Published April 27, 2023 by Niall Doherty

The Twitter bio for Bhanu Teja Pachipulusu…

24yo indie maker. I quit my software dev job to make it as an independent maker.

Bhanu is from India

In 2019, he graduated from university with a degree in computer science and engineering and landed a job as a software dev, earning about $2050/month.

Bhanu quit that job within a year to launch a startup with a friend. They worked on it for 14 months and earned $0

Then Bhanu turned to freelancing and earned $17,000 within a couple of months

Despite that success, he never gave up on building his own thing.

He created a “Notion to Blog” software called Feather.so that is now earning him about $4000/month.

But that’s nothing compared to the product Bhanu launched a few weeks back…

Almost there at $10k MRR with SiteGPT.ai

It hasn’t been a month yet…

[…] My year end goal was $10k MRR, now my goal is $25k

SiteGPT is a “personalized chatbot trained on your website content”

Visitors to your site can type in a question and ChatGPT will reply back, but only using your site content as reference material.

Seems to work well, and looks especially useful for sites with tons of content.

In terms of marketing, I get the impression that Bhanu’s main weapon has been building in public. He’s quite active on Twitter and had about 10k followers there at the start of the year.

That audience helped him spread the word about SiteGPT when he launched

​​My launch tweet on Twitter went viral.

My product got on the first page of Hacker News for several hours.

My product became the #1 product of the day on ProductHunt.

(Here’s his launch tweet.)

Other key factors in Bhanu’s success, in my opinion…

He’s clearly become a skilled software engineer.He’s worked his ass off on this product.The AI craze is real.

The latter means that good products in the space don’t need much of a push to go viral

As Sahil Lavingia (CEO of Gumroad) once said…

The market you’re in will determine most of your growth.
