How I had an overnight success

Want to know how to have an overnight success?

You build a ton of apps, for years. So many that you can only recall a fraction of them. And you don't stop. Then at some unpredictable point, things change (as visualized in my X/Twitter banner).

In this screenshot are some of my app attempts, and how much they made.

Also, what's not shown, is that there's a general trend here: the apps I spent the least amount of time coding initially, made the most amount of money over their lifespan.


I share what I've learned on this journey from $0-$58k MRR and an exit, in The SaaS Bootstrapper, subscribe if you're into that kinda thing.
