I've been employed in a corporation, startup...
Then I opened my own startup, raised money, struggled, closed it.
This year I wanted to ride a wave of solo builders (inspired by Pieter Levels, Marc Lou and others).
It sounded awesome, and I hate to admit, but it sounded kinda easy.
Build an app in a week, find viral formats on TikTok, recreate them, go viral, get rich.
Easy right?
Well. I have locked my introvert personality in a box and put it under my bed, while I started filming my self to promote my apps.
First few videos got 700 views... well you gotta start somewhere right?
But then I just didn't manage to escape that prison.
Somewhere in between I actually managed to get first customers; around $150... nothing mind blowing, I know.
After 60 posted videos I started doubting everything... and the obvious happened.
I have started building a new app. I just wanted to feel productive again...
It worked!.. for a day or two.
Then again the distribution time has came..
Same rabbit hole.
Posting on Reddit was another idea, but I know it's likely in exchange for my soul (bad experience launching software there :)).
Not sure if I even want to ask anything or just share my story at this point...
But if there is anyone who reads this and thinks: "Damn I am complete opposite, I love filming videos and marketing, but don't have ideas or can't build." Make sure to contact me :D
