$216 in 1 day by listening to a customer. Here is how I did it.
Yesterday I received an email with title "Urgent Inquiry". It was a business, and they were looking to purchase 3 licenses, but most importantly, they wanted all 3 licenses under one single billing account.
But there was a problem, this wasn't even possible in Motion.
I took action and spent the entire day building out the feature, and called it "Workspaces".
That same day, 16 hours later, I email back the business and told them that the feature was ready, I was straightforward with them and told them it was not possible before. My idea was to let them know that I was there for them when they needed a new feature, or that I was at their disposal, I was not an "AI automated response" or chatbot.
The next day, I received the Stripe email notification we all know about: "Payment of $216.00 from ... for Motion Software"; they bought 3 licenses for an entire year, all up-front.
My take from this is, building a product might not be the hardest part, the most difficult part is acquiring and gaining those users. I was very close to not implementing that feature because I knew it wouldn't be easy, I had to redesign some parts of the database to introduce the "Workspace", and had to perform database schema migrations as well.
I am taking SEO & marketing more seriously now, and even if your app might be B2C oriented, you must also be open to business clients.
