I have been studying market and have came up with a few ideas. I tried testing a couple of them which got nowhere. Reading stories of founders who made 10k-25k MRR, it seems that most of these people were working on something similar in consulting roles or they had in-depth knowledge of industries(sales/marketing founders). How do I, as a low key backend engineer, who has mostly worked at mega corps come up with idea that can make at least 25k MRR? As some of you might have witnessed, engineering remains far removed from business. Second part is, where do I find people who are going to pay for my app? Cold call or cold emails have very low conversion rates from my observation. What is it that your company would pay $200 a year?

Do you do anything special or just treat it like every other day?

For me it was Forty Rules of Love, by Elif Shafak, and it greatly changed my understanding of my faith.
