I've followed and admired @dvassallo over the last 6 months.
He quit his $500k salary at Amazon, built an audience from scratch and now makes 6-figures on his "small bets".
Here's 5 things that I learned

Here's 5 things that I learned
1) Money alone isn't a good motivator
He'd feel great initially after a promotion, but it soon wore off.
He searched for the intrinsic motivators that would last "for the next 45 years""

2) One great article > many subpar articles
600 followers from one blog post.
"I got my first 600 followers on the day I posted the blog post ...Over the next month, it grew to about 2000 followers, and it kept growing gradually a few hundred followers per month."

3) One great thread can spawn a product
"[My] tweet thread about AWS got me another 2000 followers or so, and I ended up with ~8000 followers gained.."
This thread gave him the initial traction he needed to place his first bet. An info product, which did $45k in sales

4) People want to hear from YOU
There's a massive amount of resources on the internet about AWS. There's 2,000 books on Amazon. If there was a niche that was considered too crowded, AWS is it.
Yet people wanted to learn from Daniel.
Don't discount your own voice.
