After 10 months of work, my SaaS finally made $3,000 in a single month!

Hi all, my name is Arthur, founder of MediaFa.st

I am 20 years old and I started my coding journey at 17

Tried to learn coding, tried to find a job on Linkedin, and miserably failed...

Then I tried to build an agency, worked on it for a year, and gave up on that idea too

One day I signed up for X and saw builders like Marc Lou, that is when my indie hacker journey really began!

I built two SaaS projects (both failed), then the idea for MediaFa.st came after I tried to do marketing on Reddit (for those projects)

I lost four months and was banned six times 🛑

Once I finally figured out how to grow there, I thought: "Why not help others with the same problem?"

I did not validate the idea, I just built it in three weeks

Trained AI models, wrote the prompt system on the backend to handle all scenarios (not just AI slop)

I shared the project on X three days before launch and got a sale on the first day

I made $362 dollars the first month and I was SUPER EXCITED 💥

I kept improving the tool, learning more, adding new things, and growing my X audience at the same time

Second month I made $765 dollars
Third month I made over $1,200

Slow growth, but steady growth
After hitting the$ 1,800 milestone in July, I set a goal: "Make $3,000 dollars in a month" 💸

I failed three months in a row
I got so close every time
$2,300 in August
$2,700 in September
$2,800 in October

And finally in November...
...I made $3,000 dollars 🎉

SUPER HAPPY AND EXCITED!

My SaaS now pays all my bills, protects my lifestyle like a shield 🛡️, and gives me the freedom to build more apps and create more income sources 🧩

Thanks to it I moved to Spain as a student, even though I do not like it and I am moving to Poland next year, It covers all my expenses and I am grateful for that 🇪🇸➡️🇵🇱

All those NO DAYS OFF moments finally paid off!

I remember a quote I heard once and never forgot:
"Sometimes you get lucky, and you cannot miss your lucky day if you TRY every day"
