Every morning before I actually start working, I end up checking the same few things.

Usually it's revenue, emails, and making sure nothing weird happened overnight.

Then I actually start my day.

It got me thinking if everyone has their own little routine.

What's the first thing you check every morning? Is it revenue, orders, cash flow, new leads, support tickets... or something else?

Just curious how other business owners start their day.

Hey folks, Odeh Ahwal here; a serial internet solopreneur who's looking for like-minded folks to work with and acquire my assets, and potentially my entire portfolio as a bundle.

Quick context on why I'm selling

I've been building and shipping internet businesses solo for years, this portfolio is a snapshot of that. Right now I'm heads-down on a much larger B2B platform that needs my full attention and resources, on top of running a family. A recent wallet compromise was the final push to simplify: instead of splitting focus across six projects, I'd rather hand a few of them to someone who can actually give them the attention they deserve.

Everything below is real, running, and transferable, I'm just clearing my plate, not walking away from a mess.

All six can be bought individually, or as a heavily discounted bundle if you want the full portfolio.

Running costs are close to zero across the board. The only paid asset to operate is WhatTheFood, Gemini API (~$2-3/mo) and Supabase (~$20/mo). Domain + hosting (Hostinger KVM4 VPS) are included in the sale and paid through late 2027.

Every solopreneur hits a point where they have to choose. I'm choosing my next big thing. Here's what I'm handing off:

1. ReadyFaucet .com - proven revenue, zero ad spend

Already did $14K in sales, entirely from organic Reddit posts - no paid ads. It's a "sell the shovels" style product, so scaling is straightforward: run an affiliate/referral program at 15% per sale, and hand off deployment to a dev (I can connect you with the one who's already handled 13 license sales/deployments at $50 a pop). At a $1,500 price point, that leaves the bulk as pure margin after commission. Good fit if you want a high-ticket, low-overhead offer with a track record instead of a cold start.

2. SpanglishTranslator .net - SEO play with the hard part already done

Built around "Spanglish Translator," a keyword with ~700K search volume and low competition. I've already built out 700+ programmatic SEO pages targeting it. Only ~50 of those 700+ are indexed so far - I've been rate-limited on manual indexing requests (10/day) and haven't had the bandwidth to push further. Early signal: ~$11 in ad revenue since launch with basically zero promotion, at a ~$0.55 CPC. Getting the rest indexed and adding affiliate/sponsor placements is the obvious next move for whoever takes this on.

3. BestPornFinder .net - aged domain with real history

Picked this up as an expired domain - it was a live adult aggregator dating back to 2020. I pulled the archived sitemap (internal links, pages, structure) and rebuilt the directory on top of it. Current DR is 40 with 100K+ backlinks; at its peak the domain had 12M backlinks, 53K+ referring domains, and an estimated 50K+ monthly visitors. Plenty of upside left in reclaiming even a fraction of that authority, whether you want to build it out or resell the domain itself. Included as part of the bundle.

4. AiAffList .com - affiliate directory in an evergreen niche

A clean foundation in AI affiliate marketing - a niche that isn't going anywhere. It needs consistent SEO and content work to grow, which is genuinely my strong suit, so I'm happy to advise post-sale if that's useful to the buyer.

5. AffLab .org - brandable domain

Short, clean, on-niche domain name. Dynadot has it appraised at $4K+.

6. WhatTheFood .io - the one with the best brand

This is the standout of the six in terms of brand and traction. "WTF" as wordplay gives it built-in virality on TikTok/Gen Z audiences, and it's backed up by real numbers:

• DR: 32, 2,800+ backlinks
• ARR: $1,400 (~$117 MRR)
• Monthly cost: ~$22 (Gemini API + Supabase)
• 2,200+ users, 100% organic
• 1.3M impressions / 27K clicks from Google since launch
• Ubersuggest estimates traffic value at $9K

Worth flagging: there's a real gap between the traffic and the revenue here, and I think I know exactly why. There's no automated email flow tied to user activity on the site - nothing nudging people to come back, nothing building urgency to subscribe. People generally need several touchpoints before they convert, and right now that follow-up simply doesn't exist. I've been too stretched to build it out since launch, but wiring up even basic behavior-triggered emails (signup, inactivity, etc.) is low-hanging fruit that could move conversions meaningfully. That gap alone might be the single easiest win for whoever takes this over.

Open to selling any of these individually, or the full set as a bundle at a steep discount if someone wants to take over the whole portfolio at once. Happy to share more numbers (analytics, revenue screenshots, backlink reports) to anyone seriously interested. I'm also offering my lifetime support and guidance to help you scale these things. I'm not in the market for hit and run, I'm here for long-term business relationships.

Hi everyone,

I’m starting a web design/digital infrastructure company. The idea is simple: we build websites and automations and deliver excellent service. I have extensive web design and automations experience, so I will mainly work any incoming projects until I run out of bandwidth. Then I’ll figure out whether to higher contractors for projects or pause taking on new work.

The problem I’m having now is customer acquisition. I’ve selected the niche of contractors/home services businesses to try to market to. I’ve done one project by referral for an auto parts e-commerce store. Customer was happy and will be a repeat client, but it wasn’t what I planned on doing. The higher margin work for me would be website design and offering growth services on retainer, so that’s my goal.

Here’s my question: what cost/time effective methods have you used to acquire customers?

Hi I'm a web dev, I design website and apps, I know how to code so I decided to go looking for a job I searched every where but without chance I just wanna know what Interest you (business owners) I even offered AI automation and workflows like chat bots or lead generation in addition to website making but without a chance I was so bored that I start making websites out of bordoom for free with chatbots to some family members any advices on how to find a better way to get a job

Hi everyone! I'm researching problems that business owners face every day.

I'm not selling anything or promoting a product—I just want to learn from real experiences.

If you run a business, I'd really appreciate your answers to these questions:

1. What's the biggest problem you face every day?
2. What task takes up the most time?
3. What's one thing you wish someone would build to make your work easier?

Thanks in advance! Your answers will really help me understand what people actually need.

edit: tnx to everyone who shared their stories. honestly, just stopped trying to be my own PM—it was killing my business and my sanity. decided to hand over the management and architecture to SoftDoes, and it’s been a massive relief to actually get straight answers about timelines and milestones. finally feel like I can get back to growing the company instead of chasing bugs. topic closed.

I am honestly about to lose my mind. I’ve been trying to act as the "product manager" for our custom app project for the last six months, and it has been a total disaster. I have no background in tech, and every time I talk to the developers, I feel like I'm speaking a different language.

We started this to streamline our ops, but instead, I'm spending my entire day chasing down bugs, dealing with broken test builds, and wondering why simple features are taking weeks to implement. I feel like I’m constantly being told that "it's complicated" or "there's a technical debt issue" whenever I ask for a basic update.

I’m exhausted. The whole point was to make the business run smoother, but I’ve just added a massive, expensive technical headache to my plate. At this point, I’m questioning if the project is even salvageable or if we just threw money into a black hole.

Has anyone else here tried to lead a development project without having a technical background? Do you just bite the bullet and bring in someone else to manage the process, or is there a way to actually get a grip on this mess without burning through the entire budget? I really need to know if it gets any easier.

I run a business, and one thing I’ve realized is that saving time usually isn’t about finding the perfect productivity app.

It’s more about noticing what keeps landing back on your plate that probably shouldn’t.

For me, the biggest time leaks are usually:
Checking email way too often
Re-explaining the same process instead of documenting it
Starting new tasks before finishing the ones already open
Doing small website/admin/CRM stuff that could probably be delegated or systemized

The “not me” list has helped me a lot.

Basically, I write down what I did this week and ask:

“Did this actually require me?”

And a lot of times, the answer is no.

I’m curious as to what other business owners do.

Hi everyone — I’m a first time wanna be entrepreneur. I recognized a social problem and I want to fix that but I also believe that we should never charge people for emotions etc

So do you guys have any other how can I developed my idea into something concrete?

And what are the monetization strategies you would recommend? For now, the obvious answer to me is freemium and b2b partnerships

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about helping people from all over the world enter the Japanese market.
I work as an international marketing consultant in Japan.

If you’ve ever wanted to do business in Japan, sell products here, or expand your company into Japan, let me know. I’d genuinely love to hear what you’re working on and see if I can help.
No sales pitch — just curious and happy to connect with people interested in Japan. 😊

We are building a tax service organisation and looking for creative ways to scale the org.

Offering free website development seemed to work to draw in smaller businesses - but would love to hear from the community about interesting ideas.

Guys I want to open my own company where business and company owners or other people can write me to solve their problem like automation,creating app/website/webapp and etc.Now I cold call to tour agencies and still I didn’t close deal and earn money.Maybe I’m doing smth wrong, can you guys give me advice?

Anyone else feel like your Google rating is basically a lie?

I run a small business, and I swear the review system is backwards. We'll have customers tell us to our face it was the best experience they've had in ages… and then walk out and never leave a review. Meanwhile the one person having a rough day leaves a 1-star before they've even made it to their car. 😅

So our rating never actually matched how good we are. And I hated the awkward "heyyy would you mind leaving us a review 🥺" message I'd send manually and then forget to send half the time.

So I built a little tool to fix it (calling it Nudgeo — founder here, being upfront). And full honesty: I'm not some super-educated developer or tech guy. I'm just a dude with a business who wanted more reviews and got tired of doing it the hard way. Somehow I duct-taped this thing together anyway.

What it does: after someone visits, it automatically texts/emails them a friendly nudge to leave a review — one tap, straight to Google, TripAdvisor, Facebook, or Yelp. And it gives every customer an easy way to just tell me directly if something was off, so I actually hear about it and can make it right, instead of finding out through a surprise review. You can also send out one request at a time. You can also brand the entire setup to match your brand and colors.

Nothing sketchy — it doesn't write reviews for people or hide anybody (Google would nuke you for that, and honestly it's gross). It just makes the asking automatic and consistent, which is the part I always dropped the ball on. We also provide QR codes that customers can scan directly from a piece of paper or from you phone if you hold it up to them. If they don't respond to the text or email, you can automatically have a follow up email sent later on.

Here's what I'm actually wondering, and why I'm posting:

Would you use something like this? And what would make it a genuine no-brainer vs. an "eh, I'll set it up later" (and then never do)?

Brutal honesty very welcome — I'd genuinely rather hear "this is pointless because X" now than find out later. Happy to share a link if anyone wants to poke at it, but mostly I just want to know if this is a real headache for other owners or if I'm the weird one.

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m currently building Prime Desk Solutions, a startup focused on helping small businesses and entrepreneurs grow through administrative support, customer service, lead generation, CRM management, and digital marketing.
However, I don’t want to build just another virtual assistant agency.
My goal is to create a company that genuinely solves problems for business owners.
I’d love to hear your honest opinions:
• What service do you wish agencies offered but rarely do?
• What’s the biggest pain point you’ve experienced when outsourcing work?
• If you owned a business, what would make you trust a company enough to hire them?
I’m currently designing our marketing strategy, pricing, and service packages, so any feedback is incredibly valuable.
Thanks in advance! 🚀

Most discussions about owning an online business skip the actual day to day of what the owner does once the thing is bought, which is the part that matters most to someone weighing whether to get involved

In the managed buy world the person putting up capital does not log into ad dashboards, does not approve creative, does not sit in on supplier calls, and does not get pulled into customer service escalations when a shipment goes missing

Their week looks nothing like an operators week, they get reporting on how the brand is doing and they hold their ownership position, thats the extent of the involvement

The way launch vector capital partners take part keeps that separation clean, they contribute and hold their stake while the operating side handles every task that would otherwise eat a normal owners calendar

So the honest answer to what does a capital partner actually do day to day is mostly nothing operational, which is the entire point for someone who already has a full schedule
