What It Is
You pick an outcome people want (more social reach, better Facebook ads, a faster HYROX race time), have AI research how experts get that result, and build it as a step-by-step tool in Base44. You then turn the same workflow into a standalone AI skill sold for about $17, offer the tool itself as a subscription, and invite buyers to a higher-priced done-for-you service.
The Pitch
The creator says his ad-writing tool reached about $1,227 in monthly recurring revenue in under two weeks from a handful of posts on his personal Facebook page, with no ad spend. He says 20-30% of $17 buyers go on to buy the tool, which lets paid ads pay for themselves.
Who It’s Best For
Someone who knows what a specific audience struggles with and is willing to promote a small product consistently.
The Truth (as we see it)
The revenue shown is real but small and came partly from an existing audience of about 15,000 creators. The conversion rates are the creator's own figures. Software you build inside a proprietary builder depends on that platform. The creator earns from Base44 sign-ups and offers his '50 Sales Sprint' program free in exchange for joining through his link.
