Turning your Claude code project into something that prints you money

Turning your Claude code project into something that prints you money. I vibe coded something from scratch and launched it in February and has gone from $0 to $6,000 of payments transacted. And I'm going to tell you the three steps you need to follow in my footsteps. So, I know one of my videos blew up and it's really great to see so many people building their projects in Claude. I think the biggest gap is how do I go from this thing I built for myself into one, um, spinning it out into something that other people can use, two, allowing other people to purchase that, and then three, once I figure out that part, how do I do the sale so more and more people can buy it. In this video, I'm going to cover the technical aspects. So it's, hey, I have this project that's working for me and just for me, how do I, you know, code it so that other people can use it as well. There's four words you need to know: GitHub, Supabase, Vercel, and Stripe. So right now your stuff is on a local repository, which means it's just on your computer and no one else can access your website or app. You need to use GitHub, and GitHub clones the stuff on your local stuff and puts it on the internet, so now all these other tools like Vercel can use it and connect with it. Just tell Claude, hey, I want to push this onto a GitHub repo, and it will tell you how to do it. The second tool is Supabase. So at a high level, you have this thing that works for you, let's just say a trading, uh, stock trading app. It works for you, you got all your favorite stocks on there, it's connected to your portfolio and everything. So if you look at a, you've used spreadsheets before, right? Think about a spreadsheet, you might be like one row in the spreadsheet. Now, if you have other users, you have to have multiple rows for every user. And so use this thing called a database, and Supabase is just an easy way to connect your product into a database so you can have multiple users. Just ask Claude to connect you to Supabase and it will give you instructions. And third is Vercel. So you have this thing running locally, now you've pushed it onto GitHub, great, you have your database as well, so now you can add users. Now how do I put this onto the internet? So Vercel will basically clone your GitHub repo and and show it on the internet. It's very easy and it happens in like five seconds. And great, now it's on the internet. Um, how do I give it a URL? So you, it's domain name, you just go to GoDaddy for example or namecheap.com, you buy that domain, that's the only thing you have to purchase in this whole workflow. And then you can, the original website will be like versellapp.com, it will, you can add your domain, so now you can say like lucystockapp.com. Awesome, so now you have your stock trading app, you can have users use it, um, it's on the internet and people can look at it. So now the last thing is how do I make sure people can pay for this? How do I monetize it? Everyone uses this thing called Stripe. I, um, it's free too, but they take a cut of payments, so I think it's about like 30 cents plus like 1.3% of any payment transacted. I use Stripe. Um, for Stripe, you can set up a subscription service where people can pay monthly for your thing, pay yearly for your thing. What I have set up on my platform is a take rate. So, um, any payment that comes in, it splits into like 10% for me and then 90% of the people who are on my platform. For Stripe, you need to go on stripe.com, set up your account, put in your address, all your information, and then it will give you, um, these API keys. Oh, also for all these tools, they'll give you these things called API keys, and that's just how you connect your local folders and everything to all these tools. And you have to make sure that no one, that these are not going to the GitHub repo and that no one can access them, because if they access them, they can go mess up your website or like steal payments from you. So they should be stored on your local folder in this folder called .env, and you can ask Claude to say, make sure I have all my keys stored in a .env file. That's it. So follow this and your thing that's stuck on localhost 3000 is going to be something that people can access and purchase. Now I'm going to make the other two videos. One is about how to make a product people actually need, or if you've already made a product, how to find people who are willing to buy it, because that's what I did. I made a product first, and then I went to look for people who were going to buy it and I had to change it a little bit for that. So you can go on that route, but it's a little harder. And then the last video I'm going to make is about, okay, you figured out your ideal client profile, you figured out like who's going to buy things, now how do I just like keep replicating that playbook so you get the sales? That's something I'm not going to lie, I'm still stuck in and I'm still trying to figure out, but I figured out a few things. So just keep following, keep watching my videos, and comment if you have any questions.
