I met this guy Nico who literally locked himself in a hotel room for 2 months, taught himself to code, and walked out building apps. In one year he shipped 17 of them. Most flopped. But two of them makelogo.ai and Stalknot he sold for a combined $265,000. makelogo.ai was an AI logo generator. One-time payment, packs of 5/10/15 logos. Did $26K in sales, then sold for $65K cash after a buyer told him "I don't want to waste time bidding, finalize in 2 weeks." Stalknot turned voice notes into formatted text. ~10,000 users, started at a one-time pass, switched to $12/month. Did $77K in sales before he sold it for $200K last July. The wild part: he grew Stalknot from $0 to $7K MRR on Facebook ads spending just $20–$100/day. His best ad? A guy he paid to record himself reading a script in his office. Didn't even mention the app name until the end. His advice to past-Nico in that hotel room: "don't try to make $100K on your first project" Make your first dollar. Compound small wins.
