How To Make $ Even if You Have 0 Followers

Danny PostmaSerial Entrepreneur $1200 monthly revenue from FigComponents.com
Published April 20, 2023 by Niall Doherty

Danny Postma is a serial entrepreneur who I’ve profiled before…

$50,105 In Sales Within 2 Weeks

He recently tweeted to his 70k followers…

“You’re only successful because you have a large following.”

BS. Here’s how you can do the same with 0 followers

I’m going to take figcomponents.com as an example. A product I’ve never mentioned here on Twitter that makes $1200/month.

That site is a “Free Figma Component Library.”

Figma is an interface design tool. It lets you create, share, and collaborate on designs for software, apps, websites, etc. Components are basically design elements that you can reuse inside Figma.

3-minute video explainer…

Danny’s site provides a bunch of Figma components for free, and some you need to pay for…

I curated a free Figma Community library into an easily copyable gallery of components. Zero investment needed.

[…] Free products keep users on the site, which boosts your product’s Google ranking. To earn trust, offer good stuff before asking for payment.

To earn money, limit some tools to paid, with a one-time payment for better conversion rates.

Back to Danny’s thread: he steps you through how he came up with the idea for the Figma Components website (keyword research), and drove traffic to it (SEO)

One nifty SEO hack there is to launch on ProductHunt…

It doesn’t matter if you become #1. Being in last place is still a win. Why?

Because Product Hunt gives you a link with a domain authority (DR) of 90/100. The higher the DR, the stronger the effect.

Here’s Danny’s listing on ProductHunt

The “visit website” button you see on that page is a valuable “dofollow” backlink to his website that boosts the SEO…

Lots of websites repost Product Hunt, meaning, you don’t get one backlink but most of the time 10-50.

This is enough to rank on the first page [of Google] with a [low difficulty keyword].

The cool thing about this hack is that you don’t need to have a “product” to post on ProductHunt.

I posted an article on there a while back, which resulted in a high-quality backlink to my website.

(Hmm, maybe I should be “launching” all of my articles on PH )

Also, there’s probably an opportunity here for someone to offer a “launch on ProductHunt” service, where you send them some details and they take care of everything for you on PH.

Could that someone be you?
