You can launch your own Airbnb for $500.

Or Tinder for $450... and Uber for $2,000

"App clones" are popping up everywhere.

Here's why the "app clone" market is insane:
🧵

Imagine you have an idea that is Uber for X or Airbnb for Y.

Now you want to build it, but aren't technical.

You can:
A) Pay a freelancer or dev shop $15,000+
B) Find a technical co-founder
C) Spend 2+ learning how to code
D) Use an app clone
Thats why companies like AppDupe are getting 100,000 visitors a month.

They build "clones" of the most popular sites and give you a white-labeled solution.

Their sell to founders is...
- Launch quickly
- In-house customization
- Save $ on development

But here's the problem...
You might get sold a car, but leave with a horse.

There are horror stories of people getting:
- Nonfunctional code
- Not owning the proper rights
- Being drastically upsold to customize

If you don't know anything about dev, you won't know if you're getting a car or a horse.
Let's weigh the pros and cons:

Pros:
- Quick launch
- Fast market validation
- It's cheap

Cons:
- Not a code base you want to build from
- Maintenance is questionable
- You can get scammed
There are also really cool companies who started as an app clone.

If I were to launch something like Tinder for Dogs, I would use 100% use one.

But you know what the better route is?
Learn a no code tool, then buy a theme.

You can buy an Airbnb theme for $69 on Wordpress.

Change the messaging and branding yourself.

Get market validation.

And if you get traction... you can get fundraising to build the real thing.
Thanks for reading!

Follow @Adam_Ha_Yes and I'll launch Tinder for dogs as an app clone 😂
TLDR:

- App clones are cheap ways to validate ideas
- You can get ripped off, so be careful
- Learn no code tools to empower you to test on your own

"I really want to break into Product Management"

"If only someone would tell me how I can get a startup to notice me."

Make Products.

"I guess it's impossible and I'll never break into the industry."

MAKE PRODUCTS.

Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics –
https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.


There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.

You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.

But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.

And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.

They find their own way.
