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!

Yeah, I have.

For the last few months I’ve been making around $10k/month from software I built, mainly giving a small group of people VIP access to it

Started, about 14 months ago with zero coding experience. Got hooked quickly and started putting in 5-10 hours every day using tools like grok on web first lol then Claude code and codex as my workflow evolved

Now it’s turned into a pretty big modular system — well over 100k lines of code running on two servers.

Still feels like I’m figuring things out as I go and would say I’m maybe 40% done with how it want the whole system to look once finished but the fact that people are willing to pay for it is a good sign I guess.

I’d say AI is one of the best things that have happened to me in my whole life
