🚨 We just got our first paying customer!🚨

We've recently signed up our first non-affiliated paying customer (not in "friends & family" category) on notify-me.rs.

I still can't quite comprehend that someone actually bought something that I made 🤯

      Thank you, it really is!

    That is the biggest game-changer emotion you can have as an entrepeneur. I had my first paying customer too for my new project two days ago and was jumping for joy. Congratulations!

    Congrats! I'm still chasing that 'first customer'. Its weird how it can just feel impossible sometimes. Well done :)

      If it makes it easier for you, it felt impossible to me as well

    Hey it's a great product! Cool stuff I'll definately check it out closer sometime soon.
    One tip: as a Dark Reader user I've noticed some chaos on the landing page while dark mode (from the extension) is enabled - you can doublecheck your page against Dark Reader users as there's plenty of us on the internet.

    Cheers!

      It didn't occur to me that Dark Reader users will have problems, mostly because site is in kinda dark mode by default. Will definitely take a look and try to fix!

    Congratulations :) How much time it takes from launch? Do you have some marketing campaign for leads or it was organic.

    1. 1

      I did some guerilla marketing on Reddit and Linkedin, but nothing else. As for the how much time from launch - If we look at the original beginning, it was more than 5 years ago when I was a faculty student and wrote a super simple python script for myself. So yeah, a lot of time I guess!

    Congratulations this is cool, and the site is also a very useful website and I am sure you would more customers, try to set a marketing channel motion that is choosing few channels and continuously acting on it. let me know if you need some preliminary help

    1. 2

      Already doing that!

    Congrats! That's a milestone!
    I can't wait until winning my first dollar on my own!
