Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

100-dollar-startup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The $100 Startup — 极低成本微型创业框架

你不用 MBA、不用风投、不用详尽计划。你只需要三样东西:一个产品或服务、一群愿意付钱的人、一个收钱的方式。

这本书研究了 1500+ 个体创业者,提炼出通用规律。核心发现:最成功的微型创业起步平均只需 $100。


框架一:Convergence 收敛模型

这是全书最核心的框架。 找到你擅长/热爱的事和别人愿意付钱的事之间的交集。

       你的激情/技能        别人愿意付钱的
       ┌─────────┐         ┌─────────┐
       │ 爱吃披萨 │         │ 需要减肥 │
       │ 会弹吉他 │         │ 想学吉他 │
       │ 会写代码 │   ──→   │ 要建网站 │
       └────┬────┘         └────┬────┘
            │                   │
            └──── 交集 = 生意 ──┘

注意:不是你喜欢的都能卖。我爱吃披萨但没人付钱让我吃。关键是找到 我喜欢且有人需要的那个点

收敛公式

激情或技能 + 实用性 = 成功

即:Passion or Skill + Usefulness = Success

检查清单

  1. 这个事我喜欢做(或者至少不排斥)吗?
  2. 有人愿意为此付钱吗?
  3. 这个交集够大,能支撑起一份收入吗?

框架二:Skill Transformation 技能转化

你不是只擅长一件事。把多项普通技能组合起来,就是独特价值。

Scott Adams(呆伯特漫画家)自评

  • 绘画水平:一般
  • 写作水平:还行
  • 幽默感:普通
  • 商业经验:有点

每一项单独都不突出,但四项凑在一个人身上,就是独一无二

技能转化三步

  1. 列出你的所有技能(不只是工作技能——爱好、生活技能也算)
  2. 圈出 2-3 个能组合的技能(教师 = 教学 + 沟通 + 组织 + 共情)
  3. 问自己:这个组合能解决谁的问题?

案例:钢琴老师 Brandon 发现自己最烦的是管理学生排课收费。他会一点编程 → 写了个排课软件 → 其他老师也要 → 月入 $30,000。


框架三:微型创业三要素

任何生意,拆到最简就是三个东西:

┌──────────────────────────────────┐
│  ① 产品/服务  →  你卖什么         │
│  ② 客户       →  谁愿意付钱       │
│  ③ 收钱方式   →  怎么完成交易     │
└──────────────────────────────────┘

缺一不可。有客户没产品 = 有需求没供给。有产品没客户 = 自嗨。都有但没法收钱 = 白干。


框架四:一页商业计划

如果商业计划超过一页纸,说明你想太多了。

不需要 50 页的 BP。只需要回答:

  1. 价值主张:你帮谁解决什么问题?
  2. 客户来源:第一批客户从哪来?
  3. 收入模型:怎么定价?卖什么?(产品/服务/订阅/组合)
  4. 启动成本:最少花多少钱能跑起来?
  5. 第一步行动:今天就能做的一件事是什么?

框架五:不可抗拒的 Offer

不是你卖什么,是你怎么卖

三步打造 Killer Offer

  1. 快速给价值:客户花钱后立刻得到什么?(不要让他们等)
  2. 消除风险:退款保证 / 试用期 / 不满意退钱
  3. 超出预期:加赠品 / 额外服务 / 惊喜(客户觉得"赚到了"就帮你传播)

定价铁律

  • 不要按成本定价,按价值定价
  • 如果没人嫌贵,说明你定价太低了
  • 涨价是最好的增长策略——多出来的利润可以用来服务更少的客户

框架六:一页推广计划

广告是付费的。Hustling(推广)是免费的。而且 Hustling 效果更好。

Guillebeau 做了测试:$10,000 广告 vs 10 小时免费推广。结果:

广告 Hustling
成本 $10,000 10 小时
新客户 78 84
客户价值 $7,020 $7,560

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
