I have been lurking in this sub for about six months now and honestly most of the success stories feel way out of reach for me. I do not know how to code micro saas products, I do not have a massive social media following, and I definitely do not have five thousand dollars laying around to invest in real estate or buy an existing content site. Right now I have saved up about $300 that I can afford to risk or put towards tools, domain names, or basic software subscriptions. I work a regular 9 to 5 job so I can commit maybe 5 to 7 hours a week on weekends and evenings.
My main goal isn't to make ten grand a month right away. I would honestly be thrilled if I could just build something that consistently brings in an extra $100 to $200 a month to cover my groceries or subscriptions. For those of you who started from scratch without technical skills or a big budget, what actually worked for you in the beginning? Is print on demand still viable for small niches, or should I look into basic digital templates, curation newsletters, or digital products? Any honest advice on where to focus my time would be hugely appreciated.
