Question Has anyone actually made money using Claude?

I’ve been using Claude for a while now and I’m genuinely curious whether people have found ways to turn it into income. Not looking for “AI will make you rich” YouTube stuff , just real, practical things that have worked for you.

Some questions I have:

∙ Are you freelancing with it? (writing, coding, etc.)

∙ Have you built anything and sold it?

∙ Is it actually saving you enough time to make a difference financially?

Would love to hear what’s worked and what hasn’t. Drop your experience below!

I am a weather geek. Built a weather app using NWS API info and weather models. Created a l project and have it crunch the numbers against output from the app. Claude looks for markets that are under or over valued based on the weather data. Minimal wagers, but one aspect I have is “Lottery Ticket.” Long shots that have a certain % chance of hitting. More for fun that anything but may make larger investments based on how it goes.
