08

Patterns behind the winners

  • They sell to businesses or creators who earn money from the result
  • They solve one clear problem: leads, ads, resumes, scheduling
  • Many use AI inside a familiar workflow, not as a novelty
  • Several are open source, which builds trust and spreads word of mouth
  • They charge monthly from the start

Businesses pay for revenue, time saved, and less risk.

10

Lessons for builders

  • Talk to ten potential customers before building
  • Build a small first version fast with AI tools
  • Charge early, even a small amount
  • Grow through content, communities, and founder-led sales
  • Track MRR, churn, and growth every month
  • Respect platform rules if you build on LinkedIn, Shopify, or others
11

Keep perspective

  • These are the top earners out of thousands of listings
  • Most apps take years to reach meaningful revenue
  • Some listings hide their names or are for sale
  • Revenue is not profit: costs and ads can be high

The golden rule

Do not chase a trend. Find a business problem people already pay to solve, and build the simplest tool that solves it better.
