Ex-Con Earning $5K/Week in This Rapidly Growing Market

  • $5389 revenue in 1 week

Jay shares how he earned $5389 in a recent 7-day period 👇

I run a small [3D print] farm primarily selling earrings and a few functional items on amazon. I design all my own product, advertise and run the operation.

📝 Elsewhere he writes

I started with 1k and about 6 months watching YouTube tutorials on design. Then I bought a 3d printer and tested my new skills. 2 years later, we own about 10k in machines and 5k in other equipment. I have filled over 10k orders this year…

Printers in the $1k range now compete with $10k printers of 5-7 years ago. That’s just how fast the times have shifted, I think its one of the most rapidly growing markets outside AI atm…

It involves more critical thinking and creativity than it does actual book knowledge. I have no college degree related to engineering or design. If you put 500 hours into a skilled trade you will be good.

Browsing his Reddit posts, it seems Jay is an autistic ex-con with two autistic kids 👀

He reckons entrepreneurship is easier now than it’s ever been…

I am going to sell a business and a piece of tech I designed myself entirely over the past two years. I literally have no coding experience and I have designed a piece of software already making me thousands a month. I feel like im a part of the dot com boom and everyone else is sleeping. I will make a few million by end of 2027 and never work again.
