While most 17-year-olds were scrolling through Reels or grinding exams, this one figured out how to make $3,217 using nothing but a laptop, some curiosity, and a free tool called n8n.
No coding degree.
No funding.
It's just pure execution.
Here’s how he pulled it off and how you can too.

What Even Is n8n?​

Think of it like Lego blocks for automating the internet.
  • Connect apps (Notion, Airtable, WhatsApp, Gmail, whatever)
  • Set triggers (like “when a form is submitted”)
  • Automate what happens next (like “send a personalized email”)
It’s like Zapier but cheaper, open-source, and way more flexible.
A perfect playground for a broke-but-curious 17-year-old.

The $3,217 Idea​

“I saw business owners doing the same crap every day manually exporting data, emailing clients, updating sheets. I thought… what if I do it for them using n8n?”
