Who it’s for

Business owners, marketers, freelancers and agencies who need more people to find them.

Adapt it to your industry

  • Restaurant: weekly posts about specials, written in your voice
  • Real estate agent: a listing description and three social posts for every new home
  • Coach or consultant: turn one client win into a post, an email and a short video script

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 ChatGPT, Claude or Grok plus a scheduler such as Buffer 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

Add a paid "SEO scan" feature: run an npm audit package against a submitted URL, store results, and gate the full report behind Stripe checkout.

What they did

He uses Claude Code with Opus for everything, plus MCPs such as Stripe’s. He ran the product free for about three months (3k free users, about $2k in API costs), then converted with founders pricing, and added SEO scans over time.

How it went

He reports almost $10k a month in MRR; 83 comments discussed the stack.

Worth knowing

Free periods cost real API money; a commenter warns vibe-coded infrastructure gets harder to debug as usage grows.
