First dollar of revenue 🤯

After 9 months of building and see-sawing through different product ideas, I just passed a huge milestone: my first paying customer!

I started building in public in March 2022 and have been working to validate ideas all year long. Each time I put a product out there I felt like I made better-informed moves. I did my best to book interviews with people who fit my target personas, I kept my product features tight, and I listened earnestly to all the feedback that came in.

With my latest app, Dropboard, I feel like it's finally starting to pay off. 😅 There's still a ton of work ahead of course, but the first dollar in is super motivating!

This is such a fantastic feeling, thank you for letting me share with you all.

    From someone who has been trying to build for years... well done!
    I someday wish I will be able to write the same kind of post :)

    Keep it going, and keep us updated!
