How I launched a product, got the first client & made my first $1000 from it within a week.

I built a website using Wix.com in about 3 days.

I used Wix because I've used it multiple times before and wanted to launch the site as fast as possible.

As soon as the website was done, I launched it on ProductHunt.com.

Got only 7 upvotes there.

I invited my friends to upvote it, but I didn't have many friends who knew about ProductHunt and how it works.

Then I shared about it with the link of ProductHunt on all my social media handles (Instagram, Twitter, Linkedin and IndieHacker).

I sent out some cold emails as well and got zero replies.

On the next day of sharing and talking about it on social media, I got a DM on my Linkedin.

It was one of my ex-colleague who used to work together a long time back.

He said he and his partner are trying to build a product, and he's interested in using my service.

We immediately got on a call and agreed to work together again.

I met his partner, and he turned out to be an amazing guy. He was as excited as I was to work together.

That's how I got my first client within a week and made my first $1000 from my productized design service www.unlimiteddesignz.com.

What I've learned from this?

  1. Never ever cut your bridges
  2. Always be kind to everyone
  3. Never stop believing in what you do
