Getting started with something simple is the best way to get more ideas, to build a tiny audience, to get feedback, to learn. There's just so many things that just roll after that. Having a course, a book, I think it's the easiest way to get started. And so, yeah, that's the entire point is to start with something simple.
There's this sense as a business owner that if you charge a subscription, then you will get monthly recurring revenue. So you get $10 in January, you're going to get $10 in December, and it's going to keep going like this. But What I do is I tend to remove any subscription and I really ask myself, do I need that subscriptions?
A friend of mine is telling me, if you have a recurring payment, you should provide recurring value.
You need to build that idea because that idea is so smart. I'll build that with you. I need a notepad right here. That's a successful Startup Ideas podcast and you have to pull out your notepad and you're like, okay, let me just take a note on that. All right. I am so excited to have you, Mark, on the show, on the Startup Ideas podcast.
On my Mount Rushmore of indie hackers, I've got Peter Levels, I've got Danny Postma, and I definitely have Mark Liu. So I finally got you to come on. I agree to come on the pod. You're here and welcome.
Man, thank you so much. Big fan of the pod. I've watched a lot of episodes and I'm happy to be finally in here.
You're here, man. You're here. And you came prepared too, which I love. So you've got a list of a bunch of ideas. And I take your ideas very seriously because you've been able to build a pretty big audience on YouTube. You've made money. in revenue, millions of dollars at this point. So which one of these ideas do you want to start with? Because they're all pretty interesting.
Just before we get started, I got lots of ideas. Lots of them are terrible, but I try all of them and eventually some of them ended up working. So whatever I prepared, some of them might not be the best, but it crossed my mind and I think it's worth exploring.
Yeah, and it's funny because sometimes the bad ideas end up being the good ideas.
