keeping it short, i was annoyed at my own AI workflow. same grunt work with prompts multiple times a day so i built a small wrapper around GPT that fixed my specific problem. It was something that stopped me typing the same thing 40 times a day.
friend saw it and said people would pay for this. I didn't believe him but yk still worth a try
spent two weekends cleaning it up enough that a stranger could use it without me explaining everything, put it on Gumroad at $17. man the price just felt righ, no reasoning find it
then needed people to find it, didn't wanted spend so I made short videos explaining what it does. Used Magichour and Kling for video, elevenLabs free credits for voiceover because my actual voice should not be near any professional material and that weird accent lmao. total spend was maybe $8-10
posted across a few subreddits and twitter over three weeks. Didn't get viral for god sake but kept posting consistently
then one morning someone bought it then two more same week, $527 total now. Thirty something sales and i still check Gumroad more than i should for something that's supposed to run itself.
Ik it aint much but i'll be honest though, it took real time to get here. The sales happen without me now but the setup didn't, so don't call it passive.
feeling gooodddd like I shoulddd
