He Built a Micro App With AI and Sold it For $3000

JayFounder of Best Of AI $3000 app sale

Jay tweets…

I just built as micro app using bolt.new and sold it for $3k.

Hottest opportunity right now is building micro apps that do one specific thing and selling them.

Bolt.new is an AI-powered app development platform

Jay elaborates that the project was more of a commission for a client…

Went to a mastermind in Oct – connected with the buyer

Showed the buyer a demo of something i built for myself early Nov,

Mid november i played around with bolt

Built project for him in bolt, showed demo

Requested 3k via invoice. Invoice paid.

So the play here would be

Set yourself up as an app developerFind clients who need apps to solve specific problemsBuild solutions with bolt.new (or similar)

These guys have done something similar…

He Built 300 Apps in 3 Years and Earned $1+ MillionHe Went From $0 to $18,000 in Only 2 Months

$4000 Per Month Reverse Job Board

RailsDevsReverse Job Board $4000 monthly revenue

From the Micro Saas Idea newsletter

Reverse Job Boards are a new thing that is gaining traction. 

Instead of displaying jobs, the reverse job boards display candidates’ information and their interests. Instead of candidates searching for jobs, companies search for candidates in a predefined curated database listing. 

You can pretty much bring this model to any niche/segment. 

For example, RailsDevs applied the same model for Rails Developers and crossed $4K MRR. On top of the monthly subscription, RailsDevs also charges approximately $10K-$20K for every hire as a referral fee. 

MyPerfectJob is applying the same concept to Product Managers. 

Pick a specific segment like Front end devs, Cloud devs, and Web3 devs and apply the concept of Reverse Job Boards. 

It might need some initial effort to ping people and explain and ask the candidates to register to your listing. But once you have about 100-200 candidates, it will be in a good shape and you can start charging companies a subscription fee.

2 Startup Marketplaces To Accelerate Your Progress

Often the hardest part of entrepreneurship is coming up with an idea and getting that initial traction

With that in mind, check out these two low-cost startup marketplaces…

CodeThriftSaaSLiquidate

Lots of projects for sale there, some for as little as $100

If you’ve got some marketing skills, you could buy a project you like, maybe bring on a developer to build it out a bit more, then use your marketing skills to boost revenue.

Or if you’re an aspiring developer you could get your hands on something that already works pretty good and practice your craft making it even better

Also an opportunity here to buy something, make some quick improvements, and try flip for a nice profit.

Paid Newsletter Breaking Down Viral Short-Form Videos

A recent post on Reddit

I analyzed 306 short-form videos with 1M+ views — this 1 format keeps going viral

The author goes on to break down the format and shares an AI prompt you can use to create a similar script for any niche

Lots of hate in the comments for promoting this kind of content, but the post has 350+ upvotes, so clearly there’s a silent majority that wants more tips like this.

How about creating a newsletter along those lines?

Analyze viral short-form videos, break them down, and share AI prompts to help people script something similar.

Could have a free and premium version of the newsletter

Similar to Jason Levin’s Meme Mail which we covered back in August.

In September Jason tweeted that his newsletter “already has 100s of paying subscribers and is profitable.”

Using AI To Summarize 100+ Page Websites

Sam Parr tweets…

Question: how can I use AI to summarize 100+ page websites?

He gives the example of this forum post…

this small coat maker has 500 pages. Mostly reviews + the founder replying to questions.

How can I easily upload these 500+ pages to AI and ask it questions?

Will replied with a solution he built in 45 minutes: forumscraper.com

But he admits it doesn’t work perfectly and it’s not optimized for SEO or anything.

How about building a better, SEO-optimized version?

Keyword research required to figure out the best angle

A version of this could also be used by big review sites to produce AI summaries, perhaps sell it as an embeddable tool.

His Local Marketing Agency = $500K Gross Profit This Year

Jake HundleyFounder of Evergrow Marketing $500,000 annual gross profit

Check out Evergrow Marketing.

They help local lawn care and landscaping businesses with their online presence

Web design, SEO, paid ads, etc.

Jake Hundley started the business in 2017, took on a partner in 2019, and recently revealed on Reddit…

We’ll hit over $500k in Gross Profit this year.

He also has a blog post about how he got started

Basically took free Google courses to become Google Analytics and Google Ads certified, practiced by working for churches for free.

Niching down was key

Jake already had some familiarity with “the green industry.”

Also on Reddit he writes…

I started at like $50/hr…

As I positioned myself to be an actual, scalable agency, then the agency rate shifted to $100/hr, then $125/hr, then $150/hr.

This model could work in many places, and for many different niches.

What local businesses could you help with marketing?

Stay-At-Home Dad: $285K/Year Quietly Teaching What He Knows

Leo TrieuFounder of Code4Startup $285,000 average annual revenue

Leo Trieu is the founder of Code4Startup…

a Saas Code School for Founders, Marketers, Freelancers & more

He teaches coding via video tutorials, gives a lot away for free and charges $39/month for extras

Leo writes that he’s a stay-at-home dad of 2 kids, and…

Being a solo founder and a maker, I crossed $2M milestone over the course of 7 years by teaching thousands of people how to code and build meaningful stuff.

He recently tweeted…

Just crossed $150K+ teaching AI – and it all started from the gold I found in this community on Twitter (X).

Presumably that’s $150K in the last ~2 years.

He only has ~2200 followers on X, and no huge following elsewhere

Best I can tell, his main marketing channel is Udemy, where he has one free + one paid course with ~145,000 students combined.

Goes to show that you can chip away online teaching what you know and earn a great income, no massive social media presence required.

What could you teach?

She Earns $10,000 Per Event Selling Other People’s Clothes

Sarah McAffryFounder of Statemint Consignment $10,000 revenue per event

An interview with Sarah McAffry of Statemint Consignment…

How to Start a Clothing Consignment Business: $10k+ Per Event

Sarah sells other people’s unwanted clothing on their behalf and takes a percentage.

But she’s selling at temporary in-person events (ie. consignments), not online…

Sarah believes the event model, with its built-in urgency and scarcity, is what makes it work. They’re only open 10 days a year (split between two events), which creates that “you snooze, you lose” mentality that drives sales.

Sarah’s business has expanded to 23 locations across the USA and she now has a franchise program

You could try doing this yourself or team up with her…

The timing seems right. According to ThredUp’s latest report, the resale market is growing 15x faster than traditional retail.

You could also try this for items other than clothing. 

Maybe help people clean out their garage or attic, then sell the stuff on their behalf, take a cut

$8600/Month By Focusing On His Own Demographic

Danny Miró-ChineaFounder of Comprende $8600 monthly revenue

Danny Miró-Chinea is the founder of Comprende, an $8.6K per month “media and consulting agency focused on the U.S. Latino demographic.”

Danny noticed the trend to support Black-owned businesses, and decided to do something similar for Latinos

He began with a newsletter on the topic about a year ago, then started making videos back in January.

Danny’s first video on Instagram

A month later…

I made a video on the founder of a Latina-owned financial technology startup. She happened to see it, subscribed to Comprende’s newsletter, and then DM’d me on instagram the next day asking if A) I spoke Spanish and B) If I was open to paid collaborations.

He ended up selling her a monthly retainer to help with social media content and strategy.

So began Danny’s agency

What demographic are you a part of?

How about setting up your own agency – social media or otherwise – and focusing 100% on that demographic?

Earning $250/Day From Vietnam With Non-Viral Videos

Alex NguyenFounder of Feynman AI $250 daily revenue

Check out Feynman.ai…

An AI-powered platform to make reading, writing and understanding academic literature easier.

Founder Alex Nguyen lives in Vietnam and recently tweeted about his marketing strategy…

I went from earning $40/month to $600/day… and then maintaining $200-$300/day on average, all in one night, without spending anything on ads

He’s doing it via short-form video examples on TikTok

Most of his videos get <1000 views…

I’ve never had a viral video, and my highest view count is only 18k.

He’s making all the videos himself, mainly shooting footage of his laptop/screen, showing what it’s like to use the app

Then filling in the rest of the videos with b-roll and random images of people studying. Overlaid with music. 

So nothing fancy, not hard to replicate.

How about starting an agency and making these kinds of videos for clients?

Or find an app you like with a generous affiliate program and drive referrals using Alex’s approach.
