Making small apps yourself instead of promoting them — Lovable Masterclass by Ralf Schmitz
Most threads in this section are about earning from apps somebody else built. I went the other way last year and started building my own, without knowing how to code.
The tool is called Lovable. You type out what the application should do, in ordinary sentences, and it assembles a working version. No development environment, no programming language, no team. My first one calculates shipping costs across a handful of countries; a small business pays me a monthly fee to keep it running on their site. The second is a booking form with a waiting list behind it.
An honest warning: things look finished long before they work. My first attempt returned wrong numbers because I had described the conditions loosely, and I only caught it when testing with real figures. You have to break a job into small, checkable steps rather than describing it all at once.
The reason I am posting now is that Ralf Schmitz — a German online marketer working in this field since 2007 — put out a course on the tool this month. It covers apps and applications, opt-in and sales pages, shop pages and blogs, payment integration, email marketing, SEO and visibility in AI answers, and it ships with a prompt library holding every template used in the course, plus the live webinar recording and community access. Worth saying clearly: the whole thing is in German, so it is only useful to you if you read the language.
The launch price is 497 euros net against 997 euros regular, and it runs until 21 August, 23:59. Here is the offer.
For transparency: I earn a commission on purchases made through that link.
My question to the board: has anyone here actually sold a self-built tool to a business rather than just using it privately? I am curious how you priced it — one-off or monthly.
