Solo dad hits $1M revenue on Creem in a year building AI tools with AI-written code
gefei55 · x · 2026-10-21
A solo dad developer, coding mainly with AI, hit $100K, $500K and $1M revenue milestones on the Creem payment platform within a year — excluding income via PayPal and Stripe. He runs a subscription business in the crowded AI image/video generation space, showing that big, competitive markets still have lucrative niches. Revenue figures are before API and traffic costs, but as a one-person company he has no payroll. The poster uses the case to argue his community goes beyond "new-keyword sites": after practicing on those, members target real paid demand, growing traffic via SEO, influencer promotion, paid ads, and GEO — with some members' sites already getting monetizable traffic from ChatGPT.
