The Problem
Running Amazon PPC campaigns = building dozens of campaigns per product launch, each with budgets, keywords, match types, targeting groups. Manual process: 6-8 hours for 12 products.
The Learning Path
- Month 1: HTML + CSS + JS → ugly CSV generator
- Month 2-3: React → component-based app
- Month 4: Python FastAPI + Supabase
- Month 5-6: Polish + deploy
What Surprised Me
- Building is the easy part — marketing is the real grind
- Users don't care about your code
- Best features come from support conversations
- Free tier > paid marketing
Knowing the domain deeply makes up for weak coding skills.
