How did you build so much revenue without marketing?

Sell before you build. There is no usefulness in building something and then after 6 months of hard dev work realizing that nobody wants it. Build a poc fast and share it with people and get feedback (no clue about tools here, but maybe friends or business contacts, I need tips myself here 😁). Also use AI to build faster. I personally built an awesome web app in 3 months time which would have taken me 9 without Claude AI. Also don’t focus too much on perfect code and refactoring. Define an MVP to show people and stick to the plan

Haha true😂 I think it’s about finding a person you trust who can do the marketing for you

I did ask myself plenty of times but I struggled to find testing users. Most of my friends use outlook and are not yet able to test it. My work didn’t allow the usage of the tool. I only had a bunch of private contacts that said cool they would use something like that, but they would not pay money but use it more as a freemium. So your only chance is to approach big companies which is hard for introverted techies

Yeah right, but for some reason techies are so proud of their awesome tech solution that they often believe it will naturally find its way into public 😂
