I see a lot post in this sub where people ask questions about how you could make money by vibe coding. I really think this is the wrong way to think about it.
First and foremost vibe coding is just a tool. It’s not a product itself. which means that the question could also be «how are you guys making money programming» or «how are you guys making money building stuff?» Or even «How are you guys making money by working?»
What makes you money, is having a great product that’s used and loved by customers. So in order to start making money on vibe coding you should start by identifying a problem or an issue that you or your coworkers or someone you know might have in their day-to-day life.
most likely they’re not alone. you can even do some quick research to figure out if this is too nieche of a market or if it appeals to the brother audience in the way that you would like
To use myself as an example the products that I vibe coded are either app ideas that I’ve had for a long long time that I finally are able to be put into life, or it’s spontaneous ideas that solve a really specific problem that either me or my coworkers have.
What vibe coding does is that it lowers the bar and lowers the cost of entry into programming which means that more ideas are able to be realised which again means that more great products that solve your specific issue can be made.
The point I’m trying to make is that if you Put more focus into your ideas less focus into how to make money and I think we will have a lot more great products that potentially could make you a lot more money in the end.
One of the newest workflows that I’ve started doing on my project it’s been a voice session with Claude on Sonnet and describe my idea in broad terms and then have Claude ask me all relevant questions in order to fully flush out a PRD. Then I can later just feed that PRD into a code session on opus and have it figure out milestones and start building the code immediately.
