2 weeks ago, I posted a tweet.

I was proposing a new YouTube series where I would coach 3 people from zero to their first dollar online. All filmed, all free.

I asked people to send me an idea they wanted to build, any previous projects, and their availability.

Then I went to sleep.

By the time I woke up, over 100 people had applied.

After 48 hours, it was over 400.

The response was overwhelming.

And it triggered a feeling I hadn’t had in a long time - “this is the thing I'm supposed to be doing.”

Anyway, before I get ahead of myself…

It's been a while.

The last time I wrote to you, I was on Koh Samui in Thailand building side projects and trying to figure out what I was doing with my life.

Since then, a lot has changed.

I failed. A lot. 5 products to be exact.

I traveled. A lot. From UK to Brazil. Guatemala and Colombia to Panama. Morocco. And now all the way back to Thailand.

And in the process of moving around, one of my bets finally worked.

It's called SuperX, which you might already know by now. An all-in-one growth platform for X. It crossed $30,000/month this year.

2 years ago I was writing this newsletter making $0.

If I can do it, you really can too.

And that's the whole point of what I'm building now.

My First Dollar.

This newsletter used to be called Globe Coder. It was about building startups while traveling the world.

I still do that. Heck, I'm writing this from Bangkok, halfway through a chaotic journey to Cyprus with a cancelled flight and an expired visa. (Thanks Trump).

But the newsletter has a new name and a sharper focus.

My First Dollar is about one thing: helping you earn your first dollar online.

If you've already earned yours, even better.

The first dollar is just the starting line.

What comes after (the systems, the playbooks and the decisions that take you from $1 to $1,000 to $30,000+/month) is what this newsletter is really about.

Whether that's a SaaS, a freelance gig, a digital product, or something you haven't thought of yet.

Every week, you'll get:

→ Lessons from my journey building a SaaS to $30k/month

→ Breakdowns of founders who are building and scaling with AI

5 minutes. Free forever. No sponsors, no ads.

I'm also turning this into a show.

I picked 3 people from those 100+ applications.

I'm coaching them from zero to their first dollar, and filming the entire thing.

Episode 0 is already live.

If you've ever wanted to build something online but didn't know where to start, this is for you.

One last thing.

If you're still subscribed after 18 months of silence, thank you.

I won't disappear again. Every Tuesday, in your inbox.

And if this isn't for you anymore, no hard feelings. I'd rather have 50 people who care than 500 who don't open.

Hit reply and tell me what you're working on. I read every one.

See you next week.

You've got this.
