I use tech to do non-tech things. There's a huge demand for that.
In my case I help people settle in Germany. It's just a website plus a few widgets that support the content. There's just enough tech to scratch an itch, but without the meetings, the sprints and the other corporate annoyances.
I started the website 7 years ago out of frustration with local bureaucracy, and it became my full time job 3 years ago.
I don't think that I was tired of tech. I was just tired of office life in general. I much prefer the chaotic, unstructured nature of self-employment.
- frfl 3y agoHow does your website generate revenue? I'm assuming it more of a online service platform for new immigrants rather than a immigration blog or guide?
- nicbou 3y agoAffiliate links. Immigrants need certain things. I'm affiliated with pretty much all available options, so I can be honest without torpedoing my income.
- frfl 3y agoI'm assuming it's the website linked in your HN profile. Well done, it looks really nice, it seems quite useful for immigrants without being just ad-focused.
