全ストーリー
I built my first Chrome extension in a weekend. After growing it alongside other micro-SaaS products, I sold it at full asking price in 5 hours.
The Weekend Build
Chrome extensions are great for quick validation. I built the MVP in a weekend and started getting users immediately.
Multiple Products
I built a portfolio of micro-SaaS products. Total revenue exceeded $500K+ from subscriptions plus exit.
Built to Sell
From day one, I built with exit in mind. Clean code, documentation, and transferable assets made the sale smooth.
- MVP: 1 weekend
- Time to sell: 5 hours at asking price
- Total earnings: $500K+ (subs + exit)
重要なポイント
1
Work on business not in it
2
Build to sell from day one
3
Chrome extensions validate quickly
4
Portfolio approach reduces risk
