Sell a working AI tool, not a tutorial: lessons from auditing 13 real cases
An audit of 13 real cases of people making money with AI agents finds they all sell a tool, not a tutorial. Reported numbers include $41K from a single PDF in one night, $3.3K MRR from Reddit build-in-public posts, and $32K MRR from three databases. A striking finding from 9,363 Reddit posts: productivity tools get the most requests but the weakest willingness to pay, while finance gets the fewest requests but buyers pay most. Figures are self-reported and unverified.
