Code Once, Profit Forever: The Developer’s Guide to Lazy Wealth

1. Rebrand Existing Ideas – Take an old open-source project, slap a new UI on it, and call it “AI-powered.”

2. Subscription Everything – Even if it’s a to-do list app, make it $9.99/month. People love commitment.

3. Dark Mode Premium – Basic users get blinding white. Want dark mode? That’s $4.99.

4. Bug-Driven Growth – Release a free version full of “unintentional” bugs. The paid version magically fixes them.

5. AI-ify It – Even if it doesn’t use AI, just add a chatbot that repeats “I’m still learning” and call it “Next-Gen AI.”

6. NFT Your Error Messages – “404 Page Not Found” but make it collectible.

7. Launch on Product Hunt, Then Ghost – Just enough hype for VC interest, then disappear to the Bahamas.

There you go—fortune awaits! Now go forth and monetize.

It has it porpouse.

Patience 🙂
