How to make Money with Lovable
Monetize your AI Coding skills.
Everyone online talks how you can make the next billion dollar saas with lovable or any other ai coding tool and then proceed to show you how to make a to do list or a kanban board.
It's true there's a few people who managed to build and monetize a successful saas with these tools, but they're the exception. Everyone else is just posting on x or YouTube about what you “COULD” do with it, and not actually doing it.
That’s why I want to show you a few real world ways to actually make money with this stuff.
#1 Start an MVP Agency
You can make an agency helping people start their own startups.
Inspiration:
Why does this work?
Everyone has some saas idea they think will be the next big thing. Help them make it. Even if it's so easy now and AI can do 99% of the work, most non technical founders still don’t want to bother with it.
And a normal developer will cost them 20-40 grand to create an mvp, you can do in for 1-5K and jut 2 weeks. Its an obvious choice to hire you.
And the bonus is that by building these projects you can practice making apps and get paid to do it.
Where to get clients for your MVP Agency:
Anyone can tell you to start a MVP agency, go build a website, some socials, spend 2 months choosing your domain and pretend to get work done.
Don’t do this.
Your goal should be to get your first client ASAP.
I’ve included the top ways you can get clients for this right now that works even if you are a nobody in the middle of nowhere and don't know anyone.
1)
Job marketplaces like upwork are getting jobs listed from ready to buy clients who need an MVP built right now literally every 10 minutes.
How to win jobs:
99% of platforms like Upwork is filled with Indians and spammers just mass applying to jobs.
To win a job 80% of the time you have to 1. apply as quickly as possible and 2. In your application record a loom video talking to the client. Read out his job description, say how you would go about building it, how long it would take, you can even build an even more basic mvp or just a mermaid graph of how their project would look like.
This will make you instantly stand out and an obvious choice compared to the ai spammed applications the client got from everyone else.
With just 1 client you could be making 5k per month by next week if you can negotiate and sell yourself and your services well enough.
2) Fiverr
Fiverr is currently actively promoting all AI Gigs so its the perfect time to start making gigs about building MVP’s, prototypes and saas.
This would be harder and much slower than getting clients yourself but its good to just setup your profile and gigs and let them sit whilst you work on something else and hopefully a client finds your gig and orders by themselves.
3) Posting on X
Start posting on X about all the different things you’re building with AI to build up your reputation and then start offering MVP building services to other users.
You can start tracking keywords about people who are searching for developers so you can quickly find and dm them your offer.
4) Paid Ads
Paid advertising is very rarely talked about in the whole saas/indiehacker/developer bubble. I don’t know why that is but ads are single handedly the best and fastest way to validate any sort of idea. Just throw up a landing page with a quiz, book a call or if you're baller just straight to checkout.
Create ads that talk to your icp and spend 50-100 bucks on it and see what sort of response you get in less than 24 hours.
The same amount of work in manual posting and reaching out to people will take you literally weeks to do.
If you’ve never launched paid ads for your saas then book a call with me I'd love to consult help you out with it.

#2 Create Your Own Micro SaaS
Inspiration
How to build it:
There is unlimited free tutorials on how to create your own micro saas on YouTube and you have AI in your back pocket. Literally just ask it “how would I build xyz, give me a project outline for xyz, give me the ideal prompts to create xyz etc..”
You have zero excuses to not have your next saas idea launched by tomorrow.
How to come up with SaaS ideas:
You really don’t want to overcomplicate this, just find something good enough and start building it. With AI you can finish a basic mvp for your product in less than a day and bring it to market to start asking users for feedback.
How to make money with your Micro SaaS:
A good idea is half the battle. The other half is marketing.
Theres 2 main ways to get users for your saas:
#1 Posting Organically
This is the advice that everyone in the tech spaces preaches and its decent advice. Linking your saas in directories, Reddits, comments, writing articles about it, posting on social media etc..
Out of all of these the only good option is if your tool is a hyper specific solution to a people search for on google to do mass seo blog posting for long tail keywords around it to get first page ranking and start getting organic users.
#2 Paid Advertising
This one will not work if your micro saas is too basic. It needs to have some decent functionality behind it to make it worth while for people but the principle is still the same. Just instead of people searching for a solution to a problem you pay to show your ad to a bunch of people and say “Hey this problem you didn’t know you had has a solution now”
I’m not going to go over how to make and launch ads right now but if you want to leave a comment and i’ll make a full guide on it.
