Brandwagon··on Birdflow for Twitter – Concept to Revenue in 1 Month
I built Birdflow in 3 weeks (part-time). Within 1 week of launching it, it was featured on HubSpot's My First Million podcast, got 100 signups, and $1,500 in ARR.

----------

Birdflow helps businesses engage with their customers on Twitter at scale. With Birdflow, any business can use personalized automations to:

- Drive traffic, leads, and sales.

- Grow a following by incentivizing engagement.

----------

Some examples:

- Send a welcome message when someone follows you.

- Send a promo code when someone retweets you.

- Send a lead magnet when someone likes your tweet.

- Send a gift when someone uses your hashtag.

- Schedule a reminder when someone likes your tweet (useful for events).

- Follow back people with more than X followers.

----------

This is all possible using automated workflows with triggers and actions that anyone can set up. Birdflow listens to your Twitter events to determine if any of your active Birdflows should be triggered. You can see who triggered each Birdflow and exactly what was messaged or tweeted to them.

Brandwagon··on Ask HN: Single Person startup/company?
I launched ClosingBell (http://closingbell.co/download) 2 years ago to help retail stock traders collaborate and share investing ideas. Never raised. Never got press. Never had a team to help. But I managed to grow it to 14,600 members, and over 1,170 have connected their Robinhood brokerage account via a partnership with them earlier this year. I launched a freemium model in May that now does ~500/mo. I never marketed it as I am still experimenting with the business model. I have tried growth hacking tactics in the past. I recently made a Slack app to raise awareness: http://closingbell.co/slack
