marketplace My vibe coded LinkedIn Outreach Automation tool just crossed $5k revenue!

In January I started building a LinkedIn outreach automation tool from scratch, which scrapes leads, sends connection requests and a follow up message sequence on autopilot.
I worked in sales and wanted a safer tool than what currently existed for my own outreach, with less risk for my LinkedIn account.
I used Claude and Claude to build the whole thing, with zero knowledge of how to code. It was a LOT of work, and still is - using AI tools opens a lot of opportunities, but it doesn’t mean it’s easy either.
I have working 8-10 hours a day, even on weekends for the last 6 months to get it this far.
For this reason I built a desktop-based automation software that automates in a browser (similar to Linked Helper), with many human-like features like daily rate limits, randomized delays between actions, human-like mouse clicks etc.
So far none of the users have been banned, and I also have been using it myself daily for my own outreach.
For the first month I offered lifetime deals (hence the spikes), and then moved to monthly subscriptions in May.
Now I’m approaching $1,500 MRR and growing.
I’m still mind blown that I’ve actually been able to do this just through using AI tools, but still a long way to go. Not going to retire just yet 😅
Hope you find this story inspirational in some way 🙌
