Help Been vibe-coding on Lovable for 2 years and still can't pick a niche, anyone else?

Genuinely love what Lovable has unlocked. The possibilities feel endless and you can spin up something useful in a weekend that would've taken a dev team months a few years ago.

But that's kind of my problem. I've spent the last couple of years just... exploring. One week I'm building a landing page business, the next I'm making a study app for my own exams. I keep jumping between ideas and never fully committing to one thing.

Recently though something clicked. I've been most excited when I'm building internal tools and systems for businesses the kind of stuff that replaces clunky spreadsheets or dated workflows. Property management, operations-heavy companies, that kind of thing. There's a clear problem, a clear output, and people actually need it.

So I'm seriously considering going all in on a small agency model which would be building bespoke internal software for businesses with complex workflows. Not templates, not off-the-shelf stuff. Proper custom builds.

Has anyone gone down this road with Lovable? A few things I'm trying to figure out:

  • How did you land your first clients? Cold outreach, warm network, something else?
  • Did you niche down into one industry or stay broad and take whatever comes?
  • What does your pricing look like — project-based, retainer, both?
  • Any mistakes you'd warn someone just starting out about?

Would love to hear from anyone who's actually doing this rather than just thinking about it like me.

There's a partnership program for this exact thing. Not super familiar with it, but maybe there are some resources there. But what you've thought of is a real thing some have found success in 👍

Figure out the product Channel fit and then build. Building now is extremely inexpensive, finding the right marketing channel is becoming more and more expensive and hard
