The challenge
21 days: a non-coder in Vietnam builds and sells a digital product with Claude, in public.
I did a 21-day challenge once before, learning Claude Code. I kept a notebook of every mistake I made. There were 32. I finished anyway.
This one is harder. Last time I only had to learn. This time a stranger has to pay me.
The goals
- A checkout page that takes real money
- 50 people on my email list
- 1 sale to someone I've never met
- 6 guides and 3 weekly reports on this site
If I miss, I'll say so here. Same page, same size font.
The rules
- One hour a day. I have a job.
- Claude writes the code. I make the calls and check the work.
- No switching the idea or the tools halfway. New ideas go in a notebook until day 21.
- A report every Sunday, with the numbers.
- Ads only if I've earned them. Max $30, and only after 20 people join the list on their own and the signup page converts at 20% or better.
The money so far
| What | Cost |
|---|---|
| Domain (nghiathanhvo.com, 1 year) | $11.48 |
| Email tool (Systeme.io, free plan) | $0 |
| Hosting (Cloudflare Pages) | $0 |
| Ads | $0 of $30 max |
| Total | $11.48 |
Why do it in public
I got the idea from Scott DeLong. He ran a one-year challenge on his own site and wrote up every week, the wins and the misses. Mine is a lot smaller.
Nobody knows who I am, so I can't ask you to trust me. I'd rather just show you.
Reports
No reports yet. Day 0 goes up here when the challenge starts. Week 1 comes out the Sunday after.
