Each morning Andy Cloke watched freeCodeCamp tutorials until he built his first project, verbly.io, a Spanish 🇪🇸 learning site.
The Spanish learning site had 1,000s of free users - but made $0.

So Andy went to work on his next idea, a SaaS called Influence Grid.
Influence Grid made it easy to identify micro-influencers on TikTok.
Within a few months of launching, Andy scaled Influence Grid to $3K MRR.

He then sold it to a US based company for $60K 💸
His next project is his current focus, Data Fetcher, a tool that lets you create and run API requests within Airtable.
Data Fetcher is now at $4K MRR.

Andy's advice was this:
1) Look at a platforms that are taking off, whether it's TikTok or Airtable.
2) Then look at tools surrounding the older platform, for examples add ons or extensions.
3) Build similar tools that for the new platform.
4) Finally, just do it.
