New: every playbook now leads with the honest number — what you'd really make, what it costs to start, and what kind of business it is. Plus how we work it out.
Everyone's got a first buck. FirstBuck helps you get yours.
Forty-five small businesses, each one costed out honestly: what you'd realistically make in a month, when the first dollar lands, and what it takes to start. Then a 30-day plan built around the city you actually live in.
THE HONEST NUMBER
Every playbook leads with a realistic monthly range for one person starting from nothing — not a best case, not a highlight reel. Under it sits the receipt: what the job pays, what the materials cost, what's actually left. A letter grade for the opportunity, and a stamp for what KIND of business it is — SOLID, SEASONAL, LICENSE-GATED, SLOW RAMP, THIN MARGIN or CAPITAL-HEAVY. That stamp is usually the one fact that decides whether it suits you.
WE SHOW OUR WORK
Open "How we get our numbers" in Settings and you'll find where the figures come from, what we subtract, and what we can't know. These are honest estimates for a beginner working solo — stated plainly, never dressed up, never a promise.
DO IT IN YOUR CITY
Tap "Do this in my city" and FirstBuck builds a plan around where you live — real nearby venues and prospects, the permits you'll need, word-for-word scripts to make the first call, and a 30-day checklist. One task a day.
STAMP YOUR PROGRESS
Check off each day. Watch the streak build. When your first real dollar comes in, log it — and FirstBuck engraves it onto your own first buck to tape to the wall. The first of many.

Ratings & Reviews

Every playbook now leads with the honest number: a realistic monthly range for one person starting out, when the first dollar lands, and what it costs to begin.
New stamps tell you what KIND of business it is at a glance — SOLID, SEASONAL, LICENSE-GATED, SLOW RAMP, THIN MARGIN or CAPITAL-HEAVY. It's usually the one fact that decides whether a hustle suits you.
And a new page in Settings, "How we get our numbers", lays out exactly where every figure comes from, what we subtract, and what we can't know.
