January 17, 2023 First milestone: Hitting A$100 MRR after 3 weeks with my first commercial product

After 3 weeks of commercializing wordfixerbot.com, I finally reach the first milestone I set for myself at the beginning of reaching A$100 MRR in the first month.

I started the product at the beginning of December and have never thought I can ever reach this far with my first commercial product.

I have learnt so many things in the journey from building a great web application to growing it with new features and designs to marketing and promoting it to new customers.

I am thrilled with the results and excited for what's to come on this journey!

    Sorry this post did not make it to the front page. Your original one (from January) should have made it there as well. Good luck with WordfixerBot!

January 3, 2023 How I get started with my first commercial product

Hi everyone,

About a month ago, I first came across OpenAI and their GPT-3 models. I was amazed and stunned by its powerful language performance, which can be applied to natural language or coding language. I thought it could be an exciting idea for me to build a simple application powered by GPT-3 as a portfolio project for my resume, so the journey with WordfixerBot begins.

I build WordfixerBot as a simple AI language processing tool that can paraphrase, grammar check, and summarize texts.

Two weeks after getting started, I started showcasing the first version of this tool, mostly on Reddit, and after receiving much positive feedback, I found that it has the potential to generate revenue. So I decided to turn it into a MicroSaas product that I can build to get more experience on my journey to become an Indie Hacker.

I have faced many challenges around marketing my tool to get the first batch of initial customers. As someone who does not have a lot of marketing experience, I know that I must get my hand wets and just do it. I start with posts on Reddit on many tech subreddits and submit my product to product listing pages, and it helps me to get some feedback from early customers that I can use to improve my tool.

I am still on my journey to get better at marketing, and hopefully, I can reach my first goal revenue of $2,000 MRR in the next few months. I believe that if I work harder and smarter and believe in myself, I can achieve my goals and get more customers.

I am happy to answer any questions and would love to receive any feedback about the tool!

    Hello, Austin. Thank you for sharing your story. I checked Wordfixer and I must say I am really impressed.

    I do story writing occasionally and whenever I am trying create dialogue, I face difficulty, because my English isn't as casual as it should be. I learned the language by the book so I tend to make rigid and complicated statements.

    Your bot might just be the key when I hit that kind of blocker next time.

    Also, I am part of a team called bip.so and we recently built Ansy.ai, AI discord bot based on GPT-3 Model. It trains from chat history and other docs like Knowledge repo, articles etc to create contextual answers for community questions.

    We just launched on Product hunt. So, if you can check it out and leave some feedback, it will help us a lot. Thank you!

      Hi Surya, glad that you like it. I have looked at the demo video for Ansy and am really impressed with what it can do. I will give it a go in my Discord and see how it performs :D

About

I start it as a side project to learn more about NextJs and OpenAI. However, at that same time, I want to become a indie hacker and that push me to turn this side project into a full-time commitment product
