He Put a Paywall on Drinking Water & Escaped The Matrix

💬 Cormac Hayden tweets a screenshot of $23,084 received from Apple Inc and adds…

Still can’t believe I wake up to this every month

No ads
No investors
No outsourcing
No coding degree

His product is Oasis, an app that reports on water quality 💦

Cormac built the app with “cursor and chat” – so basically figuring it out as he went along – and started with 0 followers.

Took him several months to gain traction, sounds like TikTok was key 👍

One doubter tweeted…

Great idea, horrible execution bro. In a world of free accessible information nobody is paying a subscription to look ar water stats

Clearly not the case.

Trademarkia ($5M/year) is another example of a business making big money selling data they don’t own 😎

What other info is freely available but hard to access or interpret?

Try building a business around that.
