I Let Claude Code Build a Business — It Made €24,249 From Scratch
In my last video I showed how I'm making €10,000/month with AI and AI-built websites. Loads of you asked how the custom CRM actually works — so this is the one-stop breakdown. This is Part 2 of the series: exactly how I build a custom CRM from scratch with Claude Code (or any AI coding tool), how leads flow from the marketing site into the CRM, and how I turn those leads into paid bookings. (Part 3 = the full build.) No fluff, no hype — the real system behind a business doing €10K/month.
