First paying customer🎉🎉

I took some days off to visit Viena during the weekend. On Sunday night I opened the mail and found one of the best notifications that I've ever received: a stripe notification telling me that someone subscribed to Phoenix Down premium🎉 I'm so excited that I'm writing this while going on train to Bratislava.

This is my first ever dollar I made from someone purchasing something I made and it's a great feeling!

Next step: I'll personally contact him to understand why they subscribed and to understand his goal.

💸$10MRR... next goal is getting $50MRR🤞

    Congrats! When you talk to them, try to record the convo so you can use their words in your copy.

    Congrats! That's a huge moment. If you can get one customer you can get ten.

    Great work, Daniel! I still remember my first cheque (when cheques were a thing!): $50 from WIRED magazine for a short article I wrote. That first payment felt like validation, that I was ‘officially’ a writer.

    Nothing beats that feeling, when you get your first payment. It makes everything real. Here’s to you hitting that $50. Good luck, my friend!
