Launched on PH: Got first 2 sales, 50 free users, 30 email subscribers in the first 24 hours

Hi,

I recently launched my new web service on product hunt with no expectations whateversoever to get any upvote.

To my surprise, I woke up to dozens of new users, 2 actual purchase! Although it has only 39 upvotes so far.

It's nothing comparing to a success like instaaa ($13k in less than a month, over 1k upvote), but it's a small and decisive win for me. I can honestly tell you i was just about to give up after one year of development. I know i know, I could have done product market fit test before started. But, it's more complicated said than done.

The point is: this small win brings me back on track, more importantly, it tells me who my potential customers, where I should spend my time on marketing.

If you are struggling but you know you want it bad, do not quit.

I will update in a month on my progress.

        I think both Pete's techpresskit and your instaaa are successful because you and Pete both understand marketing psychology really well. But how did u develop such instinct? Was it from previous experience? I think I'm getting better by learning from so many failures. Love to hear your thoughts.
