How to build a product in 2026 👇
HOW I EARNED 70K IN ONE MONTH FROM MY SaaS
This post could have been an article, but I am lazy and wanted to give an overview of how I did it.
In January 2026, I created my first-ever application, InterviewPrepNotes (UI is still bad ik). I didn't know anything about SEO, Domain Rating, AEO or GEO.
In the first 7 months of building this application, I learned and implemented these things side by side on InterviewPrepNotes. Basically, FAFO.
I wanted to test whether I had actually learned anything from all this or whether these were just X clicks that I was getting.
So I made Cliputils, a tool that does basic conversion and processing of images, videos and audio. I implemented all my learnings from Day 1 of this project and launched it on 19th July.
From 19th July to 29th September, the total number of files processed was just 400. But in October alone, more than 70,000+ files were processed.
I'm now getting clicks from ChatGPT (my major source), Google and Bing.
In just the last 35 days, Cliputils has made over ₹72,000, and my expenses have been around ₹15K–18K. I had to introduce the freemium model because backend costs were rising pretty fast.
Research and work on your products:
>Domain Rating
>Bing Webmaster Tools
>Google Search Console
>The market you cater to
>All the high frequency queries
>Queries that you can potentially target and rank for
Your product should be good enough that repeating customers keep visiting your site.
People coming from ChatGPT might start Googling your site, creating more branded search queries, and so on.
WORK ON YOUR PRODUCT DAILY AND ITERATE ON THE QUALITY DAILY.

This is so similar to what I wanna try achieve plus the Guitar too 🎸🎸
I did this for 2 weeks and it felt great, so I'm running the same experiment again with some more objectives.
In the time period spanning 26th October - 5th November, I took a challenge, of playing any sport for a minimum of 1 hour a day. Be it badminton or football. I felt more energised in my daily life than I remember in a long time, so I'm doing it again, but with more objectives, till the end of this month.
1 - play a minimum of 1 hour, or any sport, OR work out at the gym for 1.5 hours.
2 - consume 3-4 liters of Di-hydrogen Monoxide (H2O) a day.
3 - sleep for a minimum of 6 hours a day, and 8 on weekends that I have off from work.
4 - play my guitar for a minimum of 30 mins a day.
5 - code something or read open source code for a minimum of 3p mins a day, apart from work codebase.
Nothing specific about the objectives or the timeframe, it's something I've been wanting to do, so i'mma do it at the earliest opportunity available!
If y'all got a few things you've been wanting to do in your daily life - feel free to join in!

A lot of people ask me which open source orgs they should contribute to or ask me to suggest 2-3 orgs.
But I genuinely think you should explore projects based on your own interests and stacks.
A project that works for you might not work for someone else.
It's all about FAFO.

SEO Hack 101: get your product listed on skills.sh, Vercel's directory for AI agent skills.
1. Write a SKILL.md, a short guide that tells an AI agent how to help with your topic.
2. Put it in a public GitHub repo.
3. Run npx skills add your-org/your-repo once.
That's it. You get a public page with an install command, a counter, and a link back to your site.
Took me about 20 minutes for our product!

Credit to @tarasshyn for the idea. The link is nofollow, but you still get a page that people and agents can find.

Your parent's home is not designed for ambition and productivity. It is designed for eating, sitting, talking, watching entertainment, sleeping, or lazing around. It works for them. It doesn't work for you. They didn't have to open 37 tabs and push buttons on a screen to earn their bread. That kind of knowledge work where you make stuff happen on a computer needs to be done somewhere else. I've tried for 15 years now. Working at home just doesn't work.
