100 paying customers

Proxies API(https://www.proxiesapi.com/) was the most unlikely project that I ever thought would bring me success. The secret this time was doing a product that I know everything about. I have been web scraping pretty much ever since i started programming so this is my love. In fact I had paid for a competing service before and I felt i could do a better job if I had the time someday. Today I have100 paying customers. I can hardly believe it. Many of them came from my little posts and updates here and I am very grateful. Thank you IH
Proxies API does what it says in the name. It is a rotating proxy api for web scrapers. We pass webpage fetch requests through a network of over 2 million high speed, residential proxies and render pages, solve CAPTCHAs, handle sessions, cookies and other issues so you never get blocked.

      Thank you... I have relied a lot on content marketing, and community posts like on Quora so far. I thinking of introducing ads at some point but I am not sure how that will work.
      Will do a post soon about how I went about writing and distributing content :-)
