Day 1 of his AppSumo launch: $3,819.
Day 2: $84. 😬📉
Day 10: $3,371. 📈
That's solopreneur Ashish (@heyashishrai) of LeadOcean. I am super impressed.
Day 2 is the day most founders decide it didn't work. Everyone says perfect the product first. His regret: spending too long perfecting the product instead of getting it out there.
What he did instead:
1- He kept posting.
Reddit, a private founder group asking for feedback, LinkedIn every day. And then kept posting.
Day 2 is when you start posting, not when you stop.
2- He changed the product for his users.
1,358 of his 1,751 users never open his site. They use LeadOcean inside Claude or ChatGPT.
Knowing what problem you are solving is critical.
3- He started over small.
Quit his Shopify engineering job when his dropshipping business took off. Lost it all to COVID. Started over with no investors and no co-founder.
Now he runs LeadOcean mostly alone, 30 hours a week. Just passed $150K in sales, more than his old salary.
Building got cheap. Distribution didn't.
