| I could have stopped in 2021 or 2022 after many failures, but I kept building. I know indie makers who managed to become successful very quickly, but in 90% of cases it does not happen quickly. I have learned from my experience and many other indie makers that 3 years is the time it takes for any indie maker to start earning enough to work on their projects full time. I am still building new products despite the fact that I already have profitable projects. My latest project IndieMerger was created in less than a week and pleasantly surprised me. I created it because my most successful project became truly successful after I found a partner and I wanted to try to help other indie makers find a marketer/developer partner. I did not expect that so many people want to find co-founders to join forces. And now I see great potential in this product and plan to focus on it. But none of this would have happened if in 2021 I hadn’t started building and trying to launch projects one after another. 2021 gethome .today - FAILED explosivegrowth .pro - FAILED wpfast .pro - FAILED wpmonitoring .com - FAILED simplesubmiter .com - FAILED 2022 flashbacklist .com - FAILED getstatupname .com - FAILED mentionlist .com - $6k chirpleads .com - FAILED noderemotely .com - FAILED doshowcase .com - FAILED mvpsources .com - FAILED recruister .com - FAILED 2023 communitylist .me - FAILED mentiontools .com - $19k ramenmeter .com - FAILED pictureai .co - FAILED coursendy .com - FAILED anytospeech .com - $2k 2024 painkillerideas.com - $6.8k replyguy.com - $70k stealth.marketing - $1.5k marevo.io - $39 indiemerger.com - $660 |
The three things I am left with from the last "What I leaned is..." 1. Get really close to your best users. Get as much feedback as you can. 2. Cut your losses, if you make a mistake. and just today: 3. NEVER trust an agreement you did not get in writing.
And first and foremost: Babe Ruth, led the baseball league, in strikeouts before he led the league in home runs:
"Ruth never struck out 100 times in a season. He led the league in strikeouts five times, but he never struck out more than 93 times. During Ruth's era, to strike out was disgraceful, at least according to the "experts" of the day. Fans, who are the real experts, didn't care as long as the home runs kept on coming."
