How I Made $100 Before Launching Career Craft AI

As a developer, I’m happiest when I’m building, creating something cool. But when it comes to selling my creations, let’s just say I’ve had more than my fair share of the learning curves. 😛

But this time was different. This time, I decided to give it a shot before diving headfirst into launching Career Craft AI. And you know what? Well, it actually worked out reasonably well.

So, what’s Career Craft AI? It’s a collection of AI tools designed to make job applications effortless.

You’re familiar with job descriptions (JDs) – they’re verbose, lengthy, and sifting through them to find key requirements is rather time-consuming. And as for writing cover letters? Well, you may spend hours trying to craft perfect cover letters, yet they often leave you unsatisfied.

That’s one problem we are determined to tackle with Career Craft AI. Our ‘Write Cover Letter with AI‘ tool is here to save those hours. You can input the job description and your resume summary, and with just a single click, you get a personalized, impactful cover letter in seconds.

However, these tools didn’t just magically appear out of thin air. Nope, they’ve been months in the making, refined and improved with each round of user feedback.

When I first started working on the “Write Cover Letter with AI” tool back in mid-2023, I had no idea where it would take me. Moreover, GPT models, LangChain were still in their infancy at that time. I showed it to a few friends as a fun project, then life got in the way (as it often does), and it fell by the wayside. But as luck would have it, I decided to give it another shot.

Starting with a basic MVP, I reached out to a few friends and ex-colleagues for feedback. They requested longer cover letters (which we now offer), details about the company’s nature (now added in our AI tool), and enhancements to professional profiles for influencers, among other suggestions. These early-user inputs were invaluable to us. With each iteration, we carefully considered their feedback, making tweaks and improvements along the way.

And you know what? It paid off. Over the months, our AI tools got better and better. It was not just building AI tools, but crafting effective solutions tailored to the needs of real job seekers. To be honest, we didn’t have too many of them – but those who experienced how many hours they could easily save with an AI-generated cover letter draft, were quite happy.

So, fast forward to last week, Career Craft AI was finally ready for its public debut. And while we may not have hoards of sign-ups flooding in just yet, we’ve got something even better – a few testimonials from early users who saw the potential in our little project from the start.

Oh, you know what the cherry on top was? Career Craft AI made a little over $100 before its official launch on 28ᵗʰ Feb ’24. Sure, it’s not a fortune, but it’s a start. And it’s proof that Career Craft AI has potential – and I’m determined to unlock it.

What next? Growing beyond the initial launch buzz, of course! That means learning and practicing some marketing (ahem!). As for the development, besides improvement to the current AI tools, we plan to launch a few more AI tools for resume. I want Career Craft AI to be the go-to platform for job seekers everywhere, offering a complete suite of AI tools to make their job applications effortless.

So, here’s to the exciting adventure ahead with Career Craft AI – it’s going to be one heck of a ride. Join us to follow this journey.
