Back to How Nat Eliason’s OpenClaw earned $177,417, with Nat Eliason.

How Did Felix's Account Take OpenClaw Past a Thousand Dollars?

Nat Eliason handed Felix an X account at the beginning of January to test how far OpenClaw could go as an independent entity on the internet. Felix built a complete website and created a PDF info product about hiring and using OpenClaw in a business. The product earned over a thousand dollars in sales the first day after launch on X.

The challenge required Felix to come up with a product that Felix could entirely make on his own and have ready for sale by morning. Felix completed the site, the PDF, and all setup except for the Stripe API keys overnight. Nat reviewed the product in the morning and approved the launch. Sales reached over a thousand dollars the first day.

Nat Eliason never read the PDF before approval. Andrew Warner pointed out the thin piece of work and explained how Nat Eliason would have redone the whole thing from scratch if Nat Eliason had edited the PDF.
