My MVP took 3 hours and I got paying customers

Someone else I saw was lamenting in the comments that there's no way MVPs can be built in days. I believe it's true for some products (hard to test whether people will really want electric vehicles in 3 days) but for a lot it's possible, and I'm living proof.

Steps:

  1. Created a Ship page on Product Hunt
  2. Created a Typeform
  3. Attached Stripe to the Typeform
  4. Attached the Typeform to the Ship page, asking whoever was interested to fill out the Typeform and pay.
  5. Promoted the Ship page via Product Hunt's internal $80/mth service and also some ads
  6. People got to the Ship page, asked their survey questions, then paid.

**for context, my product is a consumer research service where you can for $12 ask 100 people a question and follow-up and even interview based on how they answered. The original MVP is still here but I removed the Typeform link: https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/scoops-3

I've now built out the product, hitting $800/mth. https://scoops.io/ It's possible!

    I feel like I should learn what typeform and product hunt is. I had no idea stripe was so fast to set up though, that's really good to know!

    edit - also, congrats!
