211 Days Till I Turn 18 | Building Something Monetizable Challenge — Day 10: A Paid Opportunity Might Be Starting
Day 10.
I’m finally trying to lock in properly now.
Today I researched a few ways to improve the accuracy of the guitar tab generator, especially when analysing recorded videos.
I also showed the project, still very tentative, to two guitarists and talked to them about how they’d actually use something like this.
And then something completely separate happened.
Through some private networking, not Reddit, I might potentially get paid for something else I’ve been working around.
Nothing is confirmed yet, so I don’t want to say too much.
But it could turn into something interesting.
I’ll share the details in the next update.
How much of getting your first paid opportunity is actually building skill, and how much is just talking to the right people?
