How To Build a No Code Software Money Printer [Ch. 2 of 3]
Welcome to Part 2 of how to build a no code software money printer.
So, first of all, how did the journalling exercise go yesterday?
Do you have your massive app idea yet?
Hopefully you do, because in this one i’m going to tell you how to make it a reality.
If you missed part 1, you can read it here.
Let’s dive into part 2 shall we…
Part 2: “Just Google It”
There I was, sitting at my desk on that cold January night, in awe, knowing I was sitting on a multi million dollar, potentially billion dollar app idea…
So - I did the only logical first step I could do.
I called my friend Nick.
Who is Nick?
At the time, Nick was the CTO of First Republic Bank. He managed 70,000 developers under him.
Insane!
He had also appeared on shark tank several times for apps he had built. Pretty wild. And had an app or 2 get a million plus downloads from the app store.
This is partly why I preach building your social circle / tribe so much, because i didn’t just call any developer.
I called legit one of the top devs in the world. Free webinar on tribe building here.
Anyway, I called Nick, gleaming with excitement at what he might now tell me.
He must have some secret millionaire tech wizard information that only he can impart to me.
I felt like a prophet about to receive my divine revelation from God.
Me receiving my divine message from Nick
I was ready for my master to give me my teaching. And so I said:
“Nick. I’ve got my billion dollar app idea. What shall I do? Do I need to raise money? Hire a dev team? Learn to code!?!?”
Nick chuckled. “No haha. Honestly dude, you can probably just google it.”
What
. .. . the fuck?
“Just google it?”
This must be a joke.
I was on the phone with one of the most talented developers in the world and he’s just told me to just google it.
You have got to be kidding me.
But alas…
he wasn’t.
Nick went on to explain that most of a developer’s work day consists of just googling stuff, that it’s not that challenging, and that you can often just start by piecing pre-existing tech together like legos.
Interesting. Ok.
Well, often the highest truths are the most simple.
But it takes wisdom and experience in life to truly capture their divine meaning.
Very interesting.
But another problem… I didn’t have time for this.
I had my main job which was making youtube videos and running my merch company. I wasn’t sure how I would be able to make time to teach myself how to learn and play “technology legos”.
But then, May 2020, the pandemic hit.
And all of the sudden we were all in Lock down. And now I had no excuse.
I didn’t have a valid excuse to be honest in the first place… Definitely could have found the time… But this really shut everything down so that my vlogs didn’t really make sense to focus on…
And i just went full time on ‘coding’ maxi.

Ps - in tomorrow’s email, I’ll actually be breaking down what I found.
It will be an action packed guide to no code building.
But want you to sit on this idea.
How much more could you accomplish if you literally just googled shit?
