How I hit $23k ARR in just 2 weeks

I revolutionized logo design with the birth of the first-ever Logo Grid Generator, an Adobe Illustrator extension.

As a freelance graphic designer, I stumbled upon a recurring frustration in the logo creation process—a need for greater precision and independence. It struck me that starting with logo grids could be a game-changer. After months of ideation, I made the leap to turn this vision into reality. With a skilled developer on board, we began crafting the solution.

The anticipation built up for months. Teasing the product via Instagram Reels, I eagerly awaited the community's response. After partnering with affiliates, they got their hands on the product and shared their experiences via reels. The response was beyond imagination—two posts even reached over 1 million views each, igniting a viral frenzy with hundreds of thousands engaging.

The pre-order phase was nothing short of exhilarating. With the option to sign up for notifications, the excitement escalated. In the first week, pre-orders soared to $15k ARR, and by the end of the second week, that figure surged to a staggering $23k ARR.

It's been an electrifying journey, and this is just the beginning! The response has been overwhelming, and I'm eagerly looking ahead to what's next for Grid it™.

    Interesting! I am currently developing a plugin/effect for video collage effects for DVR users. I didn't set up a pre-order launch, but a lot of people showed interest.

    How did you go about finding affiliates? Were they other creators and such? I'd love to hear a bit more about what you did for that.
