A 12-step resource list for solo devs building overseas websites, plus a reality check

@qloog curated a 12-step resource list for solo devs building overseas websites: niche selection (4 site types beyond AI tool sites), a case study of an AI tool site making $1,500 in 5 days, AI-driven full-funnel acquisition-to-delivery, open-source landing page design rules, a 24h automated topic pipeline, 10 backlink marketplaces, GEO tactics (one blog post getting 50K impressions and ChatGPT recommendations), manual cold-start for the first 100 users, Reddit arbitrage, X growth tips, 11 payment options, and infra setup order (network, overseas numbers, HK/US cards). @sujingshen's reality check: lists are satisfying to save, but the hard parts are getting the first users and collecting payments reliably — the website-building middle is now the least valuable part.
