Got my first paying customer for $7/month!

I suddenly saw an influx of people joining my Notabase Discord yesterday.

I asked them where they were coming from, and apparently, someone had posted my product to their own Discord. They had found out about it from a post I had made on Reddit.

Then, someone else joined my Discord, and within an hour they announced that they had subscribed to Notabase Pro! I checked my email and saw a notification from Stripe confirming this.

Here's what they had to say:

I was really happy to hear this, and to see that they had subscribed! It felt like my work over the past 7 months had been validated.

I then posted a tweet:

It massively blew up with over 1K likes, and singlehandedly grew my Twitter following by 40%. Lots of people are still replying to it and are super supportive. I did not expect to see it do so well!

That tweet led to this massive traffic spike:

This is probably the biggest spike that I've had so far; larger than from posting on Reddit. But many of these people are probably not part of my target audience, so I don't think I'll see much out of this traffic. Hopefully, 1 or 2 people out of the >500 visitors today end up subscribing 🤞

As you can tell, it's been wild. I'm still trying to process everything that's happening 🤯
