The VAST majority of software products fail. #1 way to prevent that
As a marketer, especially of new apps, I see projects fail constantly. Or if they don't completely fail, they burn up so much more money than they should in the beginning, just trying things out. Recently I saw a site shut down after they got 2 patents and were in business over 2 years. They could not find a buyer either. So much time, energy, emotion, and money, all down the drain! If you have a programming friend who made side projects for friends with "great ideas," just ask the your programmer friend how many of those projects succeeded. It's almost always zero. Yes, there have been tons of products that were built without taking the advice I'm about to give you, but there have been MANY MORE products that failed without having done so. You hear about the rare successes. But you don't hear about the MANY more failures. What is the advice? Do NOT build a new product without talking with a marketer! Even better... talk to a marketer in the niche your product is for. Even better... add a marketer in your niche as a business partner,if you can't afford to pay a lot of consulting fees. Even better... don't think your ideas are the greatest. If you're not going to invest time and money into making NDAs and doing surveys to test your idea, start with a marketers' idea instead of your own. Marketers have their finger on the pulse of the market. They are constantly listening to the market. They are constantly testing things to see what works. And.... they always have software idea they know their audience would like.

Lets get real wins in the next week
In the past few months, AI has enabled me to make some "quick" wins My hope is that anyone in this group can put out some feelers to their network, and lets all work together to fulfil the work, and all at least get REAL proof that you can make money in this space Here are some jobs I've done 1. $3,200 website + logo. I used ChatGpt to make multiple edits to the logo and gave the client speed and he was so impressed that he asked me to make the website for him (Lots of work - 48 hours max in total spent from beginning to the end) 2. Yesterday $750. A guy came in through a barter network I was part of asking for a poster. I told him I am a software developer but I can take a stab at it. I used GPT to create an image and make tons of edits as he requested them. He is about to pay right now (3 hours max spent in total from beginning to the end) 3. A few months ago, a marketing client wanted a custom app built - I quoted her $5,000 and ended up making over $10,000 because she loved the app and wanted more features. I used about $200 max in claude code subscription and deployed the app to my very own coolify server (48 hours max spent in total) 4. I am on a monthly retainer being paid $1,000/month to help a company with any business automations they may need So what can YOU do? Don't spend time learning the tech - find people who need a solution - whether its a logo, website, automation, then ping me and lets chat about pricing and fulfilment From there you have two options 1. Pay for the AI tools once you make money and then spend your time finding and fulfiling the work 2. Keep working with me or another technical person, while you focus on getting the work Who is in to try?

I plan on closing or selling this group soon
I have been focused on other things and not working but afew hours a week due to health. This group is a "stocked pond" or a "plowed field," waiting on an admin to create engagement. This will start bringing in more members, organically, without you even having to promote the group. Message me if interested.

You're Using Claude Code Wrong (And Losing Hours Because of It)
Look, I've been using Claude Code for a few months now and I just realized most people are doing it backwards. Everyone's just throwing vague prompts at it like "build me a login system" and then spending forever going back and forth fixing stuff. There's a better way. Write the damn spec first. I'm serious. Before you even open Claude Code, spend 20 minutes writing out what you actually need. Requirements, edge cases, how the API should work, what errors to handle. Just a markdown file. Nothing fancy. Then (and this is the part nobody talks about) you point Claude Code directly at that spec file. "Implement the auth service in auth-spec.md." That's it. What happens next is honestly kind of wild. It reads the whole thing, sometimes asks you questions if something's unclear, then just builds it. Multiple files, proper error handling, tests that actually make sense. Because it knows exactly what you want. No more asking - actually can you change this fifteen times. No more - I forgot to mention we need to handle OAuth too. The spec is right there. And here's the thing that sold me: your specs don't disappear into some Google Doc graveyard. They live with your code. When you need to refactor three months later, the spec is still there telling you what the hell you were thinking. Try it once. Write a proper spec, save it as a .md file in your project, and tell Claude Code to build from it. You'll get why everyone who does this won't shut up about it.
