AI Built It. My Contractor Shipped It.
It's hard to overstate just how far we've come in such a short time. The current wave of large language models (LLMs) is nothing short of revolutionary.
One in particular—Lovable.dev—is blowing my mind.
I’m not a great programmer. On my best day, I might call myself a C+ or B- dev. But despite that, I can now create exactly what I want. Even as someone who’s not a polished front-end designer, I’m able to generate clean, effective landing pages—without writing the entire thing from scratch.
What’s even crazier?
I can hand off a rough version to one of my developers or designers on Upwork, and they can recreate and publish it in a fraction of the time it used to take.
It’s a complete unlock in how fast you can build, iterate, and ship online.
Building the Overnight Momentum Lead Magnet
Here’s a real-world example.
I wanted to build a landing page for Overnight Momentum, our premium (but free) swing trading newsletter. The goal was simple:
Capture emails by offering our custom-built swing trading scanners as a free lead magnet.
These scanners are built using Trade Ideas and help traders identify high-probability overnight momentum setups—something we've dialed in through years of testing and iteration.
The offer also includes:
- 📈 Our proprietary scanners
- 💬 Access to our private Discord community (normally $72/year)
- 📰 The daily Overnight Momentum newsletter
So I went into Lovable and gave it a basic prompt:
“Create a landing page with the lead magnet being my custom-built swing trading scanners to capture overnight momentum. Include the Trade Ideas logo in the background, but faded.”
The first draft Lovable generated from just one simple prompt. Clean, focused, and already branded.
Right away (literally 2 minutes), it was better than what I would have made on my own by 100x.
Iterating with Natural Language
From there, I made a few tweaks—just using plain English.
For example:
- I told it to make it clear the scanners are free upon email entry
- It added: “Get our free custom swing trading scanners for Overnight Momentum”
- I asked it to clarify the benefit, and it returned:
“Download our custom-built scanners instantly and identify the most promising overnight momentum trading opportunities”
I also asked it to:
- Add the daily newsletter
- Mention Discord access
- Remove testimonials
- Rename sections to be more direct
- Add a pop-up for email capture
Simply put, LLM's like lovable.dev are truly making it so incredibly easy on us and this is a perfect case study of exactly that... I built a no-code lead magnet in about 5 minutes and I can either spend the next 20 minutes publishing it, or I can just hand it off to my incredible contractor to do exactly that (I chose the latter).
Here’s a kicker:
Even this blog post was built using an LLM.
I recorded a quick Loom video walking through what I did, grabbed the transcript, and dropped it into ChatGPT with a single instruction:
“Turn this into a world-class blog post, matching my tone.”
That’s it.
If you're not taking full advantage of LLM's—you're falling behind.
