Hit $1,000 MRR after 1 year of failures 🥹

To give you some context, I've been a solopreneur for almost 1.5 years now

I have 4 failed startups under my belt (One was a recent failure - An AI product to generate social media images)

But then there was Famewall which was the one product which got traction right from the start and gave me confidence to quit my job in June 2022

At that time I was simply at $100 MRR and I was totally new to entrepreneurship

I took the plunge to force myself to learn the necessary skills along the way. And it's still a work in progress as there's so much to learn & experiment

But now exactly after 1 year of building & growing it, Famewall just crossed $1,000 MRR

What got me this far was content marketing & my personal brand on social media

While it seems like a small amount, it means a lot to me as I no longer have to worry about my runway or have fear of going back to a job

If there's some entrepreneur out here who's in a similar situation - Trust me: the hardest part about entrepreneurship isn't about making money, it's about staying in the game long enough so that you have a chance of making money
