Have you ever dreamed of becoming a self-taught developer and creating an app that generates a huge income? This issue of "Independent Development Monetization Weekly" will reveal an exciting story for you. Malcolm Tyson, a self-taught programmer and designer, developed a content generation app called “NHS” through artificial intelligence (AI) and successfully achieved a monthly income of approximately $30,000. Let’s find out how he did it!
Malcolm’s story began in July 2020, when OpenAI released a powerful API-based AI engine-GPT-3. He is full of curiosity about this new technology and is eager to try to apply it in actual projects. After gaining access to OpenAI, Malcolm realized he could leverage the technology to develop an easy-to-use application that would help users generate content quickly.
As a self-taught programmer and designer, Malcolm did not choose to outsource or form a team, but took on the development tasks alone. He moved to Brazil, where the cost of living is relatively low, to stay competitive on price. After a month of hard work, he successfully completed writing the application in December 2020 and had a fully functional MVP (minimum viable product).
During the development process, Malcolm's biggest challenge was how to get GPT-3 to have a smooth conversation with users and find user groups who could benefit from such a service. To solve this problem, he designed a simple and easy-to-use interface that allows users to get what they need with only a few inputs. At the same time, he accurately positioned target user groups such as freelance writers, small businesses and marketing agencies.
To attract his first customers, Malcolm relied on Facebook and Google ads for promotion. He successfully attracted a large number of potential customers through carefully designed advertising copy and target audience positioning. Not only did these ads bring him initial sales, but they also helped him achieve $100,000 in sales in the first month after launching on the App Store.
During the entrepreneurial process, Malcolm emphasized the importance of continuous testing and optimization. He noticed that users were price-sensitive, so he adjusted the pricing strategy in a timely manner to attract more users. At the same time, he created a Facebook group as a user community to provide them with a platform for communication and interaction. Through this community, he is able to understand user needs in a timely manner and continuously improve product functions.
Today, the NHS already has a stable user base and considerable revenue. Malcolm plans to focus on creating more profit opportunities in the future, such as by providing paid content such as courses or e-books to help users create content that can make money. In addition, he also plans to further expand the user community and increase user stickiness and activity.
Malcolm’s story shows us the miraculous process of how a self-taught developer uses AI technology to create wealth. His success is not accidental, but stems from his love for technology, keen insight into the market, and the courage to try and the spirit of continuous optimization. If you also want to try to develop your own small money-making product, then please take action! Follow in the footsteps of Malcolm and explore this world full of infinite possibilities!
