First customer :D

Having launched aiselfi.es with a relatively small audience and relaying mostly on my network I didn't have huge traffic.

First day around 200 users visited my website.

From those, it was mostly people I had DM: friends, family, etc.

Received a couple of orders from friends but you always wonder if they are only doing you a favor. Don't get me wrong, I'm deeply grateful for their orders but I would do the same to support a friend.

The next morning, you can imagine my excitement when I see the first order from a random dude in Colombia.

I searched my LinkedIn network, followers, etc to see if we were connected somehow. Zero. The guy was totally random.

I reached out to him to thank him. He told me he was considering getting headshots and when he saw my post he was convinced by the quality of the product.

That feeling is what keeps me going. Knowing that my product solves someone's problem.

    You built AISelfi without a coding background, and it now shows about $4K/mo here. Since customers upload photos and pay, who owns dependency and security updates behind it today, you, the AI tools, or someone technical?
