00:00:00
I just discovered an online app that is
00:00:02
making
00:00:03
$26,000 per month. And the person that
00:00:06
built it has no coding experience and
00:00:09
used an AI app builder to create it.
00:00:11
Today, I'm going to reveal what this app
00:00:13
is that's making $26,000 per month and
00:00:17
how he built it even though he's not a
00:00:19
programmer. However, as I did my
00:00:21
research, I got so fascinated with this
00:00:23
idea of AI assisted programming that I
00:00:26
decided to build my own tool. I'm going
00:00:28
to build this tool right in front of you
00:00:30
and I truly have no coding experience.
00:00:33
The tools are available to make your
00:00:35
ideas into reality. In this video, I'm
00:00:38
going to give you the inspiration,
00:00:40
examples, and the tools that you need to
00:00:43
get
00:00:44
started. So, what web app built by a
00:00:48
non-programmer using AI coding tools
00:00:50
could possibly be making
00:00:53
$26,000 per month? Let me introduce you
00:00:56
to
00:00:57
formulabot.com. Formulabot was created
00:00:59
by David Breastler because he was
00:01:01
constantly being asked by his co-workers
00:01:04
how to do different tasks in formulas in
00:01:06
Microsoft Excel. David is an expert in
00:01:09
Excel, but he's not a programmer. He
00:01:11
figured that if he could build an add-on
00:01:13
tool to Excel that was as easy to talk
00:01:15
to as a chatbot and would help you
00:01:18
create complex formulas and do data
00:01:20
analysis for you on your spreadsheets,
00:01:23
then he might not beounded so much for
00:01:26
questions at work. He also had a hunch
00:01:28
that others might be willing to pay for
00:01:30
it. So, David worked his full-time job
00:01:33
and then in the evenings he'd go to work
00:01:35
trying to build Formulabot. Since David
00:01:38
is not a programmer, he ended up using
00:01:40
bubble.io, which is an AI powered noode
00:01:43
platform. Now, David could simply use
00:01:46
Bubble to explain what he was trying to
00:01:48
do in Excel and what he was trying to
00:01:50
build, and Bubble would help him turn
00:01:52
that idea into reality. Obviously, he
00:01:55
needed to do lots of tweaking and lots
00:01:57
of prompting to get his app right, but
00:01:59
he was able to build an MVP with no
00:02:02
coding experience. If you're enjoying
00:02:04
today's video, can I ask a quick favor?
00:02:06
Will you please hit the subscribe button
00:02:08
for me? You see, I have a goal to hit
00:02:10
100,000 subscribers on YouTube, and I'm
00:02:13
getting really close. If you could take
00:02:15
a split second and click the subscribe
00:02:18
button, I would be very grateful. Thank
00:02:20
you so much. So, what exactly does
00:02:23
Formula Bot do today? Well, it's a
00:02:26
chatbot that lives directly in your
00:02:28
Excel spreadsheet. If you aren't sure
00:02:30
how to create a formula, you just type
00:02:32
and ask Formula for help. Formula Bot
00:02:35
will then create the formula for you and
00:02:38
make your spreadsheet work how you want
00:02:39
it to. In addition, Formula Bot will do
00:02:41
data analysis on your spreadsheet and
00:02:43
provide insights into trends, data, and
00:02:45
more. And the pricing plans range
00:02:47
anywhere from 0 to $35 per month. In a
00:02:50
recent interview, David revealed that
00:02:52
his business is now making around
00:02:55
$26,000 per month. His story is such an
00:02:58
inspiration for what is possible when
00:03:00
you have a good idea and execute on that
00:03:02
idea, even if you don't have any
00:03:04
programming experience. Now, the reality
00:03:07
is that you can't build a tool and
00:03:09
expect it to start making over $20,000
00:03:12
per month without doing any marketing.
00:03:14
David put in a ton of effort into
00:03:17
marketing to make his app a success.
00:03:19
Later in this video, I'm going to share
00:03:20
what marketing David did to make his app
00:03:23
a success. But first, I'm going to build
00:03:25
my own app using a noode tool right in
00:03:29
front of you. You see, I've heard tons
00:03:31
of stories of how easy it is to build a
00:03:34
fully working app using AI, but I've
00:03:36
never really built anything like that
00:03:38
using these tools. So, I want to
00:03:40
experiment with how easy or difficult it
00:03:42
really is. There are tools like
00:03:44
bubble.io, lovable.dev, cursor.ai, or
00:03:48
even just chatg that can help. However,
00:03:51
I'm going to use a new tool called
00:03:53
Hostinger Horizons. Hostinger is the
00:03:56
sponsor of today's video, and so I
00:03:58
thought I'd dive in and see how quickly
00:04:00
I could build a fully functioning web
00:04:02
app. So, what idea should I build? Well,
00:04:05
I want to build something that is
00:04:06
relevant to my Niche Pursuits audience.
00:04:08
And one of the number one problems that
00:04:10
followers of Niche Pursuits have is that
00:04:12
they are looking for side hustle ideas,
00:04:14
online business ideas, and in general
00:04:17
trying to find their niche pursuit.
00:04:21
So, what if I built a simple web app
00:04:23
that helped users brainstorm unique
00:04:25
online business ideas that match their
00:04:28
passions and interests? So, here's my
00:04:30
vision. I envision a landing page that
00:04:32
people come to that has a simple
00:04:34
question of, "What are you passionate
00:04:36
about?" and a simple text box that
00:04:38
allows them to enter a subject. The web
00:04:41
app will then spit out a list of ideas
00:04:43
based on their passions or interests.
00:04:45
So, let's see what we can build using
00:04:48
hosting or horizons. Now, I truly have
00:04:51
never used this tool before, and I'm
00:04:52
creating this video live without testing
00:04:54
anything first. I'm just typing in the
00:04:57
first prompt that comes to my mind, and
00:04:59
I'm going to show you the edits I make
00:05:01
and the final product. Here's my prompt.
00:05:03
I want to build a simple one-page web
00:05:06
app that helps people brainstorm unique
00:05:07
side hustle ideas. Here's what I
00:05:09
envision. One, the big headline at the
00:05:12
top says, "What are you passionate
00:05:14
about?" Two, just below the headline is
00:05:16
a text box where the user expected to
00:05:18
input a word or phrase related to what
00:05:21
they are passionate about. Three, the
00:05:23
web app then displays 10 side hustle
00:05:26
ideas, including several online side
00:05:28
hustle ideas related to that passion.
00:05:31
Four, below the 10 results is a button
00:05:33
that says, "Show 10 more." Each time the
00:05:36
user clicks this button, 10 more side
00:05:39
hustle ideas related to the subject they
00:05:41
entered initially. Make sure there are
00:05:43
no duplicate ideas. Five, make the
00:05:46
design and feel of the web app more
00:05:49
high-tech. Go ahead and build the tool.
00:05:52
Check this out. It's building the tool
00:05:55
right in front of me. Wow. Are you
00:05:58
kidding me? That's like exactly what I
00:06:01
kind of envisioned. And
00:06:05
it done. This is nuts. To say that I'm
00:06:09
blown away at how well it took my ideas
00:06:12
and implemented them would be an
00:06:14
understatement. The design and the
00:06:16
implementation with the search bar and
00:06:18
list of ideas is exactly what I was
00:06:20
looking for. However, when I told the
00:06:22
web app that I was passionate about
00:06:24
honeycombs, it suggested generic and a
00:06:26
little unrealistic things like, "Start a
00:06:29
honeycomb cereal subscription box
00:06:31
service, create honeycomb cereal related
00:06:34
merchandise, start a honeycomb cereal
00:06:36
membership site, create honeycomb cereal
00:06:38
NFTt, start honeycomb serial." I don't
00:06:41
know if these are really good, but it's
00:06:43
funny. Honeycomb serial
00:06:46
ebook. So, let's chat and try to fix
00:06:49
that. I can see that there's lots of
00:06:50
ideas that are somewhat generic. For
00:06:52
example, when I input pickle ball, one
00:06:54
idea is to create a pickleball YouTube
00:06:57
channel. Or when I input bananas, one
00:06:59
idea is the exact same to create a
00:07:02
banana YouTube channel. Can you try to
00:07:03
make the ideas more specific to the
00:07:05
subject or be more unique? In addition,
00:07:08
be sure to include a few offline ideas
00:07:10
as well, ideas that aren't run on the
00:07:12
internet. The results should be a mix.
00:07:14
With this resulting tweak, I can see
00:07:16
that this has indeed improved some of
00:07:19
the suggestions a bit as it's starting
00:07:21
to include a broader variety of ideas.
00:07:23
When I input CrossFit, it actually comes
00:07:26
up with a few good ideas like develop a
00:07:28
CrossFit team building program for
00:07:30
corporations. But let's add a few more
00:07:33
details. Here's what I asked. I would
00:07:35
like the ability to click on each of the
00:07:37
results and have it expand into more
00:07:39
details. Once someone clicks on the
00:07:41
idea, it should expand and explain
00:07:43
briefly one what the idea is, two a few
00:07:47
steps required to start and market the
00:07:49
idea and three what the realistic
00:07:51
potential revenue is of the business. As
00:07:54
you can see, it took these suggestions
00:07:56
in stride and immediately made the
00:07:58
results expandable and included more
00:07:59
details on each of the business ideas.
00:08:02
Pretty cool how quickly it is taking my
00:08:04
suggestions and implementing them. I
00:08:07
then went back and forth with the web
00:08:08
app builder as I tweaked the headlines,
00:08:10
added an idea counter, and a few other
00:08:13
minor tweaks. I actually really like the
00:08:15
idea of an idea counter, but it would
00:08:17
have required me to sync up a database
00:08:20
to make it work properly. And honestly,
00:08:22
getting the database may have only taken
00:08:24
me 30 minutes. So, it's very possible
00:08:26
that when you go and try my app after
00:08:28
watching this video, the idea counter
00:08:30
may be working. However, as of the
00:08:32
recording of this video, here's what it
00:08:34
looks like. You can go to
00:08:37
nichpursuits.com to check it out. All
00:08:39
right, let's try a couple of ideas.
00:08:41
First, let's try
00:08:43
cooking. And as you can see, it
00:08:45
immediately spits out, create custom
00:08:47
dining travel experiences. Kind of cool.
00:08:49
Create a community event series around
00:08:51
kitchen. Develop personalized kitchen
00:08:53
coaching programs. Develop personalized
00:08:56
dining coaching programs. Create custom
00:08:58
kitchen travel experiences. All right,
00:09:00
some of these are mixed. Let's go ahead
00:09:02
and input another one. Let's try pickle
00:09:04
ball. All right. Create a premium
00:09:06
pickleball marketplace for enthusiasts.
00:09:08
A create a community event series around
00:09:11
pickle ball. That's actually pretty
00:09:12
cool. And if you um click on any of
00:09:15
these, it will expand, give you a
00:09:17
description. It'll give you steps to
00:09:18
start the idea. It'll even give you some
00:09:20
marketing ideas like create an
00:09:22
introductory offer for firsttime
00:09:24
clients, build partnerships with
00:09:26
complimentary businesses, etc. And it
00:09:28
gives some revenue potential, right?
00:09:31
launch a premium pickle ball product
00:09:32
line. So, it does give you some unique
00:09:35
ideas and uh sometimes you can see that
00:09:40
uh it does give me the show 10 more and
00:09:42
other times it does not. So, I might
00:09:45
have to tweak that. But, um overall,
00:09:48
pretty cool how quickly I was able to
00:09:51
build this app. Now, of course, this
00:09:54
does still need some work. I can make
00:09:56
some tweaks. And if I really wanted to
00:09:58
make this idea even better, uh, I can
00:10:01
hook this up to OpenAI. And I think this
00:10:03
would be really, really solid with the
00:10:06
ideas. And hooking up OpenAI API key and
00:10:09
using Hosting or Horizons would probably
00:10:12
only take me less than an hour to set
00:10:14
up. In total, I've spent about 45
00:10:16
minutes from start to finish building
00:10:18
what you see right now. My mind is
00:10:20
seriously blown with how easy it is to
00:10:23
get a web app up and running using AI
00:10:26
and no code tools nowadays. If you want
00:10:29
to check out Hostinger Horizons to build
00:10:31
your own web application, just go to

00:11:10
Hostinger Horizons for sponsoring
00:11:12
today's video. Now, let's talk about
00:11:14
marketing. As David showed with Formula
00:11:17
Bot at the beginning of this video and
00:11:19
how I just demonstrated with my quick
00:11:22
business ideas app, you can quickly
00:11:24
build a web app with no code tools.
00:11:26
However, in order to get customers, you
00:11:28
need to do some basic marketing. What
00:11:30
did David do to go from 0 to $26,000 per
00:11:34
month? First, he told all of his
00:11:36
co-workers and the people he knew
00:11:38
personally that might benefit from using
00:11:40
Excel easier. They loved his product and
00:11:43
starting using it. Then he found the
00:11:45
Excel community on Reddit and shared
00:11:47
what he built. Within a week, his post
00:11:49
blew up and tons of people shared his
00:11:52
idea. So, you need to go where your
00:11:54
community congregates and tell as many
00:11:56
people as possible. Then he posted in
00:11:59
the internet is beautiful subreddit and
00:12:01
that really put his app on the map. Then
00:12:04
he started running Google ads and doing
00:12:06
SEO and started getting even more
00:12:08
customers. He has continued to hustle
00:12:10
and find other ways to talk about his
00:12:12
product wherever he can on podcasts,
00:12:14
YouTube channels, social media, and
00:12:16
more. So, just because you can build an
00:12:19
app easily that is awesome, you need to
00:12:21
actively market it and find your target
00:12:23
audience. Want to see how free tools can
00:12:25
also make big money, you don't
00:12:27
necessarily need to charge money in
00:12:29
order to make money from your creations.
00:12:32
I recently created a video that dives
00:12:34
into how a free tool website is making
00:12:37
over
00:12:38
$400,000 per month. Go ahead and check
00:12:41
out that video right here. Thanks again
00:12:44
for watching.
