I launched an app a few years ago and sold it for $8.5k. I wish more people knew that exits don't always mean $1m. There's a big market for small project.

Cool story. Congrats on this accomplishment especially considering you only started learning how to program in 2014. Most people have a hard time even shipping a product. You did that and made money on it. Awesome!

Say it again! I learned this lesson a few years ago while talking to a guy who'd had a few "exits" totaling $200k or less. It blew my mind. Wait, you can sell for less than millions?! It led me to sell an app for $7k instead of letting it die a slow death desperately hoping for millions to fall out of the sky. Great perspective shift for me.

This is great... thanks for sharing! what are you working on currently?

lol, I would have been happy to pay twice as much for that, as you had organic growth and paying customers. The ROI is pretty good even if you do nothing. But you did very well, congrats.

Nice. What strategies did you use for organic growth of your website?
