Show HN: Me and my buddy made $20 with a Stripe link and a Tweet
So a buddy a couple of days ago came up with the idea for a new SaaS product regarding gpt and image generation.
We did a quick MVP that barely works, it breaks almost 50% of the time but we still wanted to validate the idea before going all in.
We have almost 1k followers on Twitter together. Did a quick post describing the idea with a stripe link in the comments with a 5$ value, no landing page, and no shipped product. In exchange, the buyers become beta users.
Around 30 mins later we got our first sale next 30 mins another 5$ and so on.
Do we consider the idea validated?
The short answer is no, We gained some initial momentum but we can't call it a business yet, not until we are starting to get recurring revenue.
What next?
We created a notion file with multiple marketing channels we plan to test out and see which one is the best.
We also created a list full of websites to submit our product and we are tracking the traffic we are going to get from each of them.
