Do you know what happens when you build an awesome product that really works and solves a problem that a lot of businesses encounter on a daily basis? I did know. People rush to your website and your servers hardly handle all the people entering their credit card numbers. Guess what? DEAD WRONG.

Next 1 year after releasing MVP, all I got were a few free users. I was not bad at building a product, but TBH, that was all I knew. I didn't even bother reading other people's stories. I was sure that if the product is good, people would come no matter what. I didn't post anywhere, didn't let anybody know. How did I expect people to find out about WebGazer, I don't know.

I was already struggling financially at that point. Decided to give up.
