Back in September, I quit my job.
I launched ColorBliss in October.
It was 93 days until I hit $100 MRR.
It took 94 more days to grow to $1k MRR.
And now, just 26 days later, I made it to $2k!
ColorBliss is an AI-powered app that creates printable line drawings that you can color in
Like pages from a coloring book, except you can create them on the fly.
Regarding the big recent jump in revenue, Ben explained…
Between $1k and $2k I added new features and new pricing!
Also…
I focused on SEO before I even built the first version of the product, and most sales have come from organic search
i’ve dabbled in some paid acquisition
and recently email marketing has been quite effective!
Sure, you could probably just use ChatGPT to create coloring pages similar to ColorBliss.
But clearly Ben’s specialized app produces superior results and people are happy to pay for it
So much so that Ben recently tweeted…
I…might actually be able to support my family by selling coloring page software…which is amazing
what a time to be alive!
Indeed.

A couple of ideas off the back of all this
First, look for other profitable niches and try building AI apps to serve them.
Building such apps probably isn’t as hard as you think: check out this 15-minute tutorial on YouTube…

Second, consider getting into the coloring niche.
Maybe use ColorBliss to create a niche website full of free printable coloring sheets, similar to Kelly Crean…
Or use it to create a coloring book that you could sell on Amazon or Etsy
