Who's the weirdo behind BUILD24?
Hi there
I'm Simo.
I'm a full-time academic (Ph.D. Computer Science, Professor) and digital creator.
At some point when I was just a college student, I started building interesting things online to learn and earn.
And then I never stopped.
It's in my blood now. And I want to invite you to the fast track into this world.
Before we get to the the why, here's just a sample of what I've done:
Weight loss site up and earning monthly passive income for over 13 years,
Wordpress plugins (yikes this was a mistake),
a boatload of paid advertising campaigns,
high-ticket lead generation for dentists,
email lists in a dozen niches,
coupon sites for families,
freebie curation site,
affiliate marketing,
consulting,
poll sites...
...and I probably forgot a handful! And deliberately left out many dodgy schemes in niches too dirty to talk about here I'm not too proud of anyway.
And my newest hobbies are high-ticket ones: 1-1 coaching and paid seminars.
Because this is pretty cool:
However!
This isn't just about money.
Sure, money is fun. But can you imagine how great it's to work on things with a purpose?
It's great.
My philosophy about building online now is about three things:
1) Learning new skills,
2) Exploring curiosities, and
3) The incredible freedom to build anything!
The first one is the big one.
Just as an example, you can learn to write better when you build and sell online.
For me, that skill has landed many of the big wins in my 9-5.
Here's a clip of a message one (rather famous) course owner sent to his tens of thousands of followers:
...I scored an almost one million dollar grant (at least partially) by learning to write as part of a fun side hobby.
Cool, eh?
This is what I want you to do as well: Take your personal and professional skillset to the next level by building a side business that helps you in some way.
Because a side business you build from the start for the right reasons enables you to:
In BUILD24, I will teach you everything I've learned over the past 15 years of continuous trial-and-error.
I'm leaving nothing out.
And I will bring in friends as co-instructors to share their experiences.
But you will also teach each other. Everyone has something to teach and share.
This is a four-week program for all of us to get better together.
For this time only, BUILD24 is free for you.
The next one will not.

Over the four weeks, Feb 20 - Mar 19 2023, you will:
Here's how, in practice:
When we launch, you'll be invited to a private Discord Server.
At the start of each week, you will get the learning materials: video lessons, task lists to complete, and live sessions with our guest teachers. Everything will be recorded and you can proceed at your own pace.
You will have access to Discord channels to brainstorm and network together at all times, and a new one will be opened for each of the separate stages of BUILD24.
And of course I will be there too!
But know that this is a group effort – chances are, you will have something to teach to everyone! So I invite you to do just that.
In four weeks from now, you could walk away with:

Frequently asked questions
The idea participant is an industry professional with a minimum of 2-3 years of experience. Any experience should be ok, as that typically mean you have some skills that others can benefit from. Don't overthink now – we'll help you figure out what's worthy of being productized!
In general, an eBook or a short video-based course. Some people have seen great success with short PDF checklists too, or simple Notion dashboards. We go for things that are easy to build, easy to sell. This is not for creating software, filling surveys or creating a business to walk the neighbourhood dogs. This is about information products online.
Not that much. But your product is not going to be building itself either. I suggest a minimum of 30-45 minutes of daily work. That guarantees a good outcome. You can take days off (we all have lives to lead) but consistency and not giving up is key.
You do. You really do. You just haven't done the work to find out what. In this course, you will do just that. And I'll help you. The trick is not in the skills, it's in the audience -- but you'll learn about this inside then!
About Simo Hosio, Ph.D.
Professor, Digital Creator
I'm a scientist-educator 9-5 and a creator 24/7. I've built, launched, failed, succeeded more times than I care to count over the past 15 years. And now I'm sharing the journey and empowering others do the same: Build a side business online that 1) looks and feels like you and 2) supports your professional growth, 3) forces you out of your comfort zone. And sure, it can also print you cash, no harm in that, but that's not our primary goal here.
