Sharing a "idiot" method of building a web tool as a side job

Just admit, it's a talent to constantly bring up brilliant ideas, and most of us don't come across that ideas for most of our time.

👑👑 So you don't have to wait for the inspiration come before starting. 👑👑

🎯 Here's a "idiot" method that's applicable for building a web tool easily: take use of the asymmetric information.

In short, there are plenty open-source data api in the internet, but not everyone knows how to find them and use them.

What you can do is to:
1️⃣ choose a niche market
2️⃣ find open-source applicable integrations
3️⃣ reorganize, desensitize and visualize the data you get
4️⃣ publish those data on a website or an application (make it easy for look up)
5️⃣ start earning

That's it -- Make money with tiny workloads and asymmetric information! Need not cost, neither groundbreaking ideas.

My case:

Everyone who's engaged in eCommerce knows definitely how important it is to find the correct products to sell. It's the very essential step.

So I and my team made out tools that help sellers find profitable products, of course, based on our self-developed model. We charge for this service and it indeed makes money.

I hope my experience can be any of help to you.

If you are itch for a try, action is always better than hesitation! 🍺🍺🍺
