My goal was to launch a single digital offering / service or product and launch it in less than 6 hours and make USD $10,000 in the first month.

1. Find value proposition (Bootstrapped startups need quality design services but don't want to pay agency prices) 2. Find business model (fixed fee per month for almost unlimited design service) 3. Find how you can fit value prop with business model & be profitable (flew to SE asia to meet designers there & live there a few months) 4. Make it scalable (set up quality control processes & communication processes) 5. Code (actually did not code much, used Paywhirl for the payment / membership system) 6. Launch

Here is the breakdown of my expenses:

1. Namecheap .co domain name - $8.88 2. OVH vps - $6/month ($72/year) 3. Themeforest template - ~12$

Total: $92.88

The project generated ~$3k in the first week of its operations (though most of it is not actually profits - but I am already in the green :))
