Target the “help people make more money” side-hustle niche, ship deliberately minimal AI apps under 15 screens, price them by the “solve one problem in one minute and you can charge $100/year” rule, and cold-start via influencer revenue splits or paid ads
Fewer bars = easier, cheaper, or faster for an AI-assisted solo builder. Editorial judgments based on the case details.
The creator built a portfolio of mobile apps, both in the same “side-hustler / help people make money” niche. Scan Profit is live: subscribers scan barcodes at their local grocery store and the app tells them whether the item can be resold on Amazon at a profitable price, marketed on the strength of top-tier Amazon-grade data. Closer Coach is an AI-driven role-play app for practicing sales skills, which he describes as “Duolingo for sales.” Both apps come in under 15 screens — minimalism by design.
