☕ THE COLD OPEN - 📧 Free IMAP API → paid key → $20K MRR, solo
- 💶 First 1.5 years: only €750. Then the switch
- 💇 AI haircut lookbook: ~$20K MRR on TikTok
- 📝 Outrank paid blog owners $10,030 in a month
License keys beat free forever. 5 minutes. Money first. Let’s go. |

👀 ALSO MAKING MONEY - 📊 Shopify P&L app → ~$30K MRR. Jack (@jackdoesecom) turned client P&Ls into a CSV → Cursor → Shopify profit app. ~38-39 paying at ~$799/mo after a $5K/mo plan flopped; $147K since Christmas 2025, plus ~$40K MRR services. Mostly WOM, no hard launch (founder-reported). Copy this: export one spreadsheet you rebuild for clients and ship it as a paid MVP.
- 🎨 One MCP → $107K in 30 days. CreativeClaw (Polar-verified): one remote MCP so Claude/ChatGPT call top image, video, audio, and 3D models in one chat. $107,395 last 30 days / $12,040 MRR / 228 subs. $10 = 1,000 non-expiring credits. Founded April 2026 (CreativeClaw). Copy this: wrap one multi-model job (image + video + voice) as an MCP and price credits, not seats.
