Made $500/month in 2 weeks after failing for a year straight – here’s what changed

Still kind of in shock about this.

What happened:

You know OpenClaw, that AI assistant that blew up on Twitter? Everyone wanted to try it, but the setup was a nightmare – you needed to mess with servers, API keys, all this technical stuff.

I made a simple version where you just click a button and it works. That's it.

The journey:

Last year I spent months building 3 different apps. Made them perfect, added every feature I could think of.

Made $0 from all of them.

This time I saw people complaining about OpenClaw being hard to set up, built something in 4 days while people still cared, and now 20+ people are paying me monthly.

What I learned:

Don't spend months making something perfect. Build it fast, ship it while people want it, fix it later.

Also turns out AI tools can help you build way faster than doing everything yourself.

$500/month isn't huge, but after a year of making nothing, it feels amazing.
