Hello !

My name is Moon . I am a 22 year old female , from Eastern Europe.

I am not interested in doing sketchy things , like OF , I want honest work actually 🙂🙂🙂

I live with my parents , I am trying to move out but whenever I get the chance to make a loan or something in order to move out , my parents usually do something bad , like coming to work and talking to my bosses in order to make me quit or to just make them push me in order to quit.

This summer I worked for someone , like they knew the place and all of that , even the boss , I ended up having an argument with my mother and I had some extras that I was keeping just in case , and a few days later they came to my working place which they ruined again .

I do intend to move out from this house , but one of the things that I am confronted with is that whenever I get enough money for that or I get to the point where I need just a few days until I can apply for a loan because I match all the conditions for that .

In this moment I have like 500€ in my pocket which is too little to cover up a rent or something and I do believe that in the next few weeks they're gonna be gone since my parents keep on pressuring me to pay some things of theirs which bring me no benefit at all

I am looking forward to start a source of income or something that I can work from home because the place I live is like 20 kilometers away from the city , the place I worked this summer was 4 kilometers away from my home and I used to go by foot to it , but in September all of that was over because the town doesn't have an all year round business around.

I checked all kind of things, from dropshipping , PoD , editing , trying to get an online certification , but I am kinda lost to be honest at this point.

In highschool I used to study Maths and IT , followed by an unfinished Bachelor Degree in Law .

I signed up to sites like data annotation and I tried to partner up with someone by renting an account , I even tried to sell some of my games in order to make it work , but none of those had a substantial source that could help me move out.

I do know that no money is falling from the sky and I do want some recommendations on what I can work on in order to move out faster because it's suffocating.

Hi all.

I'm a website developer, and I'm looking for an agency to partner up with.

My idea is that you refer me to your clients, and for each successful sale, you'll get a commission. For example, if I sell a $500 website to one of your clients through you, you'll get $70-$100. Plus, I'll make a free professional website for you if you'd like.

Ofc, if you have any better suggestions, I'm open to them.

DM me if you're interested.

I’m not going to hype this. I’ve used every major AI tool for the past two years. Most of them are just faster interns that still need you to do the real work. Grok Bot is the first one that feels different.

It has its own persistent computer. It can log into tools, work across apps and websites, keep going while I sleep, and only come back when it needs a decision. I can spin up multiple bots and they pass work between each other.

Here’s what I’m actually using it for as a founder

I give it overnight objectives - research a competitor set, draft personalized outreach in my voice, clean lead lists, or build landing page variants. I wake up to finished work instead of a longer to-do list.

I’ve got one bot that constantly scans X and the web for raw pain points in my space. Not the polished LinkedIn version, the actual frustrated posts. That’s how I’m finding problems before they get crowded.

Another one red-teams my ideas hard. I make it attack from the competitor’s perspective, a tough VC, and a technical angle, then force it to build the counters. Keeps me honest.

The most useful (and uncomfortable) one is the self-deception detector. I tell it to call out every rationalization I make about traction or progress. It does. It’s annoying and necessary.

It’s not free and it’s still early. But the leverage is real. I’m moving faster with less burnout than I was three months ago.

If you’re still only using AI to write emails and summarize notes, you’re leaving a lot on the table.

I have got the prompt/Instruction that you can use it with Grok Bot to carry out the above task, happy to share, if someone needs it...

Unlike everyone that from USA, I’m from Thailand and I would love to seek an idea to make a business that solve something can be internationally. I even know how to start it properly but I will bc I believe the action will lead to it somehow. My friend start clothing business and it’s failed, they also did the food truck project which I was participating in, yet it fail at last. I trying to go for drop shipping or e-commerce but yeah it didn’t go that far. So I started to implement my family business on have AI to reply chat or build google profile to help my parents it’s doing okay, but I need something more. Thank you so much in advance for reply.

If you had to choose a new for a new music artist, more specifically pop music what would it be? I’ve been thinking about this way too much and genuinely can’t come up with anything I like. AI is giving me absolute nonsense at this point. Basically, if you were approaching it from a business/branding perspective rather than just “this sounds cool,” what name would you choose?

I’m 22. My friend and I talk business pretty much every day, and honestly it’s just the two of us in there so far. It’s been useful, but it’d be a lot more useful with a few more people who aren’t each other.

On my end, I can handle most of what a small company needs. Coding in Python, HTML, web design, app design and development, content creation, shooting and editing, plus the finance, business and operations side. So I’m not turning up empty handed looking for someone to do the work.

I’ve also got a few ideas of my own that I’m already working on and could genuinely use help with. And if you’ve got ideas you want to bring, I’m just as happy to put work into those.
Ideally you know your way around AI, or at least really want to learn it. A lot of what I’m building leans on it. I’ve got money to put in on my side, so if we end up building something together we wouldn’t be starting from nothing. Not looking for gurus or anyone selling a course. Just people who want somewhere to think out loud and maybe find a cofounder out of it. Comment or DM me and I’ll send the link. Or just join in my bio

This might sound a bit weird, asking strangers on Reddit for business ideas, but I’m honestly a bit tired and stuck at the moment.
I’m a CFO with a finance/business background, and I really want to build something on the side.
I’m not looking for the next million-dollar idea. Even making my first **€10/month** from something I built would make me happy and give me some momentum.
SaaS, small online business, boring business, automation, niche service… I’m open to anything.
So yeah, I’m asking for a little help.
If you’ve seen a problem that needs solving, or have an idea you’ve always thought someone should build, I’d genuinely love to hear it.

I’m building a small travel business called Go2Ceylon, based around a fairly simple service: we create personalised Sri Lanka travel itineraries for foreign tourists.

The customer fills out a questionnaire telling us their travel dates, budget, interests, preferred travel style, etc. We then create a personalised itinerary showing them where to go, how to structure their trip, recommended hotels, restaurants, attractions, and travel routes.

The itinerary costs $10, so we’re aiming for a relatively high-volume, low-ticket model rather than selling expensive tours or packages. We don't actually operate tours or book hotels for customers; we provide the planning and recommendations.

Our target customers are international travellers planning trips to Sri Lanka, particularly people from markets such as the UK, India, Germany, Australia and the US.

We’ve been working on the business and our website/social media for around two months, but we haven't had our first paying customer yet.

We’re currently looking at content marketing, Instagram/TikTok, partnerships with accommodation providers, and direct outreach, but I’d like to hear from people who have actually built or marketed small online businesses:

What are the best low-cost ways you would recommend for getting our first 10–20 foreign customers?

Would you focus on direct outreach, travel communities, Reddit/Facebook groups, marketplaces like Fiverr/Upwork, paid advertising, partnerships, SEO, or something completely different?

I’m particularly interested in strategies that can work with a very small budget and generate actual paying customers rather than just followers or views.

Any honest criticism of the business model or advice on how you'd approach customer acquisition would also be appreciated.

Hi, I’m starting my second startup after my first one failed due to flaws we couldn’t fix with what we had and because my partner was basically ghosting me the entire time. I already have an idea in mind, but any startup is way harder if you don’t have someone to share the struggles and successes with; that’s why I'm looking for a partner for the second time. I would prefer if the person had even a bit of tech experience since it’s one of my weakest points. Please don’t DM me if you are not ready actually to create and take responsibility, not just disappear. Also, I’m doing it mostly for experience; if we can get money in the future, cool, if not, well, at least we have something that we actually built.

Currently at what feels like a cross roads I want to start a Recruiting agency and am very passionate about it. I love sales and I love people so I thought this would be the perfect industry to get into. Recently though after getting all things finished coming up with scripts making my website, my game plan, my ICP and all of my paperwork in order. My next step is to do market research and fully lock everything else. I work as an SDR in a remote b2b company and it takes up all the actual business time (9-6 shift) I can start prospecting and what not on my lunch breaks but after I get my first client and first hire I am kind of stuck whether or not I should go part time or actually quit my job to focus fully on this. I know this business is going to work out I am extremely delusional about this working out. So the belief isn't the problem I am just worried my job is going to hold me back and make everything 100 times harder. Just want some advice from real humans instead of chat gbt. I am very much I have to go all in and "burn my boats" to give my 110%. type of person. Anyways any advice helps thank you!
