0:00Hey future millionaires. I want to show
0:01you guys a website that I just found
0:03today that literally looks so simple at
0:04first glance, but it's making insane
0:06money and they're not even selling any
0:08products. I also found out that these
0:10types of websites are making around $1
0:12million every single year and literally
0:14no one talks about it. And I would have
0:16never brought this up to you guys
0:17before, but because of the power of AI,
0:19it has never been easier to create our
0:21own type of website like this for
0:23ourselves. So in this video I'm going to
0:25break down exactly how you can do that.
0:27I'm going to show you how these websites
0:28are making money, how they grow using
0:31organic traffic, and then I'm going to
0:32show you step-by-step how I built a
0:34similar one just like this. [music]
0:36Obviously, this is not a guaranteed
0:38income type of video. Like everyone has
0:41different kinds of results with this. I
0:42just want you guys to understand what is
0:44possible when you understand the
0:46business mindset behind these types of
0:48platforms and how accessible it is for
0:50the average person like you and I to
0:52create something like this. So let's do
0:55this. So the websites that I'm using as
0:57examples today are these: dupe.com and
1:01fetchfashion.ai.
1:03They basically do the same simple task
1:06for users. They help people find dupes
1:09of their favorite products just by them
1:11putting in a link or uploading a photo.
1:13And there are versions of these sites
1:15that specialize in furniture, clothing,
1:18and so many more depending on like how
1:20the site is branded. It's doing a simple
1:22job, solving a simple problem, and
1:25providing value. But how do these sites
1:28actually make money? The main way that a
1:31website like this makes money is through
1:33affiliate marketing. And this business
1:35model really is so smart because the
1:37website isn't even having to create a
1:39store, manufacture anything, or ship any
1:42of the products that you see. All it's
1:44doing is sending people to another
1:46retailer that already want to buy
1:48something using affiliate links. So
1:51let's just say I search for a $4,000
1:53couch and the website shows me a a one
1:55for 800. I just click shop now and it
1:58sends me straight to the retailer. And
2:00if I make a purchase on that site, the
2:03dupe website, the owner of these
2:05websites earn a commission for referring
2:07that customer. These websites are just
2:09making money by referring people to what
2:12they're already wanting to buy. Just
2:13helping them find a better price at it.
2:15And that's what's interesting about this
2:17type of affiliate marketing website is
2:18people, like I said, they're already
2:20ready to buy. They're already looking
2:21for it. They're already about to buy the
2:23more expensive one and they just go on
2:24this website to get a cheaper one. It's
2:26not just like trying to find somebody
2:27random and and show you why you need it.
2:29It's already buyers ready to buy. There
2:31are tons of retailers and affiliate
2:34networks that allow people to do this
2:37and they encourage it as well because
2:38that's how they're getting sales is from
2:40websites like this. And obviously, some
2:42websites will give you, you know, 20%
2:44commission, some will give you 10%
2:46commission. They have like a bunch of
2:47different programs, but obviously, this
2:50can be very profitable. And obviously,
2:52affiliate marketing is not the only way
2:53to make money with a website like this.
2:55You can also make money just through
2:56like ads on the actual page itself. So,
2:58people that are using this free tool,
3:00they're also, you know, you can throw
3:02ads on this as well across the page and
3:06you also can get paid just for views on
3:08these websites. So, you potentially have
3:10two different ways that you can monetize
3:12with one simple website doing a simple
3:15job through the affiliate commissions
3:17when shoppers shop through the links and
3:19through the display ads. So, let's just
3:22say that this website like dupe.com is
3:24getting around 2.3 million visitors
3:26every single month. Instead of making
3:28money from ads, this business model here
3:30is just straight affiliate marketing.
3:32Like they don't even care about the
3:33display ads, even though they could have
3:34them. So, let's just do some very simple
3:36hypothetical math here. If 2.3 million
3:39people are on this website and just five
3:41of them end up purchasing something
3:42through an affiliate link, that's around
3:44115,000
3:46purchases every single month. And even
3:48if the website average just $3 in
3:50affiliate commission per purchase. That
3:53would be around $345,000
3:56every single month in potential
3:58affiliate commissions. Now, obviously,
4:00we don't know exactly how much this
4:02website is making. We don't know their
4:04conversion rate. We don't know exactly
4:06what percentages they're getting. But,
4:08the whole point here is you don't need
4:09millions of viewers to actually make
4:11money with this. Especially because a
4:13lot of the traffic that these websites
4:15get are free traffic. And a lot of these
4:17people are just Googling for these
4:19websites already. So, they're already
4:20searching for these websites. And I'll
4:22talk more strategies at the end of this
4:23video of how to actually get users to
4:25the website. But, for now, we need a
4:27website like this first before we can
4:29start bringing traffic to it. So, first,
4:31let me show you how easy it is to
4:33actually build your own type of platform
4:36like this using the power of AI. So, let
4:39me show you how I built my own type of
4:41version of these types of websites using
4:44this AI tool, which is called Abacus AI
4:46Agent. I'll put the link for this tool
4:48down in my description box below. Once
4:50you click that link, it will bring you
4:51to this page. And before we start
4:54building, I want to just explain like
4:56why we are using this one versus other
4:59ones. This platform is actually an
5:01all-in-one cloud platform where you can
5:03build, host, and get your real software
5:05out there just by describing what you
5:07want in plain old English.
5:11>> [laughter]
5:11>> You don't need to know how to code. You
5:13don't need to know how to manually set
5:15up anything techy. All you have to do is
5:17just focus on the idea of it, which is
5:18what I love to do. And the AI helps you
5:20with the technical side of things. You
5:22have complete built-in databases and
5:25storage that can be created and managed
5:27right here inside this platform. There
5:29are so many different AI models
5:30available in this one place, so you have
5:33the flexibility to use different models
5:34for different jobs. This will make more
5:36sense as I build it, so let's go. So,
5:38first thing we're going to do is inside
5:40Abacus AI Agent, we're going to use the
5:43Fable in Max mode. The Max mode is
5:46designed for more complex end-to-end
5:48builds that can really just do like
5:50multiple layers of the project. So, and
5:52again, like don't let this like word
5:54complex scare you. I'm sure I'm telling
5:56you it's very straightforward. Like I
5:58would not have been able to do this 5
5:59years ago, but now we can. So, because
6:01our part is in actually like really
6:03simple, I'm just going to describe what
6:05I want. So, let's go ahead and just
6:07describe what we want here, and Fable
6:11can ask me a few clarifying questions,
6:13and then the agent can help me plan it,
6:17and then code it, test it, debug it, and
6:20helps us get the finished website
6:22completely live. It works on the front
6:24end of your website, the back end of the
6:27website, the database and hosting
6:29instead of only just like designing what
6:31it looks like from the outside. Cuz
6:32maybe there's a lot of like internal
6:34stuff that needs to be done as well.
6:35Fable can help figure out how to
6:38actually make it all work together. And
6:40here's the exact prompt that I'm going
6:42to use. So, let's go ahead and just type
6:44this out together. Build me a modern,
6:47AI-powered product dupe finder called
6:49Find My Dupe. Users should be able to
6:52paste the URL of an expensive product
6:55they like, and the app should be able to
6:57help them discover visually similar
6:59alternatives
7:01at lower price points.
7:03Create a clean, modern homepage with a
7:05large search box that says paste a
7:08product link. Display the original
7:10product and then show similar
7:12alternatives with a product image,
7:13retailer, price, estimated savings, and
7:16a shop this dupe button. Add filters for
7:19category, maximum price, and minimum
7:22savings.
7:24Include categories for furniture,
7:25fashion, handbags, shoes, accessories,
7:27and home decor.
7:29Make the website visually polished,
7:31extremely easy to use, responsive, and
7:33structured with SEO best practices in
7:36mind. That's the Google search.
7:38Create a front end, back end, and
7:40database needed for the application,
7:42test core functionality, and prepare
7:45everything for public deployment. Then,
7:48I just hit submit and immediately Fable
7:52starts working. And instead of it just
7:54like instantly giving me a random
7:56website, it can actually ask me
7:57clarifying questions about what I'm
7:59trying to create. So, maybe it asks like
8:01how I want the products displayed, how
8:03the search should work, or how I want
8:05certain features handled. So, I'm just
8:07going to like answer all these
8:09and then the Fable starts actually
8:11building. Now, you guys can see it's
8:12planning out the application, creating
8:14the files, building the front-end,
8:16working on the back-end, creating the
8:18database structure that we need, testing
8:20functionality, and if something's not
8:22working correctly, it literally debugs
8:24the problem and continues. Like, it's so
8:26crazy. I'm not like sitting here writing
8:28all the code myself. I'm not having to
8:29pay an expensive developer. Like, I
8:32literally just described what I wanted
8:34and it's literally helping me turn that
8:37into a real software. So, after it
8:39finishes working, let's go ahead and see
8:41what it created. And look at this, you
8:44guys. We already have the first version
8:46of Find My Dupe. We have our homepage,
8:50our product search, our different
8:51shopping categories, our filters, our
8:54product result cards, and our Shop This
8:57Dupe buttons. But, the most important
8:59thing that we do is we don't just like
9:00want a beautiful website. We want to
9:01make sure this actually works. So, let's
9:04go ahead and test it. So, I'm going to
9:05take this expensive chair link and let's
9:09just copy and paste the link. So, here's
9:11what it's currently selling for on this
9:12website. So, let's go ahead and let's
9:14copy this link.
9:16Let's go back to our Find My Dupe,
9:18paste it into our search, and click on
9:21this, and look at this. Here is our
9:24original product, but underneath we're
9:26getting similar alternatives at
9:28different price points. We literally did
9:30it. Well, AI did it, but we told it what
9:32to do, and it did it. So, it's really
9:35crazy. Our app is literally showing how
9:37much cheaper each option is compared to
9:39with the original. So, let's just say my
9:41budget is only a thousand dollars, I can
9:42change the maximum price here. So,
9:44literally gave us that filter. And our
9:46results update. That is exactly what I
9:49wanted. So, you guys can see like the
9:51first version looks really good, but
9:52just like any other app, like if you
9:54want to add something to it or improve
9:55it, you don't have to dig through like
9:57the source code and find that yourself.
9:59We are able to just simply tell Fable
10:02what I want. So, I'm going to go back
10:04and say keep everything as is, but make
10:07the results page feel more premium and
10:09useful. Make the product images larger,
10:12display the percentage saved more
10:14predominantly, add a heart button so
10:16users can save products, and add a best
10:18match section that highlights the
10:21strongest overall dupe.
10:23Make sure saved products persist
10:25correctly in the database, and test the
10:27feature before finishing. Then, I just
10:30hit submit. And you guys can see it's
10:32making the changes now. So, now we can
10:34see a best match, the percentage we're
10:36saving, larger product images,
10:38favorites, and a much cleaner shopping
10:40experience. Another thing I want to say
10:42guys is like obviously this type of
10:44website is like so simple. I wanted to
10:46pick something to show you guys that was
10:47like pretty simple, not something like
10:49too overwhelming, especially if you've
10:51never like built a website like this
10:52before, especially with AI. So, one
10:54thing that I do want to say is this
10:56Abacus AI agent goes way beyond what
10:58we're actually building today. Because
11:00of its databases and storage
11:02capabilities, like you can do so much
11:03more with this. For example, if you
11:05wanted to like connect like outside
11:08services or resources, you can build all
11:10of this in the back end. And if you're
11:12already like more advanced to like
11:13technology of this I mean this type of
11:15technology, Abacus AI supercomputer also
11:19can work with GitHub, AWS, and SSH also.
11:24You also have so many different AI
11:25models available inside this ecosystem,
11:27so you're not just forced to use one
11:29provider or one model for everything.
11:31You could potentially use one model for
11:33one task and another model for something
11:35completely different. So, if you start
11:37with something as simple as the app that
11:38we're building today, you can scale it
11:40into something much larger. For example,
11:43like this is some other cool stuff that
11:45I've seen people build that I like
11:46researched into that they've used like
11:49this platform to build. So, for example,
11:51like people have literally made 3D
11:53playable games with this. Like look at
11:55this one, it's called 3D Castle and I
11:58mean look at the like look at the
11:59lighting, the fog, the torches, like
12:02rooms you can explore. Like it's just
12:03like so crazy. So, like you can make a
12:05whole game with this.
12:06There's like AI trading strategy labs.
12:08So, if you were somebody that does
12:10trading and like you wanted to build out
12:12like your own trading platform, it can
12:14do that as well. So, I thought this
12:15looked really cool. And it even like
12:17shows metrics like return, drawdown, win
12:20rate, and like the ratios. And just like
12:23tons of just different stuff here.
12:25People have even like built their own
12:26YouTube platforms. Like you can
12:28literally make your own like TV platform
12:30with these as well. You can also like
12:32build your own social media platform.
12:34Like if you're wanting to like take on
12:35Facebook or like
12:37Instagram or TikTok, make your own
12:38version of it. People have done that as
12:40well here. Like you can literally have a
12:42live feed. You can see online, make a
12:44real-time social platform. Like and you
12:46can even make like a platform that
12:48allows one-on-one video calls. Like it's
12:50actually insane like what people are
12:52doing with this platform. And really
12:54quick you guys, let me just show you how
12:55to make this go live. So, let's just go
12:57back to our website that we made. Once
13:00the app looks like how we want it, we're
13:02ready to actually put it online. And
13:04this is another really important part of
13:07this is like it doesn't just help you
13:08generate the software, it actually helps
13:10you run and host what you made. So, when
13:13we're ready, we're going to just use the
13:15one-click public deployment to deploy
13:18our project to a live URL. Just your
13:22link, your website link. So, here is our
13:24website link. We're going to go ahead
13:26and deploy it. And once that is
13:28finished, we have our public URL, like I
13:31said, got that done, and now you guys
13:34can see it is live on the internet,
13:36which is so crazy. But again, I don't
13:39want to just assume that it works
13:40because it's out there. Let's just test
13:42it one more time. I'm going to paste our
13:44product and there it is. We got it
13:48working, guys. It's live, it's working,
13:50it's out there.
13:52Publicly accessible application. Now,
13:55obviously, like if you're turning this
13:56into an actual business, like you would
13:58want you to have like your own domain
14:00with this for sure. So, I would also
14:02obviously want this to be my own domain.
14:04So, you would want to come up with
14:06something short, punchy, um like we
14:09already kind of have our name, but
14:11you'll want to just get your own domain
14:13just so it looks more legitimate. And
14:15then once you have that set up, you can
14:16connect it to your website, and then
14:18you'll have your own custom domain
14:19through there. And you can do this all
14:21within this platform, obviously. Okay,
14:23so now that we know that it's working,
14:24we need to make sure that the affiliate
14:25marketing stuff is going to work as
14:27well. So, we need to make sure that the
14:29affiliate marketing deals are in our
14:31website. If they are not, then we're not
14:33going to be able to monetize this. So,
14:35let me show you guys how to do that. So,
14:36we are going to find all the retailers
14:39that are offering affiliate marketing
14:41opportunities for us and programs that
14:43we want to participate in. And once our
14:45website actually gets going, like people
14:46will be reached out to us a lot, stores
14:48will be reaching out to us a lot. Um but
14:51we want to make sure that we actually go
14:53out and like hook everything up. So, one
14:55website that I really do love is called
14:56Impact. You can just type in impact.com
14:59and create a free account. This will
15:01connect you with brands and affiliate
15:03deals, and you get to actually see like
15:04an entire network of all the affiliate
15:07deals available to you. Then, once you
15:09get approved for each one, which is a
15:11lot of times instant, you're able to add
15:14these affiliate links onto your
15:16database. So, go back in, and on screen,
15:20I'm just going to say, "Add affiliate
15:22link support to the product database.
15:24Each product should have a normal
15:25retailer URL and an optional affiliate
15:28URL.
15:29If an affiliate URL exists, the shop
15:32this dude button should use that URL.
15:34Otherwise, it should use the normal
15:36retailer URL. Create a private admin
15:39area where I can add or update affiliate
15:41links without changing the public
15:43website. Do not fabricate affiliate
15:45links, only use URLs I provide." Then
15:48just hit submit.
15:50And once Fable finishes, now we have a
15:52way to actually manage the monetization
15:54behind our recommendations. So then when
15:57somebody clicks the shop this dude
15:59button, they're going to be sent to the
16:00retailer using the appropriate link that
16:02we've added. And if that person makes a
16:04qualifying purchase, we're going to get
16:06the affiliate commission according to
16:07that affiliate program specifically. So
16:10it's going to take you really like a day
16:11to go through all as many affiliate
16:13commission things as you can, and then
16:15obviously you're going to be able to see
16:16data as well that can help you like if
16:18someone's looking for a specific thing,
16:20you're like, "Okay, let me like make
16:20sure I go get that cuz that's like
16:22obviously being searched for." You can
16:24add it all through here. And it just set
16:26up an entire system that we can use that
16:29with. And like I said to you with the
16:31display ads, you can also apply this
16:33website to Google AdSense, and you can
16:36do that just by going to
16:37adsense.google.com,
16:39creating an account through there,
16:40signing in, showing them your website.
16:42Once you are verified, it will give you
16:44a code snippet and tells you to place it
16:46inside like a specific part of your
16:47site. Once you do that, we can go right
16:50back into Fable and just tell it this
16:52prompt right here. I'll leave it on the
16:54screen for you guys. And then after you
16:56give it this prompt, it'll put that
16:57exact code that Google gives you there.
17:00And then once you're done with that, you
17:02can then have display ads on this
17:04website
17:05and make money doing that as well. So
17:07everyone that views it, even if they
17:09don't like even use it, if they even
17:11just click on your website, you are
17:12getting paid. Now a lot of people rely
17:14on just like Google traffic to grow
17:17their software companies, right? I
17:20don't.
17:20>> [laughter]
17:21>> I don't like to rely on it, to be
17:23honest. Like I Sure, you can, but if you
17:27are like hungry to like make a lot of
17:29money and grow this business really
17:31fast, you shouldn't just rely on Google
17:34like people looking for it on Google.
17:36Why should you when you can literally
17:38get free organic traffic from social
17:40media? I started my accounts with
17:42literally zero followers, not even
17:44showing my face. I feel like the best
17:46most successful software companies out
17:48there are literally faceless accounts.
17:50Like I've seen so many Instagram
17:52accounts that like promote their
17:53software and they do such an amazing
17:56job. I'll put a few on the screen for
17:58you guys of that, but you could even,
18:01you know, if you wanted to like invest
18:02in this software company, hire UGC
18:04content creators, do different things,
18:07and really just go all in and just like
18:09promoting it yourself and like burning
18:11people to it. I see it all day long on
18:13TikTok, Instagram, etc. completely
18:15faceless. And remember too, is this is
18:17something sellable. As you grow this, if
18:19you something like you don't want to
18:20deal with anymore, you can sell it for
18:21so much money. That's why you see people
18:24getting into software companies
18:25nowadays, creating simple platforms like
18:27this, and then selling them for millions
18:29of dollars. Like it's actually so crazy
18:32like that entire like side of that
18:33industry just because it's never been
18:37seen before and it's just it's just so
18:39interesting to me cuz it's such like a
18:40faceless concept which I love, you guys
18:42love. And it's something that like
18:44genuinely anybody can do. It's just the
18:45idea behind it and AI just allows us to
18:48do it so much easier than ever before.
18:51So use ChatGPT, use Claude AI to come up
18:53with ideas. Scroll on Instagram, TikTok,
18:56see what people are having problems with
18:58and come up with your own ideas of
19:00different ways that you can serve others
19:03with different websites that you can
19:04create using platforms like this. And
19:07obviously this isn't like about like
19:08looking for somebody and trying to copy
19:10somebody. I mean obviously a lot of
19:12people will see what someone else is
19:13doing and just do it better. I mean,
19:15that's business.
19:16But, this is really just about
19:18understanding like how simple websites
19:20can just serve a specific value and blow
19:24up and just make so much money. It's so
19:25crazy. You already know my YouTube
