Transcript

Claude Code finally paid me. So for the past month, I've been trying to build something with Claude Code that can make me some money. Because up until now, it's mostly been just costing me, I've been paying for. Claude Max account, extra anthropic tokens, and AI tools and subscriptions. And every time I tell my fiance, Therese, about some new thing she's always like, "Cool, but did it make any money?" And the answer has pretty much been no up until this point. So we had this running joke that I wasn't allowed to upgrade to the $200 a month Claude Max plan until Claude Code paid for it. So I told my Claude Code, "You better get this shit done." So I made an offer inside of our community and I said, I'd build an entire custom Elementor website for $500. And four people said yes. So that's $2,000. The awesome part is that I built these entire websites with Claude Code, and I'm a developer. I've built about 50 websites in my day. So now I'm thinking, okay, maybe there's something to this thing. Maybe this is the first real offer that Claude Code, because I already know websites. Our clients need websites. Lots of people need websites. And now, AI helps me build them way faster and way better than I ever could before. I'm just stoked because either way though, I've made some money from this new side hustle of using Claude Code, and now I'm upgraded to the Claude Max account.
