How failing my way through everything finally led me to the product people actually wanted

Hey Indie Hackers I am Arthur

My journey into building started messy
I began coding at seventeen and failed at almost everything
Tried learning on my own
Failed
Tried finding a job
Failed
Tried building an agency for a year
Walked away from it

Everything shifted when I joined X and discovered indie hackers
Seeing people build small projects with honesty made me want the same life

I built two SaaS products after that
Both failed
Both taught me nothing about marketing

Then I tried promoting them on Reddit
Four months of chaos
Six bans
No clue about warming up accounts picking the right subs or avoiding spam filters

But once I finally understood how Reddit works everything changed
My posts survived
People replied
Traffic started coming in
And it felt like I unlocked a secret level of organic growth

That moment became the idea behind MediaFast
I didn’t validate anything
I built the first version in three weeks
Trained the AI models
Wrote the backend prompt engine
I just wanted a tool that would save others from the pain I went through

I shared the project on X a few days before launch and got my first sale on day one
Month one I made $362
Month two $765
Month three a bit over $1,200

Slow growth
Steady growth

After hitting around $1,800 in July I set a new goal
Make $3,000 in a single month

And I failed three months in a row
August $2,300
September $2,700
October $2,800

Then finally in November
I hit $3,000
That number meant more to me than any job ever could

Now MediaFast pays all my bills
My student life in Spain
My rent
My food
My freedom to keep building

All those “try again tomorrow” days finally paid off

I once heard a quote
Sometimes you get lucky and you cannot miss your lucky day if you try every day

That is exactly how MediaFast was born
