How Kushank actually did it

6/7 funnel stages sourced

Reconstructed from Kushank's own published sources. Quoted claims are the founder's words, verified verbatim; anything marked as our analysis is exactly that.

Where the idea came from

3y domain experience

The founder spotted a gap while browsing Twitter: viral AI prompts being shared were poorly written, while people clearly wanted better results from tools like ChatGPT.

Per "Hitting $35,000 Monthly + 1M+ Followers By Focusing On Content First" (Indie Hustle interview with Kushank Aggarwal, written by the publication)

Validation

Built first, validated after

MvpValidated

Built a working no-code prototype in about a day and shipped it, gating signup behind a paid trial that required a credit card up front specifically to get an honest read on demand.

The founder said requiring a card at signup was a deliberate choice to get a real signal of interest, not just free curiosity clicks.

“This is to make sure we get real signal for the interest in the product.”

"How I went from an idea to first paid user in just 4 days" (Indie Hackers post by Kushank Aggarwal)

PresalesValidated50 manual customers

Tracked how many trial signups actually converted to paying status in the first week after launch.

The founder posted on LinkedIn that the product had reached 50 paying users within its first week.

“has 50 paying users in just a week!!”

Kushank Aggarwal LinkedIn post: "Prompt-genie.com has 50 paying users in just a week"

First test users

Existing audiencePaying from day oneTikTokInstagram Stories

The founder launched a new TikTok account for the product and also posted about it to his personal Instagram Story.

“We created a new tiktok account and just posted a few videos. And I posted about the app on my IG story as well.”

"How I went from an idea to first paid user in just 4 days" (Indie Hackers post by Kushank Aggarwal)

First paying customer

Existing audienceFree to paid upgrade$3.99

Trial signups required a credit card up front and auto-converted to a paid $3.99/month subscription after a short trial window, so the first customers were the same people who signed up as first users.

“It was a trial for a couple of days and ten $3.99 after. Credit card was required to sign-up.”

"How I went from an idea to first paid user in just 4 days" (Indie Hackers post by Kushank Aggarwal)

Acquisition channels, and whether they worked

Other · TikTok (short-form video)LaunchWorked

The founder kept reposting the same product-demo TikToks rather than constantly creating new ones, and one eventually went viral.

“Kept posting same tiktoks over and over again and the account somehow got 2k+ followers with one video going mega viral.”

"How I went from an idea to first paid user in just 4 days" (Indie Hackers post by Kushank Aggarwal)

The founder attributes the channel's effectiveness to three years of prior experience growing TikTok accounts, including one for Zapier.

“this was easier for us because I have 3 years of experience growing TikTok accounts including Zapier's.”

"How I went from an idea to first paid user in just 4 days" (Indie Hackers post by Kushank Aggarwal)

Other · Instagram (personal account, existing audience)First customersWorked

The founder posted about the product to his own personal Instagram account, which already had a large following.

“I also posted it on my personal account (tons of followers so definitely helped to crack 5-fig revenue).”

"How I went from an idea to first paid user in just 4 days" (Indie Hackers post by Kushank Aggarwal)

In a later interview the founder frames the early traction as leverage from an audience he had already built, rather than something replicable by everyone.

Per "Hitting $35,000 Monthly + 1M+ Followers By Focusing On Content First" (Indie Hustle interview with Kushank Aggarwal, written by the publication)

How it changed as they grew

At launch: 3 people (2 co-founders (the poster and his brother) plus 1 employee)

Bootstrapped

Pricing increase: $3.99/month (after a 3-day trial requiring a credit card) → $5.99/month

No specific rationale is given in the sources for this particular increase; presumably an attempt to raise revenue per user.

Our analysis, not the founder's claim

Pricing restructure: $5.99/month trial requiring a credit card → $9/month with a freemium tier, no credit card required for the trial

Per a later interview, removing the card requirement was framed as the fix for high trial churn.

Per "Hitting $35,000 Monthly + 1M+ Followers By Focusing On Content First" (Indie Hustle interview with Kushank Aggarwal, written by the publication)

What broke as they grew

By the founder's own account, growth cooled off after the initial viral hype, and the product saw churn typical of AI-wrapper tools.

“Our growth has slowed down since the initial hype. We've also experienced higher churn similar to most AI tools or GPT wrapper.”
