I paid an agency $10,000 for software. Then I built it myself.

Build It Boring is 30 days of short emails. Each one walks you through building a real tool for a real business with Claude. No coding background, no developer, no $10,000 invoice.

How I got here

In 2025 I paid a California agency $10,000 to build my telehealth site. They promised it in 45 days.

Eight weeks later I got my "finished" site: stock photos, paragraphs lifted from another company's website, broken links and filler text. I had to threaten a complaint with the state Attorney General to get most of my money back.

So I took the half-built mess, started picking it apart, and learned to build with Claude. Here's what happened next:

  • I built my own telehealth platform. The one I'd paid for.
  • I built software for my portable building lots that gave me back 10+ hours a week: no more customer emails, photo uploads and inventory busywork.
  • A national dealer network acquired it, for more than I made in five years at my old government job.
  • I built two more, for mattress dealers and metal building dealers, and turned them into a subscription network that's on track for $20K a month by year end.

I'm not a Silicon Valley guy. I built my first website on Geocities. I own portable building lots in Louisiana, a coffee shop and an energy drink company. Busy is an understatement, which is exactly why I needed my software to do the boring stuff.

Find the boring, underserved businesses and fix their headaches. That's where the money is, and nobody's fighting you for it.

Mitch, on the lot. Photo coming soon; he's been busy building.

Who it's for

You own a business

And you're tired of:

  • doing the same busywork every night after close
  • paying for software that almost fits
  • getting burned by developers who disappear

You want to start one

And you'd rather sell a $149/mo tool to plumbers than build the next social media app.

Either way, you don't need to know how to code. You need to know what's annoying, and how to explain it to Claude.

30 emails. 30 builds. About 15 minutes a day.

By Day 30 you'll have a working tool that sends quotes, follows up and gets paid. And you'll know how to build the next one without me.

  1. Week 1

    Talk to Claude so it builds what you mean

    A one-page site, a quote calculator, and how to rein Claude in when it goes off the rails.

  2. Week 2

    Not everything lives in your code

    Databases, logins, photo storage, keeping secrets secret. The part that tripped me up most.

  3. Week 3

    Make it work while you sleep

    Quotes by email, automatic follow-ups, texts, getting paid with Stripe, and AI that won't make up prices.

  4. Week 4

    Keep it running, then sell it

    Knowing when it breaks, what it really costs, picking a boring market, pricing, and your first three customers.

Every email has

  • a short, true story from building my businesses, dumb mistakes included
  • one real build you finish that day
  • the exact prompt to copy and paste
  • a 15-minute task so it actually gets done

What you'll need

Days 1–6

A web browser and a free claude.ai account.

Day 7 on

A paid Claude plan (about $20/month) for Claude Code. I'll tell you exactly when and why before you spend anything.

Hosting, databases and email all start on free tiers. No surprise costs. I've had enough surprise costs for all of us.

On my metal building lots I used to spend hours writing quotes and chasing people who'd gone quiet. Now a customer gets a quote in seconds and the follow-ups go out on their own.

I don't hear a thing until somebody's ready to buy.

Questions

I've never coded. Is this really for me?

Yes. Day 1 is a website, in your browser, in 15 minutes. Mine was on Geocities. We'll be fine.

Is this "get rich with AI"?

No. It's "stop doing the same chores every night," and maybe "sell the fix to people with the same chores." My results took real work and aren't typical. Yours will depend on you.

What if I fall behind?

The emails wait for you. Do Day 4 on a Saturday. Nobody's grading.

Why $27?

Because I paid $10,000 to learn the hard way, and you shouldn't have to.

What if it's not for me?

30 days, no hoops. Reply to any email within 30 days of buying and I'll refund your $27. You can keep what you built.

$10,000 taught me this. You can learn it for $27.
