Here's how I got a $30,000 a month contract when I was 25 years old as a solopreneur. What happened was I was answering a lot of questions on Quora because Quora, which is a Q&A website, back in the day, a lot of people were answering questions there. That's how Jason Lemkin built his $20 million a year SaaStr, like the biggest SaaS conference, right? And so I was answering a lot of questions and then someone reached out to me that eventually led to a $30,000 a month contract. And so I just was creating a lot of content, which I believe is a longer-term play. Shorter-term play, I would say, is hand-to-hand combat. But sometimes when you're, when you're creating content, the phrase people like to use right now is you're increasing your surface area of luck. So that's how we got that deal.
