🎉 Sold Iconbuddy for $30,000. 2.5 years ago, I bought it from @fayazara for $4,000. No revenue. No traffic. Nothing. That $4,000 was literally all I had in my bank. Here's the journey: → Launched on PH, Twitter, HN, Reddit → It blew up. People loved it → Tried sponsor slots for monetization. Didn't work well → Users kept asking for plugins → Built Figma, VS Code, Framer plugins → Added a $49 lifetime deal → Finally, real money started coming in → Bought the .com domain for $4k to build trust → Increased price to $89. People still paid → Built a second site targeting "free svg icons" keyword for $10 → Grew it to 350k+ pageviews → Redirected all traffic into IconBuddy → Everyone said I was crazy → 45 days later, Iconbuddy ranked for all those keywords → Grew to 100k+ users → All organic. $0 on ads → Made $50k+ in revenue running it solo → Now sold to @julianengel for $30k A $4k bet turned into $80k+ in 2.5 years. My 10th exit. Buy small, build smart, sell at the right time. Repeat.
