Just hit $100 MRR - first paying customer after 6 weeks

Quick milestone update!

Closed my first paying customer this week - $100/month on a custom Agency plan.

The journey:

- Week 1-2: Built MVP to solve my own problem (18% bounce rates on local business campaigns)

- Week 3: Posted on Reddit about the problem, got DMs asking what I was using

- Week 4: Threw up a landing page with pricing

- Week 5-6: Engaged in cold email communities, helped people with data questions

- Week 6: Customer found me through a Reddit post, we negotiated, closed the deal

What worked:

- Solving my own pain first

- Free tier (100 leads/month) to let people test

- Being helpful before selling

- Building a feature the customer asked for (multi-location search) before he paid

What I learned:

- Launch faster, build less

- Talk to users more, code less

- First customer teaches you more than 100 hours of "market research"

Next goal: $500 MRR

Happy to answer any questions about the build or go-to-market!
