Optemization hit over $50k in revenue in 8 months:
The most important acquisition channel has been Twitter (growth captured in image) but I started a newsletter, which currently has 1,899 subscribers.
Tomorrow, I'll send a brief tactical newsletter on our #nocode tech stack, workflow, and templates: https://digitalops.substack.com
Awesome, congrats Tem!
Thanks Anthony! We've been around each other for a while now :)
Hey @optemization congratulations on the new milestone. I've been following you here on IH and on No Code Founders slack group, I like how you are active and sharing the journey all the way. It's great to see the determination and consistency going on which I personally believe is critical in making a service/product work.
Hey Hi! Thank you for following. Yes "building in public" has been a very good activity for reflection (connecting to strategy) AND for marketing/sales/growth.
It's interesting you mention about marketing/sales/growth. How much has building in public helped with sales?
I haven't yet rounded up the data to highlight explicit relationships but all I know is that the more I post stuff, the more sales I get :)
duh, lol
Haha sounds like time well spent and money well earned ;)
Congrats! Great work :)
Thank you! Trying hard :)
Congrats!
How do you balance consulting and products?
Hiring a co-worker / collaborators was KEY! I had no time prior but when I narrowed down on a group of reliable folks and got comfortable with them crushing client work, I had more time to ship products.
@a2savior in particular, joined full-time and worked extra super hard on the products too (besides client stuff). Building a team of the right teammates CHANGES EVERYTHING
