cnamshspairneon Tell HN: just made my first dollar on the Internet from my freemium web app

I love reading stories like this.

There is no greater motivator than seeing that first sale or first deal come through the door. I've been lucky enough to have that feeling with two companies now - and it never gets old or tired.

I love the comments about waking/emailing PayPal receipts to wives. I did the same thing. I still do when I good sized deals come through. As leftnode said - that's the high of being an entrepreneur.

Congratulations on the sale. Hopefully it will be the first of many. It's a really good idea - I've forwarded it on to a few friends in PR and marketing agencies. Hopefully at least one or two of them will send $12 your way before long...

The observation test is the most interesting one - you don't need any knowledge of London to do it. The map reading etc is a bit more problematic...
