I have launched 24 products in the last 4 years and finally achieved my goal

I could have stopped in 2021 or 2022 after many failures, but I kept building.

I know indie makers who managed to become successful very quickly, but in 90% of cases it does not happen quickly.

I have learned from my experience and many other indie makers that 3 years is the time it takes for any indie maker to start earning enough to work on their projects full time.

I am still building new products despite the fact that I already have profitable projects.

My latest project IndieMerger.com was created in less than a week and pleasantly surprised me. I created it because my most successful project became truly successful after I found a partner and I wanted to try to help other indie makers find a marketer/developer partner.

I did not expect that so many people want to find co-founders to join forces. And now I see great potential in this product and plan to focus on it.

But none of this would have happened if in 2021 I hadn’t started building and trying to launch projects one after another.

    Building my Rod Wave merch store taught me the same thing: it’s all about staying consistent, learning from each drop, and improving over time. Success rarely happens overnight.

    Congratulations on your persistence and success! It's inspiring to see how consistent effort over time pays off. I'm currently working on an AI-powered resume builder for developers and aiming for my first sale. Your journey motivates me to keep pushing forward.
