A Three-Step Guide to Monetizing Your Vibe Coding Skills
Today I'm going to show you an easy three-step plan that you can follow to make money with vibe coding. First, I'm going to introduce you to a dedicated vibe coding tool that will make things super easy for you. Second, I'm going to show you exactly where you can find projects that you can take on. Finally, I'm going to show you one of the best value hosting providers out there where you can host dozens, if not hundreds, of websites starting from just a few dollars per month.
The Ultimate Vibe Coding Tool
First, let me show you the tool that we are going to use for this. It's called youware.com. It's an easy way for you to remember the name of this tool. So what does it do exactly? As you can see on their site, the tagline is "finally your computer speaks your language."
So how does it work exactly? You have three different options here: you can create, you can upload, or you can paste your code.
Create, Upload, or Paste
If you want to create, all you have to do is to enter a simple prompt like, for instance, "make me a personal portfolio." It's very simple and straight to the point. Right underneath, you have two different buttons. There's a plus sign to add your own media, so for instance, if you wanted to upload your own logo, you can use it directly here.
You can also use their MCP tool. This allows you to use a copy link to turn your Figma designs into a web page with AI. This is very practical and very useful. You can do the same with Notion and GitHub as well. You can also use YouTube to search videos, captions, and channel data to power rich AI web experiences. It also integrates with Firecrawl, Unsplash for high-quality images, Google Maps, ArXiv for research-driven tools, Flux AI, and Huge Icon. Bear in mind, they are constantly updating this platform and adding more integrations.
In the upload section, you can drag and drop your creations. This should be HTML or TSX files, either a single file or a full folder, and it should be less than 10 megabytes. Or, you can simply paste your code—again, HTML or TSX code here. Feel free to use any of those three methods.
Exploring Project Possibilities
Let's scroll down the page and have a look at the trending projects. These are actual projects that someone has built using this platform that are on display. You can actually reuse them if you wanted to or take inspiration from them.
So what can you build exactly with YouWare? You can build games, productivity tools, education-related tools, presentations, landing pages, dashboards, and portfolios. Let's have a look at games to see what we can build. Here we have "Pick a Number," "Gravitational Slingshot," and "How to Play the Piano." There are unlimited resources, to be honest.
From a more practical point of view, things that you can monetize are probably productivity tools. Presentations and dashboards would also be big ones. Look at this—very, very professional looking. If you wanted to discover those, all you have to do is to click on one. For example, this one is for a personal finance dashboard. This is what it looks like—very professional indeed.
Here's the thing: you can get paid a lot of money to design these types of dashboards because companies rely on this to know exactly how they are doing financially in order to make their lives easier. Obviously, everything is customizable. Let me show you another one here for the stock market. So many different tools and everything. If you were to develop that yourself from scratch, this would take you 10 to 15 days easily. You can also build a CRM system, a project tracker, and more. There's an infinite number of possibilities here that you can build using youware.com.
Understanding the Pricing
Now, I'm sure you're probably wondering, "But how much does this cost?" If you click on the pricing button, it's going to bring you to the plans. As you can see, you can start completely free. That gives you access to five daily tasks, unlimited uploads, and unlimited shared projects.
For just $20 per month, you get access to extended limits on tasks and everything included in the free plan. But this is the most important one: you can download your code. It says "original only." What does that mean exactly? "Original" means content that you created, such as from your prompt, by uploading your own files, or by remixing your own project. In other words, you cannot download code that was remixed from someone else's project to protect the rights of original creators. Once you have done this, you can download it and upload that on any server that you want and link that to your customers' applications. You also get access to opportunities to test new features.
Putting the Tool to the Test
Very good, so let's put this to the test. We're going to go through a few different scenarios here.
Building a Professional Portfolio
The first one, we're going to build a portfolio. The more details you type here, the better the output. For instance, you could have something like this specific request:
Generate a responsive HTML/CSS portfolio website for a designer/developer/writer with these sections: Hero, Work Gallery, Skills, Testimonials, Contact Form. Styling: - Color Scheme: Dark theme with blue accents. - Font: Use 'Poppins'. - Animations: Subtle fade-in on scroll. Technical Notes: - Clean, commented code.
The more accurate your description is, the better the output. Let's run this. As you can see, it's warming up your space, generating, and there's the result.
Let me zoom out a little bit. We have the hero section, our work, skills and expertise, client testimonials, and our contact form. We have the menu section here as well. It's a one-page portfolio, and it all looks good. You also have it in mobile mode. The menu section and the scrolling content exactly follow the prompt that we entered. This is one way of doing it.
Creating a Data-Rich Dashboard
Now, let's build a dashboard together. Again, the more accurate the prompt, the better the output. Here, we're going to request an admin dashboard HTML template with a specific layout, main content, design requirements, and functionalities.
Create an admin dashboard HTML template with: Layout: - A collapsible sidebar navigation. - A header with user profile and notifications. Main Content: - Data cards for key metrics. - A chart for revenue. - A table for recent user signups. Design: - Modern, clean, with a light theme. Functionality: - The sidebar links should be placeholders.
Like I said, the more accurate you are, the more precise the better the output. Let's run this together. It's warming up your space and is now generating.
Excellent, here's the result. Exactly like we entered in the prompt, we have the four different sections here: Dashboard, Analytics, Users, and Settings. Let me expand this to full screen. We have the full experience here. As you can see, you have the user icon, the notification bell, and the menu on the side. This is exactly what we were asking for, including recent activities, revenue per year, and also signups per country. A beautiful dashboard that's been created for us in just a few minutes. If you were to create this by hand, manually coding everything from start to finish, this would take you a week very easily. Here, in just a few minutes, we got it done.
Designing a High-Converting Landing Page
And now, let's try to build a high-converting landing page because there's a lot of money to be made with this. Again, we have the full prompt here.
Generate a SaaS landing page HTML template focused on converting visitors to sign up. Sections: - Hero section with a clear call-to-action (CTA). - Features section with icons. - Testimonials. - Pricing table. - FAQ section. Conversion Elements: - Prominent "Sign Up" buttons. - A lead capture form in the hero section or a modal. Design: - Bright, modern, and trustworthy.
Let's run this together. As always, it's warming up your workspace and generating. This is done now, so let's expand it to full screen. We have a pop-up window here, very good. Like we said, it's for a SaaS company, so it has features, testimonials, pricing, and FAQs. "Boost your productivity by 200%"—that's a very nice hero section, to be honest. We have our features, "Trusted by expert leaders," the pricing structure, FAQ, and the call-to-action button. This is not too bad at all. This has been created for us again in just a few minutes.
Deploying Your Project
Now, let's pretend this is our finished product we're going to use for our client. We can publish it now. As you can see, it's published successfully. This is the link to our actual project. If you click on this, it will open up in a new tab and show you the finished result.
If you go back to your account and want to use this and upload it to your server, all you have to do is go to your profile section. Right here, you'll find the three different projects we just created together. If you wanted to use one of them and upload it to your server, all you have to do is click on the three dots and download it. Then, save this on your hard drive.
Now, we need to upload that to our server. You can choose any hosting provider that you want, but if you're only starting up, I would highly recommend using an affordable provider like Hostinger. They are fast, reliable, and also super affordable, often starting at only a couple of dollars per month.
For a small monthly fee, you can often host up to 25 websites. If you create your websites or projects using YouWare, you can upload them here and pass that on to your clients. But don't worry, because as you grow, you might need more storage for 50 or even 100 websites. You can start with a basic plan and always upgrade to the next one up as you see fit.
Once you've gone through the checkout process with a provider, you'll be redirected to a dashboard. You can often claim a free domain with your hosting plan. Once your domain name is registered, it will be linked to your hosting plan. Simply click on your domain name, and this will bring you to your main dashboard.
From here, we need to upload the files. You'll find a File Manager. Access it, and it will open in a new tab. From here, go to your public_html folder and upload the source code right there. I'm just going to drag and drop the zip file here.
Now, I need to extract it. Right-click on it and select "Extract." I'm going to extract this into our root folder, so I'll simply type a dot (.) here and then extract. As you can see, we have index.html and an assets folder. We can delete the zip file now.
Now, let's access the website. We go back to the dashboard, click on the domain link, and open it. There you go. As you can see, this is the exact website we had on the YouWare platform, except now it's hosted on our own server. Obviously, now you can do the same for your clients and get paid for this. This is how you can set this up on your own server.
Finding Your First Clients
Excellent. So now, let me show you where you can find projects that you can work on.
If you go to Fiverr, a well-known platform, and search for "dashboard" as an example, you will find people who are selling that for $300, $600, and even $1,200. As you can see, this is exactly what we did. One gig says, "I will design UI/UX software, intuitive SaaS, and software dashboard." This is exactly what we've done, and you can get paid a good bit of money for this.
Or maybe you look for "portfolio websites" specifically. Here, you can get paid maybe $80 or $100, maybe a bit more, up to $150. That's really up to you. And again, you can build this in just a few minutes.
There are a few different platforms other than Fiverr. You have Quark, and from here, you could go into the "Design" section and then "Web and Mobile Design." This would be suitable for the type of work we have in mind. Or perhaps Legit, where they also have a web design section, and you could create lead generation landing pages like the ones shown and charge maybe $100 or $130.
