The founder usually lives to stream his work—very impressive skills.


I'm still making from my RoR consultant work.

1. Start making the first dollar 2. Pretty straightforward. Offering some APIs for web scraping. 0 pivots 3. Right now, 40USD/month, 1 client 4. Still a full-time worker 5. Solo 6. There are many web scraping websites which are very expensive or slow. I try to focus on fast and reliable with reasonable prices.


There are a lot of mobile proxies providers out there. You can quickly search and ask for a trail. The key is to retry the requests with different proxies. Otherwise, you have to pay for captcha resolver services. You should negotiate with proxy providers to ask them for quality proxies, so you don't need to manage captchas(they will manage for you).

if you want to scrape popular website like google, bing,... You should sub to some SASS. They provide you the APIs.
