Who it’s for

People who build or maintain software, and non-developers who want a small tool made for them.

Adapt it to your industry

  • Shop owner: a small script that exports orders to a spreadsheet every night
  • Agency: a reusable starter template for client websites
  • Healthcare or legal office: a simple internal form that saves to a shared sheet

Step by step

  1. Write down one problem a specific group of people pays to solve (for example “gym owners losing members”).
  2. Open ChatGPT, Claude or Grok and paste the prompt below to sharpen the idea and list what the first version must do.
  3. Use Cursor or Claude Code to make the first version of the product for one type of customer.
  4. Create a Stripe account and a Payment Link so people can pay from day one.
  5. Make a one-page website that explains the problem, the fix and the price.
  6. Show it to 10 people from your target group and change what confuses them.
  7. Launch where those people already gather, then ask every new user for feedback.

Ready-to-copy prompt

How to make money from it

Pricing idea: Sell it as a small tool: a one-time setup fee plus a low monthly price for hosting and fixes, or a self-serve plan from about $10–50 a month.

Finding your first 10 customers

  • Fix a real problem for 3 people you already know, for free, in exchange for honest feedback.
  • Post a short demo video where your audience hangs out (X, LinkedIn, Reddit, a Slack or Discord group).
  • Ask each happy user for one introduction to someone with the same problem.

Ideas, not promises. Results vary.
