How Marc Lou, PH's maker of the year, makes $50k+ every month with multiple products!

How Marc Lou, Product Hunt's maker of the year 2024, makes $50,000/Month with multiple products!

🧠 The founder

I’m Marc Lou, founder of ShipFast. I shipped 16 products in the last 2 years, from AI tools to SaaS.

In 2021, I was depressed, living with my parents and 0 income. One day, I saw a tweet from Pieter Levels, a guy building startups with a laptop and no employee — Freedom.

I took the plunge, moved to Bali, and shipped like a madman.

I showed up every day, even when I didn't feel like it. 2 years later, I'm making $50K/month with my 20 products.

🌱 The Early Days

From shipping this many products, I realized I was doing the same thing over and over:

Set up DNS records, listen to Stripe webhooks, design pricing section…

I spent a week gathering all the code I used in the last 2 years and made a boilerplate — ShipFast.

I launched it on Product Hunt a few hours before going to Hong Kong and kept adding features on the plane.

🔥 The Biggest Growth Hack

Twitter is big. That’s where I get my first users all the time.

It’s hard to get visibility when you get started, but there are 2 ways to make some noise:

1. Have a very catchy headline that
   challenges the status quo

2. Make a killer demo video.

I embed myself in popular movies and it works well all the time, even when I had 1,000 followers.
