How to scale after first paying customer?
Super excited to have experienced my first taste of success with my first paying customer after two weeks of launching.
Built this while finishing my thesis and working contract gigs. Saved 18k, spent six months shipping features and fixing bugs, and honestly wasn’t sure anyone would use it. So seeing that first customer felt unreal.
Now what? I'm extremely happy about this but at the same time i would like a reality check and I would like to learn how to scale my product. and not got trapped by this founders high that I'm feeling. So my question is, how do i expand from here?
Feel free to give some feedback, thoughts, comments.
