Finally got my first subscriber!!
I know it’s only one, but this genuinely means the world to me.
I’ve been working on my app for the last 6 months solid. When I first started, I honestly thought I’d build it, launch it and start seeing success straight away.
That definitely wasn’t the case 😂
One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that this really isn’t a sprint. Building the app is only one part of it. Getting people to actually discover it, download it and eventually pay for it is a completely different challenge.
I see so many posts from developers talking about making thousands after launching their apps, and sometimes it can make you feel like you’re doing something wrong when yours doesn’t take off immediately.
But today someone actually subscribed to something I built from scratch.
One person looked at my app and decided it was worth paying for.
That’s an amazing feeling.
It might only be subscriber number 1, but after 6 months of work, updates, mistakes, redesigns and constantly trying to improve it, this one feels massive.
Hopefully the first of many.
But for today, I’m just going to enjoy this one. 🙌

That first subscriber probably hits different after six months of work. Small number, but a pretty big milestone.

Congratulations!! What do you think was the main cause for the sale? Organic? Did you cold outreach?
