💰 Selling products

Use your programming skills to build SaaS products.

This type of income is very uncertain and typically has a very slow start off.

On the other hand, there are almost unlimited gains to collect from launching your own SaaS product.

The potential is huge.
💰 Offering information

Create videos on YouTube, put your Medium articles behind the paywall, or sell ebooks on Gumroad.

This type of income is more easily accessible, and also has a huge potential.

It's also very unreliable and can vary greatly from month to month.
💰 Selling yourself

Selling your skills as a software engineer is probably the most accessible and most reliable form of income you can establish.

On the other hand, selling yourself is a form of "earned income", and is hard to scale.

You only have 24 hours/day after all.
💰 Passive income

Invest in dividend-paying stocks, real-estate, index funds, etc.

This type of income is both reliable (if done correctly), and has unlimited growth potential.

The con here is, that it takes a lot of time and a lot of money to build up. It takes patience.
Ideally, you want to make a mix of these 4.

At least, that's exactly what I'm working hard on, at the moment.

In time, this combination will deliver a steady, reliable, and potentially unlimited flow of income.

But of course, it takes dedication, hard work, and discipline 🔥

🔹 Promise.allSettled()

The Promise.allSettled() method returns a promise that resolves after all of the given promises have either fulfilled or rejected, with an array of objects that each describes the outcome of each promise.

Create a SaaS product 🚀

What does it take to create a successful SaaS Product?

There's an infinite number of paths.

Now show the idea to the world.
You want confirmation that people are interested.

🔥 Benefits of a Holding Company 🔥

Are you in the process of setting up a Limited Liability Company?

You may want to consider setting up a Holding Company as well.

Here's why 🧵👇
First of all - what is a Holding Company?

Well, a Holding Company is not a specific form of company (like an LLC or an INC).

It's simply a company that owns shares in another company and doesn't produce or offer any services itself.
A Holding Company is typically positioned between the operating company and the individual shareholder.

Let's take an example.
@SimonGronborg, and I are Co-Founding FeedHive.
