In this video I break down the exact framework I use to code profitable apps solo—from idea to building, marketing, and actually getting paid. I’ve coded seven apps, and this was my first year hitting over $1,000 MRR, and the big takeaway is that you don’t need some groundbreaking idea. The smaller and more niche the problem, the better. I show you how I look for those “annoying little problems” in my own life, and how Reddit, Twitter, and Discord communities are basically gold mines for spotting pain points you can solve with a simple tool. Then I walk through how I build: keep it simple and focus on the core feature first, because overbuilding is one of the biggest mistakes I see. I don’t stress too much about tech stack either—I learn as I go using resources like docs, Stack Overflow, and ChatGPT. After you’ve got a working version, I talk about putting it out fast with a basic landing page, collecting feedback, and pivoting if needed. For pricing, I’ve found one-time payments often convert better than subscriptions for smaller indie projects. Finally, I cover free marketing (Reddit, Product Hunt, niche communities), how to post without spamming, and how I iterate based on repeated user feedback.
