Very good question.
A quick 6 Tweet thread on some observations on #bubble apps I built for clients. 🔽
Roughly ¼ of apps I built were marketplaces, ¼ social networks, ¼ SaaS solutions, rest Misc.
1/5 of apps used payments.
Most do not need API workflows or more than 5 backend workflows.
80% of my money came from 20% of the apps though. These apps typically have many API workflows and backend workflows.
80% of the complexity therefore comes from 20% of the apps.
People usually want more than what Bubble is capable of and this part is very time consuming.
The most successful clients asked for coaching early as they realised how difficult bubble is to learn and then still let me do the harder stuff.
They all had a clear target group and distribution plan to get users.
The majority of clients never had time to do much with the MVP I built them, realising that entrepreneurship is all time-consuming.
They were also kind of baffled how easy it is to create an MVP with bubble I guess, expecting it would take a year for me.
What is surprising?
How many things one can build with Bubble.
How many painpoints there are in each industry and how smart some people are in tackling them.
How many plugins have not been built yet after 10 years of Bubble being around.
Recently there is a clear trend for
i) including payments early. (Almost too early imo, providing enough value is also important!)
ii) For AI implementation
iii) For connecting not just 1 API but 5

A few people have asked how I made it to $100/hr as a #bubble freelancer.
This is the strategy I used. 🔽
First: whether it is 80 or 120/hr does not matter much. It is more about getting big projects or a client who has many projects or referrals for you.
More hours >> bigger hourly.
So it is about getting clients to trust you.
People trust you when people believe you are the expert.
Hence sharing bubble content on twitter, youtube, the bubble forum or your own site is one way.
Another way is getting lots of great reviews or testimonials on freelancing marketplaces or linkedin or your own site.
