November 2, 2025 Pause!

Putting the project on hold! Had to focus on other projects.

January 31, 2021 $1.050 in MRR ๐Ÿ“ˆ

๐Ÿ”ฅ Yeah, we passed the $1k mark!!!

๐Ÿ“ It's still that very same client, but as promised, they brought a few more smaller projects to us. So far, weโ€™re handling it without any issues or hiccups.

๐Ÿงฎ Weโ€™re thinking about implementing the Monthly plan, which will most likely include a part-time involvement, due to other possible clients and their projects.

๐Ÿคž Hopefully, weโ€™ll get the 3rd one into the game so we can split the job.

๐Ÿ’ฐ P.S. We use 2CheckOut as a payment processor.

Looking forward to writing next month with a higher MRR ๐Ÿ˜Š

Cheers!

      Thank you, Fabian ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ We appreciate it.

    that's great news @stojkovic, keep it going!
    Also, what made you pick 2CheckOut over other processors?

    1. 1

      Hey, fadi! Thanks. We will ๐Ÿป

      We would've picked Stripe, but it's not yet available here. Payoneer also provides payment processing, but only if that payment comes from other companies - so, B2B only. But, since we also do B2C, this was not the option.

      Paddle - They only support merchants who sell digital goods (subscriptions, tokens, licenses, etc.) So, not available for services.

      PayPal we do not like for many widely known reasons.

      2Checkout - they cover our country (for merchants), they support payouts to Payoneer (which we like), they have great API, they have customizable pages, and so on.

      The only thing we didn't like about 2CO is the 6% cut from their side. But, we can live with that for now.

        great insights, I see. I was actually wondering why not Stripe. 6% is a sizeable cut but that could be ok if it enables business and takes away some integration pains with Payoneer. thanks again.

    What has changed in a year for Will it Fail? I hope it has not failed ๐Ÿ”ฅ

    Anyhow, I was wondering if we could have a chat about 2Checkout integration?

January 3, 2021 First Paying Customer

It didn't fail ๐Ÿ˜‚

WE DID IT

Yes, we got our first paying customer, and it's a recurring one. ๐Ÿ’ช

So far, we earn about $600/m and we have an agreement about long-term cooperation, which is amazing! Lots of projects incoming from them, both small and large.

Itโ€™s mostly about manual testing and so far they only provide us with web apps (native mobile apps testing confirmed for the upcoming months).

enter image description here

One small step for an entrepreneur, one giant leap for a team! ๐Ÿ˜‚

We currently operate as a 3-person team, and most likely we will expand, should the need arise.

Nice start for 2021 ๐ŸŽ‰ โœจ ๐ŸŽŠ

      Thanks! ๐Ÿ™‹

      We're still starting with it, sort of experimenting with services and approaches. โš—

      Perhaps we will include the pay-per-hour deals, but we're not sure about it yet.

      1. 2

        experiment, all the things.

        Well, sure, for now you can just scroll through headers and immediately grasp the idea :)

May 9, 2020 Will it Fail?

Wife and I decided to run a QA on Demand business.

Basically, it's what it is - QA on demand ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Why?

Given that there are numerous small teams or single developers who need their product checked, when they need to release their product or need to get their fixes verified etc, they can then contact the "Will it Fail?" so they can speed up their work and focus on proper stuff.

How?

Currently we're a two-person team, probably the third one will join us, so we're offering a limited time slots per week.

Will it Fail?

Hopefully not ๐Ÿ˜‚ We'll try to get it and keep it running smoothly.

Hiring a good QA can be quite time consuming and expensive long-term. This is when we come in handy.
