🎉 Milestone Unlocked: First Paying Customer for SMS Textr! 🎉

Hey Indie Hackers!

I’m thrilled to share that SMS Textr, my pay-as-you-go SMS API platform, has officially welcomed its first paying customer! 🚀

What is SMS Textr?
It’s a simple, affordable SMS API service designed for developers and businesses in North America who want to send SMS programmatically without the hassle of subscriptions. Perfect for startups, side projects, or any team working on a budget.

The Journey So Far
I started this project because I noticed how many developers were frustrated with high SMS costs and rigid subscription models. After weeks of building, beta testing, and promoting it on platforms like Product Hunt, I finally hit this milestone.

Lessons Learned

• Solve real problems: Focusing on a niche pain point made it easier to connect with potential users.

• Engage with your audience: Communities like this one have been invaluable for feedback and support.

• Celebrate small wins: Every customer counts, especially at the start!

Next, I’m focusing on growing the user base, collecting more feedback, and improving the product.

If you’ve been here, done that, I’d love to hear how you scaled up! And if you’re a developer looking for an SMS solution, I’d be happy to help you get started with SMS Textr.
