The Full Story
Ich hatte etwa 10.000 Twitter-Follower und erwähnte häufig dass ich bald ein neues KI-Produkt starten würde. Ich hatte keine hohen Erwartungen.
Multi-Plattform-Launch
Als ich SiteGPT im März 2023 auf Twitter startete, wurde der Launch-Tweet viral. Am nächsten Tag landete er auf der Titelseite von Hacker News. Dann startete ich auf Product Hunt wo es #1 des Tages wurde.
Der Exit
Ich ging von null auf $15K MRR in nur sechs Monaten, und verkaufte das Unternehmen schließlich für $250K.
- Zeit zu $10K MRR: 1 Monat
- Spitzen-MRR: $15K in 6 Monaten
- Exit: $250K
Key Takeaways
1
Baue ein Publikum vor dem Launch auf - meine 10K Twitter-Follower waren entscheidend
2
Starte auf mehreren Plattformen schnell hintereinander - Twitter, HN, Product Hunt
3
Öffentliches Bauen schafft Momentum - Menschen lieben es der Reise zu folgen
4
Unterschätze dein Potenzial nicht - ich dachte ein Kunde wäre Erfolg
