Got my mom as a customer

I received a reply to the automated welcome email in OneUp... from my mom.

She started an online teaching curriculum, and wanted to use OneUp to schedule her social media posts.

And here I was thinking she didn't even know the name of our company 😅

She wanted to pay, but I insisted on switching her to a free account. Small repayment for the thousands of dollars of food she provided for me all growing up!

    That's the ultimate achievement! Mine doesn't understand yet why I build my product 😅

    Hey, how nice! She must be proud of you. I know a lot of entrepreneurs who find it hard to explain to their parents what they're business is about. Especially when it's online.

        Only joking of course, but now you have a lot more reason to make sure your user experience is 10/10!
