$7,056 ARR in 7 days after launch (+ some lessons). What else should I share?

  1. 10

    $7K ARR after only 7 days is a great achievement.
    As they say - if you can get 10 people to pay for your product, there's a good chance that you can get 1000 people to pay for it as well.

    This is definitely a good start!
    Congratulations, Daniel 🎉

        Yep, heard that from Andrew Gazdecki as well 💡

      Thanks for taking the time to write this Simon!

      I sure as hell hope you're right - let's get it together 🧡

      What about if you can get 10 people to click on a subscribe button :P that's where I'm at! The only motivation that keeps me going tbf.

    Hey IH, after the previous post ($4k ARR in 4 days) was well received here, I wanted to post this so I can ask:

    What more can/should I share about the journey?

    Obviously, milestones perform better, but I wish I had more ideas about what other stuff I can share — knowledge, experiments, etc...? Any suggestions/questions are welcome!

      Did you just deploy your MVP with an expectation of then learning from customers and pivoting towards product-market fit? Or did you do thorough customer interviews and problem discovery before building anything at all? Or something in between?

      1. 2

        We already knew people were paying for this, so we went straight into it. But the answer is closer to the first thing you said — it was (and still is) a huge bet on the pricing model — we don't know whether it'll pay off properly or not

    Absolutely love that.
    Did you try to sell it to eBay sellers?

    Nice one. How'd you go about launching it and getting people aware of the product?

  5. 1

    😮 Amazing! I love visiting IH just to see amazingly inspiring stories like this.

    I got one question...how does it feel? :P

    1. 1

      IH is great thanks to ppl like you who take out a bit of time to support such things! Sending love 🧡

      How does it feel? It feels like the game is on: not as in pressure, but as in... responsibility. For my family (the aim is to build a platform of wealth for my family), for our users, for my co-founder (who is my brother, who is only 17 years old)... it's not even half time!

      But of course it feels nice to have a positive feedback loop — it wears off after a bit. Once you taste it you know how to recognize it next time

        🙏

        Your brother is so lucky to get this opportunity and experience 💪. Keep up the good work.

          I think he deserves more credit than me, honestly! He's been the lead behind the 1,000,000 words written in our library of guides

    That's awesome @chddaniel 🎉
    Been following the progress on Twitter - a great example of how to efficiently convert social capital -> economic capital. Wishing you all the best with this going forward!

    Wow! Congrats. man!!!

  9. 1

    I'm following your journey on Twitter and I'm impressed with such big numbers only 7 days after launch! Congrats and keep hustling.

    1. 1

      Thx so much Dan! Glad to have you on the journey. What else/more can I share?

      1. 2

        So far, you are doing great! There is a ton of little things we can learn from each other's journeys!

      Beautiful product 👌 I'd like to know what designer did the landing page so I can hire him (or her) 😄
