All right, forget everything you know about coding. What if I told you that

about coding. What if I told you that the future of app development isn't about having strong technical skills?

All you need is a good idea and the ability to describe it clearly. Now,

vibe coding has taken the world by storm. And in this video, I'm going to

storm. And in this video, I'm going to share with you exactly how you can join in on this movement. I'll be explaining what vibe coding is, show you a few cool examples of vibe coded apps, as well as some ways you can make real money with

it. Because trust me, there's a huge

it. Because trust me, there's a huge untapped opportunity right now that most people aren't even aware of. In fact,

last week I built this cloud career coach using a tool called Emergent. And

it's got all the features I need. User

authentication, AI powered recommendations, and a payment gateway for premium purchases. Want to take a guess on how much money I spent and how long it took? Well, $5 and 28 minutes to

be exact. But before I share how I built

be exact. But before I share how I built it, let's talk about what vibe coding really is. So, vibe coding is when you

really is. So, vibe coding is when you build software by simply describing what you want in plain English rather than just writing traditional code. You tell

the AI your idea. It generates the code and then you can keep prompting it with changes until you're satisfied by the result. Now, when many people hear the

result. Now, when many people hear the word coding, they might think that it's only for developers. But here's the truth. You don't actually need technical

truth. You don't actually need technical skills to vibe code an application. I

mean, yeah, it helps. But as a non-coder, there's nothing stopping you from building mobile games, SAS apps, and even complex AI systems. All you need to do is chat with a simple interface. And this is something you'll

interface. And this is something you'll already be familiar with if you've ever used Chad GBT. If you're watching this video in 2025, the timing couldn't be better. While everyone's still learning

better. While everyone's still learning Python and React, you can literally skip all of that and go straight to building real products that can make you money.

As Sam Olman, CEO of OpenAI, has said, "We're moving towards a future where the barrier between having an idea and implementing it is disappearing." This

means every idea you've ever had that you thought was too technical to build can now be made a reality. Now, you

might be wondering, why has Vibe coding taken the world by storm? Well, it's

because even experienced software engineers are choosing to vibe code instead of manually typing every line.

For years, it was accepted by the tech industry that end to-end applications would take weeks or months to build. But

nowadays, programmers can come up with an idea, mock up the complete interface and functionality with AI and then push it to production in just a few days.

This completely changes the game. And

right now, there's a bit of a gold rush as both startups and established companies are joining on this vibe coding movement. In fact, the hardest

coding movement. In fact, the hardest part now is coming up with the idea and knowing exactly what you want your app to do. I do have to mention though that

to do. I do have to mention though that vibe coding, like other errors in tech, does carry its own risks. For example,

if you're looking to scale your vibe coded app to thousands of users, it could be prone to security flaws if you don't handle the authentication and data security carefully. If you're a

security carefully. If you're a non-coder, I'd recommend partnering up with a more experienced developer, especially if you're looking to build a startup or collect personal information.

Okay, let's now talk about vibe coding tools. What can you use to vibe code an

tools. What can you use to vibe code an application? Well, you've got a few

application? Well, you've got a few options depending on what you want to build. If you're a complete beginner,

build. If you're a complete beginner, you can even get started with something like ChadBt. Here's a cloud career quiz

like ChadBt. Here's a cloud career quiz I vibe coded by just typing in my requirements. It's a single file HTML

requirements. It's a single file HTML app, but for something simple like a quiz, it gets the job done. But ChadByt

is currently limited to super basic applications like static websites and mini games. If you want to build a

mini games. If you want to build a complete end-to-end application with features like authentication, Stripe integration, and AI powered recommendations, you'll need a more advanced tool. What I use is this

advanced tool. What I use is this platform called Emergent, which is specifically designed to help you vibe code production ready applications. You

can build, test, launch, and scale all in one place. What I found really interesting is that within the first 3 months of launch, Immer has become one of the fastest growing AI startups with over 1 million builders and over 1.5

million apps built. Pretty impressive.

We're going to use it for today's tutorial because it's free to get started and they provide you with a decent amount of credits when you sign up. But before that, let's take a look

up. But before that, let's take a look at some of the apps that other people have vibe coded and then I'll walk you through how I built my own app, which is this cloud career coach. Okay, so here's a few examples from the Vibe Coding community. And now I'm going to share

community. And now I'm going to share with you some of my favorite ones. The

first is this digital subscription manager. What I can do is add in my

manager. What I can do is add in my subscriptions and then it calculates my monthly and annual expense. The second

one is this cool Flappy Bird game. You

can also adjust the game settings, so the gravity, obstacle gap, as well as game speed. Next, we have this AI

game speed. Next, we have this AI storybook creator. I can create a new

storybook creator. I can create a new story, select the age, theme, character traits, and let's see what story it generates. Bob's Jungle Safari

generates. Bob's Jungle Safari Adventure. Pretty cool. And finally, we

Adventure. Pretty cool. And finally, we have this AI goal coach, which is actually where I got my cloud career coach idea from. You can enter your next

big goal. So, for example, get fit, add

big goal. So, for example, get fit, add goal, and then click on get AI guidance.

Cool. So, it provides you with some action steps and helpful resources. This

is a pretty cool way to keep track of your goals. Now, let me show you the

your goals. Now, let me show you the cloud career coach I vibe coded and how you can create one for yourself. First,

let me show you what it looks like. So,

10x your cloud career with AI guidance.

Let's start a free assessment. It's

going to ask you to sign in or sign up.

I'm going to create a new account. So,

I'll type in my full name, email, and password. Nice. So, I can sign in now.

password. Nice. So, I can sign in now.

And here's the interface. When I log in, I'm going to click on start assessment.

And for example, let's say I'm a student. My level of experience is

student. My level of experience is beginner. Current skills AWS Azure. And

beginner. Current skills AWS Azure. And

then I'll type in my career goals. So,

for example, I want to become a solutions architect focused on security.

Click on complete assessment. And there

you go. It's updated my profile. There's

a career road map as well as some next steps that I could take. What I also have in this cloud career coach is a motivation section. There's a career

motivation section. There's a career tip. There's a quote of the day as well

tip. There's a quote of the day as well as some additional tips on how to form good daily habits and some weekly goals that you can complete. The third part to this cloud career coach is premium study

plans. There's a monthly and yearly

plans. There's a monthly and yearly option. And if I click upgrade to

option. And if I click upgrade to monthly, it directs me to Stripe so users can enter their bank details and make a purchase. Okay, now that you've seen what my app looks like, let me walk you through how I was able to vibe

coded. And honestly, the secret to vibe

coded. And honestly, the secret to vibe coding is having really clear prompts.

If we zoom in to the left hand side, this is the prompt that I entered. Build

a cloud career coach app to help cloud professionals their productivity. I've

listed the core features including a motivation engine, daily motivational quotes, premium study plans. I've also

added the technical requirements as well as the user flow. I actually didn't manually type all of this myself. I

explained to Chat GBT exactly what I wanted and it was able to come up with this for me. And the reason I do that is just so that it can polish up the prompt a bit more. So once I typed in this

fairly long prompt, you can see that the agent gets to work and it asks me a few follow-up questions. So, key

follow-up questions. So, key clarifications needed and I pretty much just left it to the AI to decide what was best for me and in just under 10 minutes I was given this app. Now, as

you can see, this is a full end to- end app. So, what I'm going to show you now

app. So, what I'm going to show you now is how to deploy it. And it's actually very simple. I just need to click on

very simple. I just need to click on save to GitHub, select a repo, so let's say YouTube, and push to a new branch.

So, cloud career coach. And then I'll click on push to GitHub. Nice. Okay. So,

if I view on GitHub, the project is now in my account. I can also choose to fork my project, which is great for testing and spending less tokens. Forking the

session also helps you preserve context and also refresh memory. Anyways, now

that I've saved the project onto GitHub, I can click on deploy and then start a new deployment. And deploying a project

new deployment. And deploying a project will charge you 50 credits a month.

Cool. So, I've clicked on deploy and the deployment is now in progress. While

that runs, let me show you how credits work and also the pricing of Emergent.

So, as I mentioned earlier, Emergent is free to get started with, but if you'd like additional credits, here are a few options available. I've actually

options available. I've actually upgraded to the pro tier, mainly because of how much Vibe coding I do. But you

can get a standard $17 a month one, and it gives you 100 credits every month. In

fact, I believe in the future of vibe coding so much that I've even migrated my own website, Zero to Cloud, to emergent. So, everything you see here

emergent. So, everything you see here was completely vibe coded. I didn't have to write a single line of code. And to

give you an idea of how much it cost, it consumed around $100 worth of credit, which in my opinion is a pretty good deal. And in the future, I can easily

deal. And in the future, I can easily add on more AI powered features onto my website. So, now that you know how to

website. So, now that you know how to vibe code, let's go through some important best practices that you need to know. The first is learning how to

to know. The first is learning how to prompt the right way. I recommend

checking out this guide by Emergent on crafting effective props. You can see here that you can follow a simple framework where you can specify the business goal, core features, target users, and success criteria. Next,

remember that version control is critical. Always use Git or GitHub to

critical. Always use Git or GitHub to save your progress regularly. When

something breaks, you can always roll back to a working version instead of starting over. And thirdly, try to

starting over. And thirdly, try to understand your code. Don't just accept what the AI gives you. You can ask it to explain how things work and also add comments to the code. This will make it a lot easier for you to troubleshoot if anything goes wrong in production. Last

but not least, keep security front of mind. Make sure you explicitly tell the

mind. Make sure you explicitly tell the AI to include security measures and add the right amount of protection in place before you scale your application to the public. All right, on to the part you've

public. All right, on to the part you've all been waiting for. How can you make money with Vibe Coding? Well, the cloud career coach I shared earlier was one example. Pretty much building something

example. Pretty much building something with a free version and then charging for its premium features. But let me share with you some real examples of people who are actually making money with Vibe Coding right now. First,

there's Peter Levels, a game developer who launched a fully functioning game he vibe coded, earning $1 million in annual recurring revenue in just 17 days. And

here's an interesting opportunity if you're a technical developer. There are

now dozens of freelancers on platforms like Fiverr who are making money by fixing other people's vibe coded projects. But yeah, pretty much all you

projects. But yeah, pretty much all you need is an idea in any niche and a solid business model. All right, this brings

business model. All right, this brings us to the end of this video. Let me know your thoughts on vibe coding in the comments below and I'll see you in the next one. Bye for now.

next one. Bye for now.
