How i made over $1.5k per month with just a simple directory service

I left my home when i was 21 and moved to Canada to become Independent.

I am building startups since I was 18. At 18 I raised money from Investors for my E-comm startup for the first time.

After failing at it miserably in 2023, I decided to start with Indie Hacking.

I joined Buildspace s4 and built a service for sharing AI Tools/SaaS with 100+ directories.

After marketing it on Twitter(X), Reddit and Facebook I started getting some traction.

My first service business idea became profitable in just 1.5 months in 2023

I made my first Internet $$ with http://Reachactory.online - simple idea is to share AI Tools/SaaS with 100+ Directories - increasing reach by 50-100+ users per day.

My service allowed me to work with over 15+ startups.

I also got the chance to perform more bigger marketing gigs for large startup clients such as TeamGPT.

I am sharing my story here just bcz I know you are also struggling just like I am.

You are also trying to build something out of yourself just like me

I really wish my story helps you in building & motivating whatever you are building rightnow.

BTW I am super curious about what you are building.

Share what you are building and I will give my honest feedback and ideas to improve your product here
