I just opened my site recently for beta user on July 15 after much thinking. I didn't wanted to start selling before making a solid product. But over the years I heard this advice again and again about the importance of selling. The sooner you start selling the better because people tell their honest opinion when they spend money on your product and I didn't wanted to build something that nobody wants. So to get feedback from users early on and guide my business accordingly I decided to start sale very early with a huge discount.
So I opened up the beta on July 15th and I got two sales on the first day. I don't how many time I have visited the dashboard to see those number. Its a feeling I can't describe in word. The next day I got 3 more sales and another on the third day. By no means this are any extra ordinary number, but it is very special to me. Now that I've paying customer means I've got skin in the game and I'm more committed than ever.
Here to the next 6 or 6 thousands.
