The Full Story
Construí Systeme.io hasta $20M ARR como fundador en solitario. La plataforma ayuda a emprendedores a crear embudos de ventas, campañas de email marketing y vender productos digitales.
Email como prioridad
Usé mi lista de emails existente para conseguir los primeros 400 clientes del producto y seguí creciendo después.
Solución simple
Estaba ejecutando cursos en línea y trataba con múltiples herramientas desconectadas. Construí Systeme.io para consolidar todo en una plataforma.
- ARR: $20M
- Primeros clientes: 400 de la lista de emails
- Tiempo: 5 años
