Every January the same resolution does the rounds: this is the year I stop trading hours for money and look for recurring revenue ideas so I can build something that pays me while I sleep. Then February arrives, the subscription box idea turns out to need a warehouse, the online course needs 40 hours of…

We’ve covered a lot of ground in this run of posts. Knowing who you’re actually talking to before you write anything. Promoting your app consistently across social instead of one account trying to speak to everyone. Catching the website visitors who show up and quietly leave. Testing whether the headline and button copy you settled…

We’ve spent the last few posts here talking about what happens after you build an app with AppBuild. How to promote it on social media without one generic account trying to speak to everyone.

Three hours later, Lovable (or Base44, or Bolt, or whichever vibe-coding tool you fell down a rabbit hole with) had handed you a working app. It looks great. It does the thing. You showed your partner and they…

Somewhere out there, one of your old regulars is standing in their kitchen in a dressing gown, frothing oat milk with a gadget that cost more than their sofa, and telling anyone who will listen that they have “basically opened a café at home now”. They have not opened a café. They have bought a…

Somewhere right now, a web designer is quoting a client for the fourth homepage tweak of the month, wondering why the money always feels like it starts from zero every January. And somewhere else, that same client is asking, “Do you do apps too?” and getting a nervous “not really” in reply. That little exchange…
