And I've only just begun! Sure, they'll create new accounts but their current posts are useless and it wastes enough time to stop them scamming at least one person, so I'm happy to continue. If you see an obvious not, I recommend you expose them to warn others.
I've worked a variety of careers but my main two are marketing and software development. I currently run my own business and make a comfortable living for my family.
I'm not looking to make any money from this, I just enjoy helping app developers grow from nothing, to something. And I've noticed that a lot of great apps are built brilliantly, with time, passion and effort but then they insta fail as soon as it comes to marketing. That's where my strong suit lies, tying together app development and app marketing. It's rare to have both skillsetd but I got lucky I suppose.
Drop your app below (that's not been released yet) and I will decote the coming week to getting you real users, who actually engage with your app.
If you'd prefer to get started sooner then drop me a DM but all apps will be looked at.
Again, no money. You'd be silly to pay an internet stranger, but I genuinely want to help, and am also a little curious on what kind of apps ideas you all have because I've seen some really novel apps and it's such a shame seeing the real struggle - marketing - get the coders give up on what could make lots of money.
Can't wait to see some off y'all apps ;)
It's unbearable now. This doesn't apply to all of you. But those who write those cringe, grifty posts about the perfect prompt, perfect AI tool, perfect vibecoded app that's going to make you rich, just stop.
And for those falling for the grift, AI isn't going to make you rich. An app ain't going to make you anywhere close to if you got a regular paying job. The bubble burst years ago.
Go to any subreddit. Have a scroll through. If the posts haven't been banned yet, check out the obvious desperate posts. "Hey guys, just curious, what the biggest pain point in your business?"
Then read the comments. I just saw a comment on a construction sub. It simply said.."Fuck off."
Those of you who think you can make money off of vibecoding, I'm sorry, but you missed the boat. And even then, it was a really small window of opportunity. I cannot bear to see the posts anymore and the gullibility of some people lapping it up.
If you wanna vibecode then see it as a hobby, a skill to learn. Something fun.
But I hate to see people throwing away their careers and/or sense, to devote time to an app they've been deluded into thinking is going to be the next best thing on Play, or the App Store. "Because that's a rare idea you have there". And then hitting the cold reality of the completely separate, competitive, and frankly underhanded and manipulative world of marketing that even people who studied marketing struggle with. AI can't teach you that either.
AI is not a panacea. The app market, website market, dev market is over saturated with people with these dreams. The big players hold the market. Or the Asian workers doing it for peanuts . And they've been doing it for a heck of a lot longer.
I'm sure most of you are intelligent enough to see a grift. But for those who've just stumbled upon this, you are too late to the game. Way too late. The only way to make significant amounts of money from AI are the ones who make the AI, and the grifters telling you how to make money from AI. It's the modern pyramid scheme, or Nigerian scam. Don't fall for it. Question things.
I have nothing to sell. I fell for it too. The worst thing we did was ask ChatGPT out very first question.."How can I make money online?". And then it lied to our faces.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, or whatever.
