Experiment: Let's see if 80% marketing, and 20% coding will work in a competitive niche

I wanted to try Flux a few days ago, so I googled "flux ai image generation".

I went through the search results, and none of the websites looked professional or trustworthy. In the end, I used Replicate. There I could train my own LoRA, UI looks good, etc.

Currently, I think Replicate is the best platform to run Flux models, but it isn't for anyone. So I thought what if I build "Replicate wrapper" that gives full control for the user (choosing models, training custom LoRAs, etc.) while being B2C customer-friendly?

So that's exactly what I'm building, a micro SaaS which is just a simple (but good-looking) Replicate wrapper.

I'm a week or so late to the Flux hype, and the competition will be hard, but I'm taking this as an experiment. Am I good enough of a marketer to make some money from this project? My ego says yes, but it might be too optimistic. But let's see.

My main marketing channel will be SEO, that's why I'm writing this post here, to get a back-link hehe.

Then later I plan to do short-form videos for TikTok, Youtube, and Instagram, maybe I will pay for micro-influencers to do it, will see.

I made a waitlist landing page over the weekend, you can check it out here: https://www.fluxifyai.com

Today I'm just listing this LP in as many directories as I can to get in the back-links.

Anyway, have a nice day!

I will post an update in a few days if anything happens.
