It’s a small -micro- win, but honestly feels huge. A few months ago this whole thing was just an idea, and now someone actually trusted me enough to pay for it.

Still a long way to go, but this definitely gave me a boost to keep going.

For anyone still grinding on their first sale — it can happen.

I'm curious.. How was your first sale? How long did you grind before it could happen? Were you close to give up?

I’m a developer, and honestly my biggest pain point isn’t building the product—it’s getting people to actually use it.

Marketing has always been (and probably will always be) the hardest part for me. I’m trying to figure out what a solid marketing strategy really looks like, and more importantly, how to avoid the usual mistakes.

For those of you who’ve been through this:
If you have multiple distribution channels, how do you prioritize them? Do you assign some kind of percentage or weight to each one? What’s your reasoning behind that?

Would really appreciate hearing how others approach this.
