I’ve been excited about all these new platforms popping up lately. Many of them offer AI as a way to make money. With new tech coming out every week, I thought I’d try my hand at creating a software-as-a-service tool.
My idea? An AI humanizer tool.
Users could input their AI-generated articles, and my tool would rewrite them to sound more human. Pretty cool, right?
I spent a few days researching the best low-code or no-code options to deploy this tool quickly. Finally found one that seemed perfect.
I could launch my tool today if I wanted to. But there’s a catch.
The payment option.
To start accepting paying customers, I need to connect to a Stripe account. And here’s the kicker: Stripe isn’t available in Indonesia, where I live.
This is a huge problem.
No matter where I look, the payment option is almost always Stripe. There’s no way around it. If it’s not available in your country, you’re out of luck.
Many platforms offering AI solutions for creating tools use Stripe as their only payment option. It’s frustrating because I can’t use these platforms, even if I want to.
This is why making money online can be so tough. If you live in a country where Stripe isn’t supported, you’re stuck.
Some people might try using a shell company or VPN to get around this. But that’s risky and could violate terms of service. Not worth getting your account banned.
It’s just the reality for those of us living in countries without Stripe support.
I’m still looking for other options. If I can’t find any, I might have to tackle a more difficult problem, like incorporating a local payment provider.
That’s all for now. I’ll be back with updates soon.
