up for the waitlist on the aibutton.io landing page, I'll send you an email with answers to your questions once I've set up a product page and start selling.

I expect the product to be available in mid-August. A demo, along with information on price, battery life, etc., will be available in mid-July. I'll then email it to everyone on the waitlist.
