Blueprints — Pedro Lopez

Each blueprint combines several concept pages into a practical route. Evidence strength says how many independent guests back it; where a step rests on one person, the blueprint says so.

#	Blueprint	Evidence	What it gets you
B01	Consumer subscription app — clone, onboard, paywall, content, scale	strong	The channel’s most-repeated app playbook — copy a category that already earns, design the marketing hook first, build fast, convert with a long onboarding and a hard paywall, then grow with short-form content, UGC creators and paid amplification — for solo founders and small teams building subscription apps.
B02	SEO + free-tools SaaS — rank for intent, give away tools, compound	medium	How bootstrapped micro-SaaS founders on the channel grow without ads or an audience — pick a narrow product and low-difficulty, high-intent keywords, build free tools and comparison pages that feed the paid product, add programmatic pages, and wait six to eight months for search to compound — with lifetime deals and launches as an optional early boost.
B03	Validate before you build	strong	A nine-step route from idea to evidence of demand, drawn from over a hundred founder interviews, for anyone about to spend weeks or months building something nobody has yet paid for.
B04	Job → side project → quit	medium	How guests built a business around a full-time job, decided when to leave, and survived the first months after quitting, for employed people who want to start without betting their income on day one.
B05	Services → productised → product	medium	How guests turned a sellable skill into client income, packaged it at a fixed price, and used the cash, the clients and the clients’ problems to build software — for anyone with a skill and little capital.
B06	AI product with a moat	strong	How guests built AI apps and AI SaaS that survived copycats, free ChatGPT and inference bills — pick one sharp use, go beyond a thin wrapper, win on distribution, and price around the model’s cost.
B07	Portfolio, app flipping & selling	weak	How indie builders on the channel ship many small apps, keep the few that work and sell some of them, with the focus camp’s warnings and the thin case for buying instead of building.
B08	Build in public / personal brand → product	medium	How founders on the channel build an audience by posting their work, let that audience tell them what to build, and sell it to them, with the dissenters and the commercial interests behind the loudest advice.
B09	Founder operating system — routines, deep work and avoiding burnout	strong	How Starter Story founders say they organise their days and weeks — a protected build block, one or two priorities, exercise and a hard stop, systems that remove the founder as bottleneck, and focus on one thing — plus the burnout stories that shaped these habits.
B10	Non-technical founder — ship with AI	medium	How founders who could not code say they got a paying product out of the door — learning on a real project, designing from reference apps, planning with AI and building in micro-steps, or bringing in a technical partner — and why marketing becomes the bottleneck once building is easy.
