5 months ago: messy prompts just to prove I could build a Cluely clone in 2 days today: 300 people paying every month Thanks Claude — you literally made this possible!

Stop chasing millions. 2,000 people paying $5/month = $10K MRR. One video got me +12,000 users (2.8M views). You’re literally just: - 1 great video - 1 right influencer - 1 clean onboarding - 1 product that actually delivers away from making this real.

my ex co-founder f**ked me over many years ago we had a startup that grew to 10k users and 200 contracts with restaurants but he flew to another country for a high paying job and stopped working on the product at all he was the only dev since I couldn't code at that time we needed to do promised updates to get the revenue and keep growing i tried to get other devs but transition was really hard eventually i got into a lot of debt and had to close the company i got a full time job and worked for a whole year to pay my debts before starting my next venture this scarred me so bad that for my next tech startup I spent 5 months learning to code (best decision ever) and built it myself (Beep startup) i still believe working in a team is better and more fun than doing it solo, but you gotta choose people wisely

Not huge numbers, just around $300–$800/day. But with my country’s living costs and low marketing spend, it’s more than enough. And that’s my goal for 2026. Build 5 apps → grow each to $20k/month → 100% organic, no paid ads Live in Vietnam. Low burn. High freedom. No hype. No pressure. Just shipping, compounding, and chilling. That’s enough for me 😌 Slow, consistent growth is exactly what I want. Build & chill 🍺

I made $10k+ from my Dev Job. I made $10k+ Freelancing. I made $10k+ selling an eBook. I made $10k+ selling a Course. I made $10k+ building a B2C SaaS. I made $10k+ selling a B2C SaaS. I made $10k+ from Ads. I made $10k+ from Sponsorships. I made $10k+ Consulting. Proof that you can make money in SO many ways. You don’t need a perfect idea. You need to start and not quit.

What I'm building next: Taking everything I learned and building a B2C app in public. Goal: 0→1000 paying users in 90 days Strategy: Paid TikTok ads + viral content Drop a follow if you want to see the journey. No BS, just real numbers.

I built a B2C app to $250 MRR with 39 paying users in 3 months. Then I realized I was building it completely wrong. Here's what actually makes consumer apps succeed in 2025 (and why most indie devs fail):

Since I started my indie hacker journey 2 years ago, I feel like I aged 10x 😅 It’s not easy. Every day is a struggle, and every month you have to make sure there’s a payout 💸 But honestly? I love it ❤️ I’d rather feel older than go back to a 9–5 and feel “safe.” 🚀
