How I get the first 1k paid user (MRR=10k) in 45 days (opens in new tab)

My launch strategy in general: make splashes & word of mouth Here is a an overview of what happened:

Stage 1: Making posts on reddit → 10 signups/day

Stage 2: Multiple ProductHunt launches → 200 signups/day

Stage 3: Shout-out from angel influencers → 1000 signups/day

Stage 4: More organic posts from influencers → 2000 signups/day

The unconventional takeaways Luck is important, which may surprise you. What worked for me might not work for you. Every successful story is 99.99% irreplicable. Reaching the break-even point is incredibly satisfying!
