    Inspiring. You said $0 in marketing, it was all organic. How did you get the traffic then, what does organic mean? I always feel like traffic is one of the hardest things.

      yeah, I share the same thought as yours.

    Just wanted to congratulate you on persistence and say how envious I am of the fact you are not discouraged by lack of "overnight success" and finding joy in just building, you will do amazing things 💪

    Great post.
    Can you tell us how much you made and what tools did you use ?

    Thanks

    Keep going!

    This is such a good read! So many nuggets of insight. How did you find your experience using Microacquire?

    Hey Domenico. This is awesome!

    I'm in the same boat as you were - I run a company but trying to build a start-up on the side. I'm working with someone else, but neither of us have any tech experience/experience building anything no code etc.

    Did you or your founders have that background? If not how did you do it? And if you did have experience building products (I run a tech recruitment company so no tech experience!) what would your tips be - would you for example try and find a founder who has?!

    Hey Domenico! Inspiring article and great job.
    Can you mention the NoCode tools you've used to build your projects along side OpenAI?

    Very eye opening! I was under the impression I would need to build my business for a couple years before selling. Great article!

    Wow, impressive work (especially with unpaid channels acquisition)
    Best wishes for your future endeavors 🤙

    That is great Domenico! Bravo! How did you come up with the idea for your products, and how did you find a market for them? Is there a competitor at the moment that the product was being launched, and if so, who is it?

    Bootstrapped? & with full time jobs? Thats a superpower I believe!

    It’s inspiring to hear someone build valuable products in such short time. I can see how this approach could really build your confidence.

    I agree with @alex1759 that it would be great to hear about how you came up with and chose ideas. I’m finding it difficult to have the confidence to really commit to an idea but I suppose the short delivery time really helps here. I would also love to hear how more detail on working with a partner, how you divided work, held each other accountable, where I helped/hindered, etc

    Very useful. I benefited a lot

  17. 1

    Amazing work here, well done!
    Would be interested to know why you sold all the products rather than continuing to grow any of them?

  18. 1

    Bravo Domenico! But how did you find an idea for your products? And also, were they any competitors at the moment of launch?

  19. 1

    Well done! You commitment to your challenge is incredible!

  20. 1

    Very inspiring. Thank you

    Niiiiice! I think these challenges can be great to really push ahead and build something especially if you're the type of person whose prone to perfectionism or procrastination. I've had this issue in the past where nothing gets done and I did a similar challenge to yours and saw how I could achieve so much more when there was a hard deadline. I had to be really cutthroat about the decisions I made rather than sit and ponder on them for days or weeks. Congrats on your success.

    Wow, what amazing insights and success you've had. Thanks for sharing this. What no-code tools did you use?

    Hi Domenico! That's really impressive that you were able to build and sell three micro-startups in just six months, especially while juggling a full-time job. It sounds like you're a natural entrepreneur and really know how to make things happen.I'm sure a lot of people would love to learn from your experience and see how they could apply it to their own entrepreneurial pursuits. Have you considered sharing your story and insights on a platform like Best Chester It could be a great way to connect with other entrepreneurs and offer valuable advice to people who are just starting out.Thanks for sharing your story and congratulations on your success!
