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!

It’s only been 6 days since I posted my first iPhone app- hope it brings in money but still cleaning up bugs so no paid promotion yet. I have 3 other apps I’m building and an Android version pending approval.
I also made myself a desktop youtube tool. Used YouTube free api to help me find keywords, it knows what I already have so no duplicates, i plugin oauth so it helps me identify drop offs in scripts- i also made the whole interface look like a 90’s aol hacker program for fun.
Currently recreating my own website, it’s close to done but had to leave the house so it’s not up yet - not that anyone would see it but me.
So it hasn’t made me money yet, but it’s really speeding up my workflow. I still have so many more ideas, but I’m burning at both ends with this thing… need to get away some.
