Description: Will Baker calls himself 'the laziest founder' on the channel: he built apps that together make $10K/month with no TikTok army, no UGC, no build-in-public — just paid-ads-to-simple-app, with chapters on ad examples, a 'lazy playbook', and a small stack. The video is essentially an argument that simple utility apps with paid acquisition beat content marketing for solo founders.
