5 things you can build with claude this weekend and sell on monday:
1. a tiny app for your job
2. a template you already use
3. a habit tracker
4. a course from your own notes
5. a tool that saves someone 10 minutes a day
how i got my first customer conversation:
reply to people
reply to people every day
reply to people every day even when nobody replies back
reply to 300 people a day even when nobody replies back for a week
the early mistake is doing everything at once.
one product. one kind of customer. one place you show up.
do that until it works. then add the second thing.
new apps on the app store doubled this year.
downloads went up 2%.
ai made building cheap. it did nothing for getting noticed.
the code takes a weekend now. finding the first 100 people who care takes the rest of the year.
plan for that part.
your product isn't selling because:
the page lists features instead of the result
the price is hidden
nobody has seen it more than once
it's usually the third one.
how to find your first paying stranger:
1. search x and reddit for people describing the problem in their own words
2. reply with a useful answer and no link
3. if they respond, offer to send them what you made
4. put the price in that same message
