Vibe code your way to $
Grab a coffee and let's talk SaaS together.
Hey, hey - it’s Mike! 😁
Grab a coffee, today we’re “vibe coding”
#1 I talked to a 17-year-old who’s “vibe coding” AI apps while being in class
The first episode of my new podcast is a big one! I interviewed Rexan Wong, a 17-year-old student who built 2 viral apps and is making $3,000/month with his AI apps while attending class.
#2 Don’t go for “Vibe Revenue”
Too many businesses are building cool stuff, especially with AI and working with “vibe revenue,” which completely gets them sidetracked. Let me explain by giving a good example. Remember “Clubhouse”? That’s one of those apps with “vibe revenue”. High initial conversion through customer FOMO > raising a bunch of capital because of it > not really solving a real problem > kinda dead.
Greg did an awesome job of explaining this:

#3 The biggest AI opportunity now
Pick any industry that hasn't been transformed by AI or automation yet. Build the simplest possible interface for one specific workflow or pain. I see this dude building chatbots for these kinds of industries and making real dough.
Don’t overthink.
# My Bookmarks this week:
App I discovered: I’ve been using this app to get new leads (and no, it’s not an email app). Never had 50% conversion rates with email…
Podcast: So yeah, the first episode is out. Next week, I’ll launch the second one that I already recorded with the CEO of Baremetrics (ex-military). Man, what a banger!
Talk soon.
Keep sipping that MRR!
Mike 🙌
