Free Step-By-Step Vibe Coding Course

Learn Vibe Coding,
One Subject At A Time.

Use AI to build real software from the very first line. Each subject gives you one thing to type, one plain-English breakdown, one visual preview, and one quick check that proves you understood it. Only the current section stays visible, so the course feels paced like a real guided program instead of a content dump. There is also an open section below on the actual business side of vibe coding: entity setup, trademarks, banking, app-store requirements, fees, timing, and launch planning tools.

Educational, not automatic. This course is designed to make coding and AI feel easier to approach, but it is still your job to use your own judgment, test your work, and do your own research before shipping anything important.
// Before You Sell

You Created An App Vibe Coding. What Now?

Before you try to sell it, do the business side of vibe coding. A built screen is not the same thing as a sellable product, a legal business, or a launch-ready app.

Real talk: you can vibe code an app in 20 minutes and still be days or weeks away from safely charging for it. The missing work is usually structure, registrations, banking, policies, platform rules, taxes, support, and launch operations.

Legal setup, registrations, and name protection

This part stays open on purpose. It should be visible even if you never touch the guided course flow.

Open
  • 01
    Choose the structure
    Decide whether you are staying solo, using a DBA, or forming an LLC/corporation before money flows through the product.
  • 02
    Form the entity first
    If you are creating an LLC or corporation, register it with your state before applying for an EIN.
  • 03
    Get the EIN
    The IRS says EINs are free and can be used immediately for most business needs like opening a bank account and applying for licenses.
  • 04
    Check the brand before filing
    Search for confusingly similar names before filing a trademark. A federal trademark application is not a magic brand reset button.
  • 05
    Budget by state and class
    State filing fees vary. USPTO trademark filing starts at a base fee per class and can rise with extra filings or complexity.

Money stack, launch operations, and app requirements

Use this before you ask anyone for money or even send the first serious sales link.

Use Now
  • Q1
    Separate the money
    Open a business bank account and stop mixing customer money with personal spending.
  • Q2
    Own bookkeeping and taxes
    Know who tracks revenue, refunds, processor fees, contractor payments, and tax obligations before your first charge hits.
  • Q3
    Ship the trust layer
    Privacy policy, terms, support inbox, refund language, onboarding, and monitoring must exist before checkout.
  • Q4
    Handle platform rules
    Apple and Google both expect privacy disclosures. Google Play also requires a privacy policy and account deletion path if your app allows account creation.
  • Q5
    Respect time
    Going live is not just code. You still need screenshots, QA, support flow, billing tests, and a realistic first-user plan.

What the business side actually includes

This is the part new builders skip because the app feels done before the company is ready.

Reality
  • B1
    Entity + DBA choices
    How you take money, sign contracts, and protect yourself legally starts here.
  • B2
    Registrations
    State entity filing, EIN, local licenses, sales tax and platform onboarding can all create blockers.
  • B3
    Brand risk
    Name collision, domain availability, and trademark search come before expensive design work.
  • B4
    Payment operations
    Processor setup, refund logic, payout timing, chargebacks, and support expectations are part of launch.
  • B5
    Ongoing maintenance
    Annual reports, policy updates, renewals, bookkeeping, and customer support do not disappear after launch day.

Time and fee reality

The point is not to scare you. The point is to stop pretending the business side does itself.

No Fluff
  • T1
    Same day
    Offer line, buyer, domain check, support inbox, pricing hypothesis, and launch checklist.
  • T2
    1 to 3 days
    Entity filing decision, EIN, bank prep, payment processor, privacy and terms draft, refund language.
  • T3
    Several more days
    QA, onboarding, screenshots, platform metadata, analytics, deletion flow, and billing tests.
  • T4
    Real fees
    State formation cost varies. Trademark filing depends on classes. Apple and Google have developer-account and compliance overhead. Tools and contractor time add up fast.
  • T5
    Real support
    Once strangers pay you, bugs, refunds, and trust become an operational job, not just a design problem.
Right Now

Get the company shape right

  • Name one buyer and one painful repeated problem.
  • Decide whether this starts as a solo project, DBA, LLC, or corporation.
  • Check the name across USPTO, state registries, search engines, and domains before you fall in love with it.
This Week

Set up the money and trust layer

  • Register the entity if needed, then apply for the EIN.
  • Open the business bank account and decide who owns bookkeeping and taxes.
  • Publish privacy, terms, support contact, refund rules, and onboarding basics.
Before First Charge

Make the app launchable

  • Test billing, access control, welcome flow, and support path on real devices.
  • If the app handles accounts or personal data, make deletion and disclosure flows obvious.
  • If you are shipping to app stores, finish screenshots, app metadata, privacy fields, and policy checks.
// Business Tools

Use These Before You Try To Monetize

These are not “write me a pitch” toys. They are practical launch tools for figuring out what still has to happen before the app can handle money, platforms, and real users.

Educational only. These tools help surface gaps and sequence work. They do not replace a lawyer, accountant, or platform-specific compliance review.
Tool 01

Launch Path Builder

Checklist

Map the business-side steps based on how you plan to sell, what kind of app you built, and whether you handle accounts or user data.

Build a launch path and this will show your likely order of operations, business-side blockers, and the work you should do before taking money.

Tool 02

Fee And Runway Planner

Budget

Estimate the non-code side of launch. State fees vary, so you enter yours directly. Trademark math uses the current USPTO base filing fee per class.

Estimate your first-year setup burden before you assume the app can start printing cash.

Tool 03

Readiness Audit

Go / No-Go

Score the launch layer. This checks if the non-code pieces exist yet, including deletion flow when you let people create accounts.

Run the audit and this will tell you whether you are actually close to launch or just emotionally attached to the app.
