  • 00:00:48
    company all we need to do is create a
  • 00:00:50
    project that pays your rent and your
  • 00:00:51
    random door Dash orders this makes our
  • 00:00:53
    job 10 times easier because now we don't
  • 00:00:55
    have to build some project that will
  • 00:00:57
    solve a problem for Humanity we just
  • 00:00:58
    have to build a project that fuels our
  • 00:01:00
    greed okay this is starting to sound a
  • 00:01:02
    bit unethical maybe we should do
  • 00:01:03
    something oh money now that we've sold
  • 00:01:05
    our soul to capitalism we can use my
  • 00:01:07
    secret business strategies for project
  • 00:01:09
    ideas this looks like a pyramid wait a
  • 00:01:11
    minute strategy number one solve a
  • 00:01:14
    problem so small so stupidly specific
  • 00:01:17
    that nobody else bothers let me give you
  • 00:01:18
    a beautiful example I have a problem and
  • 00:01:21
    I assume other people have the same
  • 00:01:22
    problem I get a lot of emails promotions
  • 00:01:25
    alerts reminders and of course emails
  • 00:01:27
    from people who reply to my newsletter
  • 00:01:29
    sloth bites oh you don't know what sloth
  • 00:01:31
    bites is sloth bites is My Weekly
  • 00:01:33
    Newsletter where I share bite-sized
  • 00:01:35
    programming information every week to
  • 00:01:37
    make you a better programmer and the
  • 00:01:38
    best part about it it's free all you
  • 00:01:40
    have to do is give me your email I won't
  • 00:01:42
    do anything with it I
  • 00:01:43
    promise so yeah my emails get a lot of
  • 00:01:46
    stuff and I'm too lazy to categorize
  • 00:01:47
    them so you can make a project that
  • 00:01:48
    categorizes emails and I bet you could
  • 00:01:50
    charge $5 a month for this get 1,000
  • 00:01:52
    users and Bam $5,000 a month wait this
  • 00:01:55
    already exists ah strategy number two
  • 00:01:56
    solve a problem so big and common that
  • 00:01:59
    it doesn't matter if another one exists
  • 00:02:00
    look maybe the email thing has already
  • 00:02:02
    been done but that doesn't mean it won't
  • 00:02:03
    work think about it calendar apps
  • 00:02:05
    password managers notetaking apps to-do
  • 00:02:07
    apps there's like 500 of them but guess
  • 00:02:09
    what they still make that money your
  • 00:02:11
    idea doesn't have to be good or original
  • 00:02:14
    that's right in fact you can even just
  • 00:02:15
    copy and paste someone else's idea big
  • 00:02:17
    companies are a master of this check
  • 00:02:19
    this out door Dash Uber Eats GrubHub
  • 00:02:21
    wrappy holy there's a lot of food
  • 00:02:23
    delivery strategy number three the X for
  • 00:02:25
    y formula look since we can copy
  • 00:02:27
    businesses we can use this classic
  • 00:02:29
    strategy to make it look like we're
  • 00:02:30
    doing something original the strategy is
  • 00:02:33
    pretty simple the x is the specific
  • 00:02:35
    problem or need that you're trying to
  • 00:02:36
    solve and then the Y is the specific
  • 00:02:38
    group of people or Market that you're
  • 00:02:39
    trying to sell to so imagine something
  • 00:02:41
    like the Discord for businesses Linux
  • 00:02:44
    but for normal people Uber Eats but you
  • 00:02:46
    take people wait that's just Uber look
  • 00:02:48
    it's a simple strategy I obviously don't
  • 00:02:50
    have any good ideas or else I'd be rich
  • 00:02:51
    but you get the point right this
  • 00:02:52
    strategy is really effective if you have
  • 00:02:54
    absolutely no creative strategy number
  • 00:02:56
    four the GPT rapper this is a brand new
  • 00:02:58
    strategy thanks to CH GPT and other AIS
  • 00:03:01
    and the strategy is pretty simple you
  • 00:03:02
    make AI do a specific task yeah it's
  • 00:03:04
    that simple and some people have made
  • 00:03:06
    Millions off this like my homie Blake
  • 00:03:08
    Anderson right here you know what he
  • 00:03:09
    made Riz GPT GPT for dating he made
  • 00:03:11
    Millions off this yeah Millions business
  • 00:03:13
    is such a beautiful thing now even if
  • 00:03:15
    you have an idea thanks to my four
  • 00:03:17
    strategies it doesn't really matter if
  • 00:03:18
    you don't know how to build it so let me
  • 00:03:20
    show you how to start building these
  • 00:03:21
    apps you see most developers have
  • 00:03:22
    problems here they get stuck and it's
  • 00:03:24
    not because they can't build it in fact
  • 00:03:26
    it's the opposite they can build it but
  • 00:03:28
    they want everything to be perfect they
  • 00:03:30
    want to keep adding features they're
  • 00:03:31
    worried about scaling bro you have zero
  • 00:03:34
    users what's the point of scaling
  • 00:03:36
    because while you're worried about clean
  • 00:03:38
    code scalability and best practices
  • 00:03:41
    someone else is launching their Broken
  • 00:03:42
    app getting real users and making money
  • 00:03:44
    with code that looks like it was written
  • 00:03:46
    by a three-year-old but thanks to modern
  • 00:03:48
    tools shipping garbage has never been
  • 00:03:49
    easier but I'll get to that part later
  • 00:03:51
    when you're building your project it
  • 00:03:52
    should follow these three rules SLC
  • 00:03:55
    simple lovable and complete I stole this
  • 00:03:57
    from a video from edman young but I just
  • 00:03:59
    love the advice so much so I'm going to
  • 00:04:00
    steal it here I'm sorry Edmond it's such
  • 00:04:02
    good advice simple means your app
  • 00:04:04
    doesn't have to do everything but it
  • 00:04:05
    should at least deliver at least one to
  • 00:04:07
    two key features lovable means you want
  • 00:04:10
    people to use your app so this just
  • 00:04:11
    means your app should have some good
  • 00:04:12
    uiux so basically make your app look
  • 00:04:15
    good I'll talk more about that later and
  • 00:04:16
    your app should be complete don't make
  • 00:04:18
    your app like the gaming industry where
  • 00:04:19
    it's incomplete and then sell you it
  • 00:04:21
    later make sure it's functional make
  • 00:04:23
    sure the one to two key features you did
  • 00:04:25
    make work once again I'm taking this
  • 00:04:26
    from Edmond so go check out his videos
  • 00:04:29
    later not now you should watch mine
  • 00:04:30
    first now I want to emphasize the L and
  • 00:04:32
    SLC lovable because I don't think enough
  • 00:04:35
    of you understand how important this
  • 00:04:37
    part is especially the programmers
  • 00:04:39
    specifically backin Engineers I'm
  • 00:04:40
    looking at you please make your project
  • 00:04:42
    look good or at least not terrible it's
  • 00:04:44
    bad enough that you're ugly don't make
  • 00:04:46
    your project ugly
  • 00:04:47
    too most of you probably only care about
  • 00:04:50
    the programming part you want to get
  • 00:04:51
    things done even if it looks ugly and I
  • 00:04:53
    respect that but you're trying to sell
  • 00:04:55
    this project to other people here's the
  • 00:04:56
    thing about us humans we're shallow very
  • 00:05:00
    shallow you could have the best code
  • 00:05:01
    ever written revolutionary features but
  • 00:05:04
    if it looks ugly nobody's going to use
  • 00:05:06
    it I mean there's exceptions of course
  • 00:05:08
    like Craigslist and uh Craigslist but
  • 00:05:10
    imagine if Craigslist just looked a
  • 00:05:12
    little better design is really important
  • 00:05:14
    now you could spend Years Learning
  • 00:05:16
    design studying UI patterns taking
  • 00:05:18
    screenshots of every app to learn how to
  • 00:05:20
    make a good-look website or you could
  • 00:05:22
    use this tool to help you out mobin now
  • 00:05:24
    what's mobin mobin's a really useful
  • 00:05:26
    tool for design and I'm so happy a
  • 00:05:27
    platform like this exists you can think
  • 00:05:29
    of like the paparazzi for design because
  • 00:05:31
    they take pictures of everything M don't
  • 00:05:34
    get mad at that and they're also the
  • 00:05:35
    sponsor of today's video I knew it it's
  • 00:05:37
    a platform that lets you look at
  • 00:05:38
    websites and mobile apps to get some
  • 00:05:40
    design inspiration and see how other
  • 00:05:42
    applications do things let me give you
  • 00:05:43
    some quick facts about mobin that will
  • 00:05:45
    blow you away they have over 1,200 apps
  • 00:05:47
    over 500,000 screenshots and over
  • 00:05:49
    880,000 user flows yeah it's a cheat
  • 00:05:51
    code for design it's updated every
  • 00:05:53
    single week and their mission is to
  • 00:05:54
    empower the world to design great
  • 00:05:56
    digital experiences so basically mobin
  • 00:05:58
    wants to make every website and app look
  • 00:06:00
    good you can check out how other
  • 00:06:01
    companies do signups logins their
  • 00:06:03
    homepage dashboards checkouts really
  • 00:06:05
    anything a lot of designers rely on
  • 00:06:07

  • 00:06:09
    best practices because well they have
  • 00:06:10
    everything I mean look how easy this is
  • 00:06:12

    this is how 500 apps did their landing
  • 00:06:15
    page it's quick and easy to find exactly
  • 00:06:17

  • 00:06:26
    projects click the link in the
  • 00:06:27
    description now that we have our design
  • 00:06:29
    CH Cod and I sold my soul a bit let's
  • 00:06:30
    get a bit more Technical and start
  • 00:06:32
    building your application is going to
  • 00:06:33
    need four parts front end the backend
  • 00:06:36
    database and a payment processor and
  • 00:06:38
    when people think of these four steps
  • 00:06:39
    they usually have to think of a teex
  • 00:06:41
    stack ah yes the teex stack a landmine
  • 00:06:44
    full of opinions now when it comes to
  • 00:06:46
    Tech stack specifically to make money
  • 00:06:48
    your Tech stack doesn't really matter
  • 00:06:50
    the only people that care about your
  • 00:06:51
    Tech stack are Tech Bros on Twitter it's
  • 00:06:53
    X now I'm not saying that and they're
  • 00:06:54
    not going to buy your product they're
  • 00:06:55
    going to build it themselves so you
  • 00:06:57
    could honestly use whatever you want
  • 00:06:58
    WordPress scratch JavaScript python you
  • 00:07:00
    can write your app in cobal for all I
  • 00:07:02
    care the only thing that matters is if
  • 00:07:04
    your app works the only recommendations
  • 00:07:06
    I will give you about a Tex stack is use
  • 00:07:08
    something that's popular that has a lot
  • 00:07:09
    of developer support has a large
  • 00:07:11
    community and that you're the most
  • 00:07:12
    comfortable with at the end of the day
  • 00:07:14
    if you can't get any work done what's
  • 00:07:15
    the point now what I like to use
  • 00:07:16
    personally and this is specifically for
  • 00:07:18
    web development I like to use nextjs and
  • 00:07:20
    superbase and I like to style my apps
  • 00:07:22
    with shaten and Tailwind I love shaten
  • 00:07:25
    and then I like to use post hog for
  • 00:07:27
    analytics to track you all and then I
  • 00:07:29
    use stripe for payment processing so I
  • 00:07:30
    can take all your money yeah that's the
  • 00:07:32
    tech stack I like to use right now this
  • 00:07:33
    could change in the future because
  • 00:07:35
    there's a lot of tools and Frameworks
  • 00:07:36
    out there that I haven't used personally
  • 00:07:38
    but this does get the job done it's up
  • 00:07:39
    to you if you want to use it ah remember
  • 00:07:41
    when I said shipping garbage has never
  • 00:07:43
    been easier this is what I meant now ai
  • 00:07:45
    is not perfect and people have mixed
  • 00:07:47
    opinions about it for programming my
  • 00:07:48
    advice would be if the goal of this
  • 00:07:50
    project is to learn I don't recommend
  • 00:07:51
    using it but in our case it's to sell
  • 00:07:53
    out and make money so who cares now
  • 00:07:55
    obviously AI isn't perfect it's not
  • 00:07:56
    going to give you the entire project yet
  • 00:07:58
    but I will say it's very helpful to get
  • 00:08:00
    stuff done fast specifically annoying
  • 00:08:02
    stuff AI is a very helpful tool no
  • 00:08:04
    matter how you look at it now there's
  • 00:08:06
    levels to how you can use AI we got the
  • 00:08:08
    normi level which is just the basic AI
  • 00:08:10
    chats like chat GPT Claud Gemini does
  • 00:08:12
    anyone actually use the Gemini chat and
  • 00:08:14
    then we have the try hard sweat level
  • 00:08:16
    which are using tools that are
  • 00:08:18
    specifically made for coding there's
  • 00:08:19
    tools like bolt v0 and lovable that
  • 00:08:23
    basically build the full stack
  • 00:08:24
    application they obviously can't build
  • 00:08:26
    the entire thing but they do give a good
  • 00:08:27
    starting point I mean check this out
  • 00:08:28
    I'll use both for this you give a
  • 00:08:30
    description of what you want and bolt
  • 00:08:31
    just builds it for you oh my God there's
  • 00:08:34
    also AI code editors like cursor
  • 00:08:36
    windsurf and pair shout out name AI
  • 00:08:38
    inside your code editors might become
  • 00:08:39
    the norm soon at least for
  • 00:08:41
    non-enterprise projects because they're
  • 00:08:42
    really helpful it's great you should
  • 00:08:44
    check out one of these AI code editors
  • 00:08:46
    but uh where was I all right how to make
  • 00:08:47
    projects that make money you now have
  • 00:08:49
    your app idea that will make you
  • 00:08:50
    Millions all you have to do now is build
  • 00:08:52
    it let me give you the ultimate workflow
  • 00:08:54
    so you can finish that app in a week
  • 00:08:57
    step one get a description and Outlook
  • 00:08:59
    line of the project go to chat gbt
  • 00:09:01
    describe the project you want to make
  • 00:09:03
    and tell chat gbt to create a detailed
  • 00:09:05
    and structured explanation of the app
  • 00:09:07
    because you don't even know what you're
  • 00:09:08
    building yourself yet step two use an AI
  • 00:09:10
    tool like v0 bolt or lovable and copy
  • 00:09:13
    and paste that detailed explanation to
  • 00:09:16
    one of those tools it'll start building
  • 00:09:17
    it for you and give you a good starting
  • 00:09:19
    point step three fix the UI these tools
  • 00:09:22
    are most likely going to generate
  • 00:09:23
    terrible UI so what you can do now is go
  • 00:09:26
    on to mobin and look at any designs that
  • 00:09:28
    you think look good copy The images from
  • 00:09:29
    mobin and paste them into the tool that
  • 00:09:31
    you use to build the app and tell it to
  • 00:09:33
    make it look like that step four start
  • 00:09:35
    programming it yourself even though you
  • 00:09:37
    have a starting point these tools are
  • 00:09:38
    not going to build the whole thing for
  • 00:09:40
    you you actually have to use your brain
  • 00:09:42
    and code it yourself so yoink the code
  • 00:09:44
    that it gave you and start coding and
  • 00:09:46
    there you go my friend you now have a
  • 00:09:47
    starting point to making your next
  • 00:09:49
    million application now that you
  • 00:09:51
    finished the project all you have to do
  • 00:09:53
    now is wait and the users will start
  • 00:09:56
    coming where's the user marketing now
  • 00:09:59
    even though you finish building your
  • 00:10:00
    project you'd think people would just
  • 00:10:01
    visit it normally well you're wrong even
  • 00:10:04
    once you finish building your project
  • 00:10:05
    and you publish it to the internet
  • 00:10:07
    literally nothing happens absolutely
  • 00:10:08
    nothing nobody knows it exists nobody's
  • 00:10:10
    going to use it your mom's not going to
  • 00:10:12
    use it your dad's not going to use it
  • 00:10:13
    your uncle's not going to use it your
  • 00:10:14
    Grandma's not going to use it your
  • 00:10:15
    project goes straight to the void of the
  • 00:10:17
    internet which is why we need marketing
  • 00:10:18
    all you need to do is be slightly
  • 00:10:20
    annoying kind of everywhere and a little
  • 00:10:22
    bit cringe and there's already a place
  • 00:10:24
    that does exactly that social media woo
  • 00:10:27
    Reddit free users Twitter free marketing
  • 00:10:30
    LinkedIn free customers you have to
  • 00:10:32
    start thinking like a business person
  • 00:10:34
    you got to stop thinking about people as
  • 00:10:36
    people you have to start looking at them
  • 00:10:37
    as numbers and money go on LinkedIn and
  • 00:10:40
    post about your entrepreneurship journey
  • 00:10:42
    and link your project and people are
  • 00:10:43
    going to eat that stuff up it's that
  • 00:10:45
    simple nowadays go on Tik Tok post some
  • 00:10:47
    cringe Tik toks about your product and
  • 00:10:49
    people are bound to see it Go on YouTube
  • 00:10:51
    post some terrible videos about your
  • 00:10:53
    product people are bound to see it even
  • 00:10:55
    if your video gets a little views you
  • 00:10:56
    could just buy ads and people will have
  • 00:10:58
    to see it cuz you paid for it so keep
  • 00:11:00
    posting about your project keep being
  • 00:11:02
    annoying and people will eventually try
  • 00:11:04

    to your project get your project to the
  • 00:11:11
    top of Google searches you already know

    to see it and if your product actually
  • 00:11:16
    is good it'll get popular and people
  • 00:11:19
    will actually buy it and you'll finally
