The Startup Ideas Podcast - Stole an Idea, Built It in 12 Hours, Sold for $15K in 8 Days (Exact Playbook)

Episode Date: July 25, 2025

Join me as I chat with Josh Pigford, who took an idea from Idea Browser, built a tool called NameSnag for finding expired domains, and sold it for $15,000 within eight days. The conversation explores Josh's rapid development process, including how he leveraged AI tools like Claude for naming and coding, created branding, and used Twitter to build momentum and find customers. Josh emphasizes the importance of shipping quickly rather than aiming for perfection.

Today we've got Josh on the podcast. He's going to tell the story of how he vibe-coded an idea he got from ideabrowser.com and then sold it in eight days for $15,000. It was a roller coaster journey. And the reason I wanted to have him on the pod is I want him to teach you how you could do the same. And I just thought it was a really interesting story of how someone could take something from zero to one and this whole age of ideas. With AI, enjoy the episode. Josh, welcome to the pod and I can't wait to hear what you have to say.

Thanks for having me on, Greg. I'm pumped to talk shop. All right. So maybe walk us through how this whole thing happened. Because it's a crazy story. It's absurd is what it is, Greg. Like, I don't know if you're numb to it, but like, as an I was telling this to, I went for coffee this morning. I was telling this to like a barista and he was like, that's insane.

Like guy steals an idea from the internet and then like ends up like flipping it for $15,000. Like what kind of world do you people live in? That's right. Yeah. Yes, what world do we live in? Like there's, yes, we're in some sort of weird unicorn bubble. I feel like this entire story can be told in tweets. And so that's sort of what we're going.

I'm going to attempt to do here. You posted on what day was this? July 14th. This is 10 days ago. You tweet about an AI agent that finds expired.com domains. So I did not see this tweet initially. However, someone who follows me did. They just tagged me with some, you know, with an emoji.

And then I replied that I had plans this week because I saw that tweet and I knew that it was going to eat at me. And then I tweet, let's see, where is it? Oh, that I'm building this. Yeah. So this is what the next day. Which, by the way, you know, you know what you did here. I don't think a lot of people realize it is you committed. You made yourself on the hook for doing it. Right? You publicly said I'm doing this thing. Yeah. I, that's, that's my addiction to Twitter. So I just have to like it's a, that's great content, right? Like if I, if I say I'm posting about it. So, like, my previous startup was called Bear Metrics, like a business analytics platform. I sold it back in 2020.

But, like, in 2013, I think, I had a very similar tweet where the Stripe had just started. Like, they were still at really early days. Nobody had really built anything on their API other than just, like, integrating it for payments. But as far as, like, apps built on top of Stripe, nobody else had really done anything. So like I made a tweet that said something like Sass or like Stripe Analytics company. I'm building it tonight like coffee brewed. This was like at like 7 p.m. or something. And that was the kind of thing like I, you know, over the course of about two weeks or something,

I built this tool that ended up like I sold for like millions of dollars back in 2020. but that resulted in this or it started at the impetus for it was this tweet that I made and so like I find myself doing that a lot habitually where like if I think of something I'll tweet about it and then like that just brings up you know first customers a lot of times come from these kind of tweets like it's self-serving to some extent and it does it does provide a little bit of accountability

but yeah so like the next morning at 8.50, I tweeted about it. However, I had been up since I typically get up around like 4.30 or 5 in the morning. And I had been working on it already at that point, like a few hours. And so that was, but that was 24 hours later. I tweeted from your tweet. I committed to it, basically. And then I just kept tweeting about it in a thread.

And then by, let's see what time was this? 7 p.m. that same day, it was live. So that was sort of like from your idea to the time that I actually launched it was like less than 36 hours, I think. People are going to want to know how you actually did that. Yeah. So the nitty gritty of like pulling that off.

There's so many things here, right? Like you see it in the in the thread here. talking about buying domains. Like I first got the dot AI. That was available for namesnack. Now, um, actually, this will be great. So let's see if I can. Okay. So in Claude, um, finding names for stuff is just maddening. Um, specifically when it comes to finding domains that are available. So what I've been doing is I have, um, who is MCP, um, which we can talk about that if you want to that's really getting into the weeds that will check the availability of domains right here in cloud chat but let me give you an example so um what i did

before i even figured out names now was like i have to figure out the name of something because if i can't if i can't like name the folder i'm going to put this stuff in or like when i'm generating code i don't i can't reference the product like if i don't have a name for it it will drive me crazy so but the very first thing I do is name the thing. Now, started doing this thing a couple weeks ago where I'll be like, I need to name an app that helps people. Find expired domain names.

Come up with words related to find or snipe, was I think one word or acquire related to domains. So it comes up with 20 ideas here. Just right out of the gate, fine. And then it should hit that who is. Yeah.

So now it starts going through using that MCP to see what's available. So I just did this for, I don't know, 30 minutes or an hour or something where it does all this. It'll go through. all 20 of them and then at the end it might be like I couldn't find anything or there's here are the three dot AIs there were no dot coms and I'll just say 20 more 50 more whatever and I'll do this until I've got

200 random things and because it's all within the conversation of Claude it every time it will basically summarize like okay after all this here are all the dot coms that are available here are, here's the dot coms and the dot AIs that are available. Like it'll just summarize it. It keeps summarizing it for me and it'll even give its opinion, you know, on like, what's, what's available. What's probably, you know, what's your best bet? Like, what's the best pick out of all these from a naming perspective, which. People often tell me like, they're, you know, they're always like the dot com's not available.

The dot AIs not available. Like all the good domains are thousands of dollars. And it's just not, it's, it's not true. Like there is, there are available domains that are snappy and catchy that you could get for tens of dollars. Right. And my first reaction to when I saw your tweet, your quote tweet around, I'm building this, it's called namesnag. I was like, this is going to crush. just because of the name.

Like the name is so good that sometimes like when you have a good name to something, it kind of sets a floor for how much it's worth just because of the name and the concept. Sure. And a lot of the stuff I also have a background. I went school for design. So like I have this. I look at everything through this lens of like, oh, will this work from like a branding perspective?

or some sort of design perspective, like, oh, I hate, like, if something looks weird from, like, the way that the word looks or something, like, there's just, like, mental block for me where if, like, man, I just hate how that will probably look if I try to, you know, do a logo for that that or something. Like, you know, if, if one word ends in the letter P and the next word starts in a letter P, I know that's like, that'll be just impossible from a branding perspective or something like that. So like a lot of times I'm I'm rapidly also thinking through branding stuff as well as these things are coming up. You know, but I mean like here yeah, we found we found dot com and dot AIs that are available. So that was what I did with names nag, you know. And then but that's the thing

with the clawed stuff is like because it's got this all this context, I could literally just be like three more and it'll repeat the whole thing. And it's so easy. It's just ridiculous how easy it is to try this stuff out and to brainstorm this stuff. And get ideas. So like this is my favorite thing as of late for ideas because like I want the, the some TLD to be available, whether that's dot com. dot a.i. dot app.

Dot co. I don't know. Whatever. It doesn't matter. You can try any of that stuff. So that was what was the initial. let's see if any of those were available. Yeah.

So I don't think people are using, I call it Clode. I don't think people are using Clode like this, by the way. I haven't seen. I never, I'd really never used it until the MCP stuff. Yeah. That's really kind of what, because I'm sort of nerd out over ChatGPT and specifically like O3, that model and like the deep research stuff. Yeah.

So, but when I could start connecting this to other stuff, it's sort of like made it click for me. And obviously I use their code stuff is what I, is my weapon of choice for like actually building stuff. But yeah, the domain name, the naming stuff. Incredible. Kills it for me. Kills it. Okay. So you named it.

So let me switch back to it. You got a really good name. Step one. So, you know, yeah. So I got the dot com. and the dot a I. AI. AI was available.

I did. The dot com was like 5,000, I think. And I did, but they had a payment plan. So I was like, okay,

for whatever, I have nothing to lose here on just paying a few hundred bucks a month on this thing. And we'll see what happens. Which, by the way, a lot of people don't realize that if you find a domain

that is really incredible and is $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, a lot of people will rent the domain to you. Yeah.

Right. And a lot of these, there, it's, in this particular case, it was, it was listed on, it's Adam.com, A-T-O-M dot com. And like they, it's already built in. Like, I didn't have to go and like contact the seller or anything like that. I mean, it was essentially all automated. Which was why I was able to buy it that morning and then like buy, I could use it that evening.

You know, I wasn't having to negotiate a bunch of stuff or whatever. But if you're vibe coding something and you're trying to do something similar to this, doing something like finding a great domain, maybe leasing it, and then maybe flipping it is a really interesting way to think about it. Yeah, so it lowers sort of your risk, right? Especially if you can lease it and not even make payments towards owning it. Like, I mean, there are cases where you can, the person who owns it was just like, I'll just lease it to you, whatever.

And then whenever you're done with it, that's the end. that was still, it was 9 o'clock that morning. I got both domains that I wanted. So then I just started building. And we can talk about that in a second here, but like you'll see, so what time is this at? That was at 11.30 a.m.

I was talking about how I'd already built the backend for it. And then like a minute later, I posted this first pass at a logo. So like what I'm doing is while I'm sort of vibe coding this thing, and the AI is running in the background building this stuff. I'm an illustrator, which you know, you could be an illustrator,

Figma, camera, whatever, designing this thing. So the first thing I did, and I don't, let's see, I had this idea of like the dot.

What was sticking in my head was the idea of like these are all, you care about the, the, the TLD that you're getting, the dot com, the dot AI, whatever. So let's focus on like a dot.

So that was the, the initial impetus for this sort of like dot name snag thing. I'm a sucker for like slightly rounded typefaces. So that was that initial idea. I was kind of going with this green. Then I started thinking, well, how does this look inside an avatar, like a little square or a circle? So we need something smaller.

And then that led to like, well, what if we do something like, you know, this where, or just a slightly more interesting dot, then I cleaned that up a little bit and ended up on that. Which obviously slaps. Just obviously.

I just felt good. Yeah. And I'm, you know, and I can, blue is super cliche in the tech world, but like, whatever. Yeah. I like the blue. Now,

that, um, I posted that on Twitter. Like, here's my first pass. And there's a guy named Derek who has sort of like, whenever I post these side projects, he's like, hey man, I made a logo for you.

And then I'll be like, I'll man, that's legit. Send me a stripe in VoiceLink and I'll send you some money. So this has happened maybe like five times now where he does this and then I just give him money, unprompted. So, you know, you could just do things.

And so then he, basically sends me this, you know, which a little bit cleaner. It gets rid of the rounded stuff, which is fine. I think it feels slightly more professional to me. And so I bring the logo mark into Illustrator, this like in thing. And then that sort of where we landed was like this iteration is what made the site.

So you have really good branding. you took a first stab at it and then someone, you know, did the last mile. So I think the lesson there is, you know, these people are out there. And, you know, even if you're not a trained illustrator, like you can use tools to take a first stab and, you know, and then get someone for not an exorbitant amount of money to take something to the life. I think people tend to overthink this. And there were lots of people who are like, well, what tool are you using to design the logo, assuming that it was AI generated? Yeah.

Which is fair. And also completely valid to do. So there's no reason you can't just like ask chat GPT to make you some logo, especially in the early stages. Yeah, but you need to have an idea. You need to have some. A concept. Right. Yes.

You should, if you think, put yourself in the shoes of like an art director or something, right? or like a creative director who's like trying to give some directions. It was the same way with like, you know, in the chat there about coming up with domain ideas. Like I gave a few words that I wanted to kind of like focus in on, right? So then it can just act like a the thoris based on the wording or the tone and go from there. So like as with all things AI, the more context that you can provide it, the better it'll. Yeah. And you might, you might want to say like,

You know, I, you know, pretend, you know, this could be the prompt. Like, pretend you're a creative director. I look up to people like Josh Pigford from namesnaggin, maybe. I look up to, you know, Greg Eisenberg, late checkout ideabrowser.com. You use those, you screenshot those logos. You give it the context and then see what it pumps out. Then you have to actually, I saw this really good tweet today from Jordan Singer. and he said

here it is the new bottleneck is no longer doing the work it's reviewing the work I think that's very true so you'll review the work and then probably pass that off to someone who takes it to the last mile yeah I there's so you briefly mentioned maybe there

so like at maybe there's four of us working on that product and one of them is, I would say another engineer because I'm doing a ton of coding, but he's the actual engineer. He's the one who's actually really knows what he's doing on the engineering side. And so much of our process between he and I is, like I'll vibe code something super fast just to test out the idea or the UX behind it or whatever. and then I'll code it, then I'll push it to get.

And then he'll go in and like essentially clean up my mess. So like I'm passing off a lot of this to someone who's has a better idea of sort of like how this affects all the other parts of the code or whatever. You know, so there's a lot of this handing off that happens throughout the whole process. right even the logo here for namesnag was handed off to someone who's can can probably do a better job yeah that's right yeah okay cool so we got that and then what happened so logo um so the i'll walk i'm not going to just like cover all the tweets here but i do think this plays a part in sort of the story here so um what you see me doing here is like i post a poll about like how do we style

the domain do we do this capitalize the S, lowercase, whatever. Post a screenshot of like proof that I've actually got something working. And this entire time is me making this almost this community effort on some level.

To me, what's super interesting about social is not just constantly broadcasting, right? Like it's a, it's the interactivity part. It's me posting something and someone has an idea. Me posting something, a logo and someone responds with a different logo. You know, it's someone saying, like, I like that feature. What if you did this? And that's incredibly beneficial. Both to me as I'm sort of doing this sitting here in a box by myself,

but it's also building up a bit of hype on the product itself. So I keep yapping about it. And then get to the point where it's like, hey, we've launched. Again, that was 7 o'clock that night. Basically, it worked on it for the better part of 12 hours or so that day. But I think later that evening, like I stayed up another couple of hours and was at, I mean, we did $1,000 or something in revenue within a couple hours of launching this thing. and subscription stuff because I had just been talking about it all day, right? Like because I was posting polls and screenshots and asking for feedback on things.

I think it's more than that, in my opinion. I think it's when I zoom out, you, because I know a lot of people are going to be like, well, Josh has 50,000 followers. Of course you got $1,000 MRR in like in a few hours. but what if you look at i'm building yeah this i'm building this uh click on that click on that i just want to see how many impressions you got from that 145 000 like if you go to you know go to your twitter your twitter account like you don't normally get 145 000 oh right um you know what i mean yeah like this is a this is like a this is like a a big one and you're getting 11 000 go like to

let's see by cookies for breakfast you know you're getting in the single digit thousands of you and you got 145 times more impressions now let's break that down why did you do that what happened you jumped off a trend basically you found a tweet that was going viral right in this case it was about a startup idea yeah and you quote retweeted it and which i did not realize this like my quote retweet got you know not as much as your

as your original tweet almost almost right yeah almost so it's like yes it very much though was like jumping on to

that your your tweet that started going quasi viral yeah so that's what people don't understand about these social platforms

specifically X, too, is like, find something. You can, there's tweets going viral every day, and there's a startup idea related to, um, to that. Like I saw go to Brett from DesignJoy's Twitter. So I, I've had this guy on the pod once and here, he said, uh, click the latest tweet. So there's this app that's going viral right now. I think it's making like two, three hundred thousand dollars a day of revenue, which is crazy.

You know? And he designed it. It's called T-Dating Advice, and it's like an anonymous app to like basically score men that they go on dates with. And so it's an obviously viral idea. And he says, I'm the designer behind the mega viral T-dating app. If anyone wants to build the equivalent for men, my DMs are open. I have plenty of ideas. So there's, yes, this guy, Brett from DJ, can go build this.

But you can also quote, retweet this and be like, I'm building this. and then all of a sudden how many views this guy? He just, you know, it's gotten 55,000. Like all of a sudden you're like siphoning views and then people are following along your story and then they become your first customers. As I was posting this stuff,

there were, you know, I think there are a number of comments that talks about how like, you know, if anybody else is building this, like it's game over, Josh will like beat you to it. Knowing that I, how fast I'll build stuff. And I think that, the problem is most people overthink this stuff, right? Like, I don't have some, I have a skill set to building fast,

only, if only because I've put in the reps to know how to build stuff really fast. So here's a list of what is it, 78 projects over the past like 20 years of things that I've built. And this doesn't even, this doesn't include everything that like I built and then just shut down because I like, or I didn't completely finish it because I realized, oh, this isn't going to work. like there was a Twitter bookmark AI processing thing that like I was building got real close to finishing it. But then I realized, oh, I'm going to have to spend $50,000 a month for Twitter's API to like actually make this work. So that those things don't show up on this list here. So like there's there's 78 things here on the list, but it's it's hundreds of things where I've started something.

Right. So I'm very good at like the zero to one for most things, like just starting something. and seeing what happens. And so I've put in the reps. And there's no reason someone can't take, like go to like Idea Browser every day and just freaking build the thing. Even if you, I told this to people who like new,

say freelance designers who are like, well, how do I, how do I get clients? I don't have a portfolio. Well, just like make up stuff, man. See an idea for a company and just make a logo for it or design a website or design the app or, you know, know, do like Brett's doing where you have some idea.

And he's designed it. He didn't like build the app, but he designed it. Like you can do that. You can just do that. Right. And there's no reason you can't take something via an idea of every day on idea on idea browser and say, okay, here today, this week, I'm going to timebox myself for the week to build this thing out.

And I'm going to tweet about it constantly, annoyingly even. And eventually you'll build up a following just around that. I was talking to someone who he's, you know, 17 years old and he wants to go to business school. And I was like, what does that even mean in 2025 to go to business school? Like, what does that even mean? Like, you should go to shipping school. Right. And you should, you know, use idea browser, or just come up with ideas on your own.

Like, use chat, GPT, like, whatever it is, just get the reps in to, know how to, you know, take an idea from zero to one, all the stuff that we're talking about, you know, like to us and to you, Josh, like it's, it's intuition, but you've built it over time, right? So people need to build that intuition. Yeah. I think that there's everybody wants, and it feels, AI has made it feel like there's a shortcut. And to some extent, on some parts of it, there are. But the reason, you know, some of the questions people were asking or wanted to know from this podcast were like, what, you know, are you using some sort of like boilerplate template for a code or whatever,

which I'm not. And like a lot of that stuff is just, I just know how these things are going to work because I've done it so many times. And I haven't done it because I got paid to do it, right? Like I'm not doing this working at some company or whatever. I'm doing it because I enjoy building stuff. And so I end up getting the reps in because I'm obsessive about it. And you just do that and you talk about it. And then, you know, yes, my 50,000 followers or whatever is helpful. That's a level of distribution.

But like that came from me being on Twitter for since 2007, right? Like almost 20 years. And just tweeting constantly about stuff. not saying that you need to like 20 years to build up a following, but like you'd build up a community around the stuff that you're doing by just putting in the work. Yes, but I will say it was harder for us back in the day because we had to build followers

and then we had followers to distribute and that took a lot of hard work. Today with the four you didn't exist. Didn't exist, right? So there's people who have, Like the tweet that went, you know, I think it was like one of the most viral tweets of all time. It's like share a piece of lore. Did you see that tweet?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yes. Like go to that tweet. Absurd. Absurd. I think it got like 1.3 billion views. There it is. 1.2 billion.

Yeah. Give me a break. Like first of all, that person is getting what? Like a check for a half a million dollars. When I saw this account, I think it had 2,000 followers. followers. Followers. It was 30,000 now.

Yeah. That was not possible. That was not possible. 10 years ago. Yeah. So if I could summarize, like, my takeaway from your story is find good ideas or come up with good ideas. Figure, you know, have a positioning and brand in the market that sticks out. Bring people along for the journey.

and just keep trying to make it better. I think there's people are so afraid of putting out stuff that, you know, there's that, like, that Reid Hoffman quote about like if you've launched something that's like perfect or whatever, you've waited too late or something like that. Like waiting to ship perfect software, like you've already waited too long. Like you just have to ship stuff. And a lot of it's going to look bad. It should almost by definition should be kind of gnarly.

Because otherwise you're starting to make assumptions about what people will use, what features they want when we're talking about software. Like you just have to kind of do things and then get feedback on it. And like with namesack, there was all sorts of feedback around people saying like, well, this doesn't work or like this is a bad idea, which is fine. fine. Like, people are allowed to critique stuff. But if anything, that means, like, that's a good thing that you're getting that kind of feedback because it means people are paying attention. Before we head out, what would you have done differently in this project?

I don't know that I would have done anything different because I really, there's another tweet in here, which it would take me 10 minutes to find. But, like, um, so. I posted this. What day of the week was this on? Um, oops. July 15th was, what was that like a Wednesday or something? Um, that was a Tuesday. So that was on a Tuesday. That Thursday, I, uh, occasionally like go up, take the dog and go up to the mountain,

the cabin in the mountains and just spend a few days kind of doing whatever. Um, so like that, uh, Thursday, I went and I like spent the first couple of days just building out, I scrapped the entire first thing that I built all of the code and literally built it from scratch again on like that Thursday. So like two days later, I built version two of this thing. And I think the keeping up, like if I had not sold it, I probably would have kept that same mentality. like let's scrap it and let's build the next iteration of this. And to me that's what AI enables is this sort of rapid iteration on things where you have an idea and then you realize, here's some things that didn't work.

Okay, well, you can just build it again. Like it's not, we didn't spend six months building some complex piece of software. Spent a few hours. And I'm not tied to it. I now have learned, I've got new information, so let me just build it again. And to me, like that's one of the big takeaways is just, you know, I ship two versions of this thing in like a 48 hour period. And you can apply that to almost any side of business, including marketing, you know, growth stuff, code, whatever. You just keep building stuff really fast and don't get like tied to it, right?

It's everything's not your baby. Amen, brother. So people have asked you questions. We're going to go through three or four of those questions and answer them. Cool. Let's see. So somebody asked you about selling. So this is actually a decent topic for us to talk about here.

So they asked when I knew I should sell it or do I build to sell things? So first off, I don't typically build anything to sell it. I'd build it because I'm trying to learn something. Like that's my motivation is I'm teaching myself. some piece of code or some concept, I guess. So I don't build stuff to sell, but I do tend to assume I will not hold on to things for a long time. So this is the same reason that I can build V2 48 hours later

because I'm not so married to V1 that I've built and think that I've done something amazing. Like, if I've learned what I needed to learn from it, then like, let's move on. And that was the case for this. You know, your idea was like, you could build a $1.2 million AAR business, which is entirely possible.

I wasn't necessarily, I didn't build it because I thought that I could make $1.2 million. Right. So I sold it for like $15,000, eight days later. And it's 100% could have sold it for more. But like, I'm not, I wasn't building it to sell it.

I wasn't building it to make $1.2 million. Like, I was building it because I wanted to, learn stuff about like who is records and then the ability for AI to like process all this data and you know semantic search stuff like super nerdy things that just happened to fit this project and that struck a chord for me so I decided to build it but that's sort of my motivation is almost exclusively for learning things more than anything there's a couple of questions about like selling it or like this person here's like leave money on the table and not list it on like

Acquired.com. I think there there one idea that I have had here is like it would be kind of interesting. If I wasn't actually building a full scale sort of VC back startup also along with all these side projects is it would be kind of fun to every week pick some idea, build it out and then you just sort of sell a startup in a box. I think there's this thing. So in the past since 2023, in the past like two years, I've built all these different apps like sold for $8,000, sold for $25,000, sold for $5,000, sold for $24,000. Like I think I've probably done, I don't know, close to $100,000 over the past a couple of years,

just selling off random side projects that I built over the course of like a week. So I think that there's, if your obsession is just building stuff, you could almost make that your job. You know, like there's income to be had of just like taking an idea, building it and then selling it. I think AI allows for a lot of that stuff. And there's people who don't want to get in the weeds on the AI, but do want a functioning tool. And you could sell it. To me, that would actually be kind of fun. Cool. That's the podcast, bro. We did it. I appreciate it. Josh, how many ideas did you say you've done? 70? There's 78 on this list here on my website.

So this is the Startup Ideas podcast. You're obviously the you're an idea person. You're one of us. I appreciate you coming on. If people want to follow Josh's journey, I will include links to all the places you can get to know him better in the show notes. check him out. I told him before we hit record, I told Josh that he's my my ex crush of the week because I recently found him and I've been I've been I've been consuming his tweets loving it. So, you know, keep it up. Well, thanks for having me, Greg. It was a ton of fun. Later.
