My app makes me $7,300/month after 7 months!

Developing the basic version of the product took about 30 days.

I did it together with my brother and we also did marketing for it together.

We constantly work to improve it and the growth has been crazy for us the last few months.

The idea started as just giving AI memory to make it easier for ourselves to build our products (didn't exist in LLMs when we started). Then we continued to improve upon it and add new features like searching through Reddit discussions to validate ideas, following specific phases from ideation to building and marketing, and adding tools to make the whole process more actionable.

All we did to market it in the beginning was talk about our journey building it in the Build in Public community on X (great way to get attention early on btw), and a few Reddit posts.

We also launched on Product Hunt which got us our first paying customers.

54 days after launch we hit $1,000 MRR

98 days after we hit $2,000 MRR

And today we’re at $7,300/month.

The goal for this year is to hit $10k/month. We set that goal at the start of the year and it looks like we'll overshoot it by a lot.

In the last few weeks we've started experimenting with paid advertising, and if we get it to work I think we can achieve the goal.

So, my advice to you if you're looking for a winning business idea:

Start by looking at problems you experience yourself.
Talk to your target customers (solving your own problems means your target customers are people similar to you) to make sure the problem is real and that there's interest for your solution.
Create a simple solution to begin with, and then use feedback to turn it into something great.

Something that has contributed to our growth is that so many people are getting into the entrepreneurial game at the moment. The best part of our journey for me is getting on user interviews and hearing how our product genuinely helps people and gives them the guidance they have been looking for to build their business.

The app is Buildpad.io if you want to check it out.

I’ll continue sharing more on our journey to $10k/month and beyond if you guys are interested!
