Got two websites but the second one is basically a clone of the first with better visuals and better tech stack that I actually want to work on

https://aieasypic.com - 3k per month (declining cause not working on it a lot, just maintenance) https://bestphoto.ai - 2k per month (increasing cause of better SEO)

Now trying my hand at an actual non-consumer product, not that b2b but something to make making ads easy because that’s where I find myself getting stuck on when doing fb ads or TikTok organic stuff : https://admakeai.com

https://www.repth.com , an AI cycling coach that I vibe-coded back when gpt-3.5 was hot and vibe coding wasn't yet a thing. We've come a long way! Free for athletes, but I license the underlying "coach" logic to actual, human coaches.

Congrats. This sounds like a great way to build a "wrapper" product. Gather clean data on a particular niche and keep it in one place. Have something that's good at processing that data. No matter what "startup killers" the big boys release, it's still resilient and valuable.

My wife's Etsy shop ( https://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleLanternShop ) is starting to pick up. She is leaning into creating digital sewing patterns for decorative felt crafts. We have had Etsy success before with 3d printed products, but managing printers and fulfilling orders can be stressful and time consuming, and she was hoping to build up a more passive income stream. She made over $1000 in the past month, which be…

Nice one! I love the Our Lady of Lourdes patterns.

Thank you for building this! I've been using the app for almost a year after I switched to the Boring But Big routine.
