00:00Alright, forget everything you know about coding.

00:02What if I told you that the future of app development isn't about having strong technical skills.

00:06All you need is a good idea and the ability to describe it clearly.

00:10Now, Vibe Coding has taken the world by storm,

00:12and in this video I'm going to share with you exactly how you can join in on this movement.

00:16I'll be explaining what Vibe Coding is,

00:18show you a few cool examples of Vibe Coded apps,

00:20as well as some ways you can make real money with it.

00:22Because trust me, there's a huge untapped opportunity right now that most people aren't even aware of.

00:27In fact, last week I built this cloud career coach using a tool called Emergent,

00:31and it's got all the features I need.

00:32User authentication, AI-powered recommendations, and a payment gateway for premium purchases.

00:37Want to take a guess on how much money I spent and how long it took?

00:41Well, $5.28 to be exact.

00:43But before I share how I built it, let's talk about what Vibe Coding really is.

00:47So, Vibe Coding is when you build software by simply describing what you want in plain English,

00:52rather than just writing traditional code.

00:53You tell the AI your idea, it generates the code,

00:56and then you can keep prompting it with changes until you're satisfied by the result.

00:59Now, when many people hear the word coding, they might think that it's only for developers.

01:03But here's the truth.

01:04You don't actually need technical skills to Vibe Coding application.

01:07I mean, yeah, it helps.

01:09But as a non-coder, there's nothing stopping you from building mobile games,

01:12SaaS apps, and even complex AI systems.

01:14All you need to do is chat with a simple interface.

01:17And this is something you'll already be familiar with if you've ever used ChatGPT.

01:21If you're watching this video in 2025, the timing couldn't be better.

01:24While everyone's still learning Python and React,

01:26you can literally skip all of that and go straight to building real products that can make you money.

01:30As Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has said,

01:33we're moving towards a future where the barrier between having an idea and implementing it is disappearing.

01:38This means every idea you've ever had that you thought was too technical to build can now be made a

01:42reality.

01:43Now, you might be wondering, why has Vibe Coding taken the world by storm?

01:47Well, it's because even experienced software engineers are choosing to Vibe Code instead of manually typing every line.

01:52For years, it was accepted by the tech industry that end-to-end applications would take weeks or months to

01:57build.

01:58But nowadays, programmers can come up with an idea,

02:00walk up the complete interface and functionality with AI,

02:03and then push it to production in just a few days.

02:05This completely changes the game.

02:07And right now, there's a bit of a gold rush,

02:09as most startups and established companies are joining on this Vibe Coding movement.

02:12In fact, the hardest part now is coming up with the idea,

02:15and knowing exactly what you want your app to do.

02:17I do have to mention, though, that Vibe Coding, like other areas in tech, does carry its own risks.

02:22For example, if you're looking to scale your Vibe Coded app to thousands of users,

02:26it could be prone to security flaws if you don't handle the authentication and data security carefully.

02:31If you're a non-coder, I'd recommend partnering up with a more experienced developer,

02:35especially if you're looking to build a startup or collect personal information.

02:38Okay, let's now talk about Vibe Coding tools.

02:40What can you use to Vibe Coded application?

02:42Well, you've got a few options depending on what you want to build.

02:45If you're a complete beginner, you can even get started with something like ChatGPT.

02:49Here's a cloud career quiz I Vibe Coded by just typing in my requirements.

02:53It's a single-file HTML app, but for something simple like a quiz, it gets the job done.

02:57But ChatGPT is currently limited to super basic applications like static websites and mini games.

03:03If you want to build a complete end-to-end application with features like authentication,

03:07Stripe integration, and AI-powered recommendations, you'll need a more advanced tool.

03:11What I use is this platform called Emergent, which is specifically designed to help you

03:15Vibe Code production-ready applications.

03:17You can build, test, launch, and scale all in one place.

03:21What I found really interesting is that within the first three months of launch,

03:24Emergent has become one of the fastest-growing AI startups,

03:27with over 1 million builders and over 1.5 million apps built.

03:31Pretty impressive.

03:31We're going to use it for today's tutorial because it's free to get started,

03:35and they provide you with a decent amount of credits when you sign up.

03:38But before that, let's take a look at some of the apps that other people have Vibe Coded,

03:41and then I'll walk you through how I built my own app, which is this Cloud Career Coach.

03:45Okay, so here's a few examples from the Vibe Coding community,

03:48and now I'm going to share with you some of my favourite ones.

03:51The first is this digital subscription manager.

03:54What I can do is add in my subscriptions, and then it calculates my monthly and annual expense.

03:59The second one is this cool Flappy Bird game.

04:02You can also adjust the game settings, so the gravity, obstacle gap, as well as game speed.

04:08Next, we have this AI storybook creator.

04:10I can create a new story, select the age, theme, character traits, and let's see what story it generates.

04:18Bob's Jungle Safari Adventure.

04:20Pretty cool.

04:21And finally, we have this AI goal coach, which is actually where I got my Cloud Career Coach idea from.

04:26You can enter your next big goal.

04:28So, for example, get fit, add goal, and then click on get AI guidance.

04:34Cool, so it provides you with some action steps and helpful resources.

04:38This is a pretty cool way to keep track of your goals.

04:40Now, let me show you the Cloud Career Coach I Vibe Coded, and how you can create one for yourself.

04:45First, let me show you what it looks like.

04:47So, 10x your Cloud Career with AI guidance.

04:51Let's start a free assessment.

04:53It's going to ask you to sign in or sign up.

04:56I'm going to create a new account.

04:58So, I'll type in my full name, email, and password.

05:01Nice.

05:01So, I can sign in now.

05:03And here's the interface when I log in.

05:05I'm going to click on start assessment.

05:07And for example, let's say I'm a student.

05:10My level of experience is beginner.

05:13Current skills, AWS Azure.

05:15And then I'll type in my career goals.

05:17So, for example, I want to become a solutions architect.

05:22Focused on security.

05:24Click on complete assessment.

05:26And there you go.

05:27It's updated my profile.

05:29There's a career roadmap, as well as some next steps that I could take.

05:32What I also have in this Cloud Career Coach is a motivation section.

05:36There's a career tip.

05:38There's a quote of the day.

05:39As well as some additional tips on how to form good daily habits and some weekly goals that you can

05:44complete.

05:44The third part to this Cloud Career Coach is premium study plans.

05:48There's a monthly and yearly option.

05:50And if I click upgrade to monthly, it directs me to Stripe.

05:54So, users can enter their bank details and make a purchase.

05:57Okay, now that you've seen what my app looks like, let me walk you through how I was able to

06:01vibe code it.

06:02And honestly, the secret to vibe coding is having really clear prompts.

06:05If we zoom in to the left-hand side, this is the prompt that I entered.

06:09Build a Cloud Career Coach app to help cloud professionals 10x their productivity.

06:14I've listed the core features, including a motivation engine, daily motivational quotes, premium study plans.

06:20I've also added the technical requirements, as well as the user flow.

06:25I actually didn't manually type all of this myself.

06:27I explained to ChatGPT exactly what I wanted, and it was able to come up with this for me.

06:32And the reason I do that is just so that I can polish up the prompt a bit more.

06:36So, once I typed in this fairly long prompt, you can see that the agent gets to work, and it

06:41asks me a few follow-up questions.

06:43So, key clarifications needed.

06:45And I pretty much just left it to the AI to decide what was best for me.

06:49And in just under 10 minutes, I was given this app.

06:51Now, as you can see, this is a full end-to-end app.

06:54So, what I'm going to show you now is how to deploy it.

06:57And it's actually very simple.

06:58I just need to click on Save to GitHub, select a repo, so let's say YouTube, and push to a

07:05new branch.

07:07So, Cloud, Career, Coach.

07:11And then I'll click on Push to GitHub.

07:13Nice.

07:13Okay, so if I view on GitHub, the project is now in my account.

07:18I can also choose to fork my project, which is great for testing and spending less tokens.

07:23Forking the session also helps you preserve context and also refresh memory.

07:27Anyways, now that I've saved the project onto GitHub, I can click on Deploy and then start a new deployment.

07:34And deploying a project will charge you 50 credits a month.

07:37Cool, so I've clicked on Deploy and the deployment is now in progress.

07:40While that runs, let me show you how credits work and also the pricing of Emergent.

07:45So, as I mentioned earlier, Emergent is free to get started with.

07:48But if you'd like additional credits, here are a few options available.

07:51I've actually upgraded to the Pro tier, mainly because of how much vibe coding I do.

07:56But you can get a standard $17 a month one and it gives you 100 credits every month.

08:01In fact, I believe in the future of vibe coding so much that I've even migrated my own website, Zero2Cloud,

08:06to Emergent.

08:07So, everything you see here was completely vibe coded.

08:10I didn't have to write a single line of code.

08:12And to give you an idea of how much it cost, it consumed around $100 worth of credits.

08:17Which, in my opinion, is a pretty good deal.

08:20And in the future, I can easily add on more AI-powered features onto my website.

08:24So, now that you know how to vibe code, let's go through some important best practices that you need to

08:28know.

08:29The first is learning how to prompt the right way.

08:31I recommend checking out this guide by Emergent on crafting effective prompts.

08:34You can see here that you can follow a simple framework where you can specify the business goal, core features,

08:40target users, and success criteria.

08:42Next, remember that version control is critical.

08:44Always use Git or GitHub to save your progress regularly.

08:47When something breaks, you can always roll back to a working version instead of starting over.

08:51And thirdly, try to understand your code.

08:53Don't just accept what the AI gives you.

08:55You can ask it to explain how things work and also add comments to the code.

08:58This will make it a lot easier for you to troubleshoot if anything goes wrong in production.

09:02Last but not least, keep security front of mind.

09:05Make sure you explicitly tell the AI to include security measures and add the right amount of protection in place

09:10before you scale your application to the public.

09:12Alright, on to the part you've all been waiting for.

09:14How can you make money with vibe coding?

09:16Well, the cloud career coach I shared earlier was one example.

09:19Pretty much building something with a free version and then charging for its premium features.

09:23But let me share with you some real examples of people who are actually making money with vibe coding right

09:27now.

09:28First, there's Peter Levels, a game developer who launched a fully functioning game he vibe coded, earning $1 million in

09:34annual recurring revenue in just 17 days.

09:37And here's an interesting opportunity if you're a technical developer.

09:40There are now dozens of freelancers on platforms like Fiverr who are making money by fixing other people's vibe coded

09:46projects.

09:46But yeah, pretty much all you need is an idea in any niche and a solid business model.

09:51Alright, this brings us to the end of this video.

09:53Let me know your thoughts on vibe coding in the comments below and I'll see you in the next one.

09:56Bye for now!
