He Went From $0 to $18,000 in Only 2 Months

Rob HallamWeb Developer $15,000 revenue in one month

Rob Hallam tweeted about his failures back in August…

In the last 11 months I’ve made a whopping $0!

I’ve been living entirely off savings.

I’m frustrated, tired, and a little lost

He went on to document 4 failures, all web apps.

Rob only had 2k followers on X, but his tweet went viral and someone suggested in the comments…

you should start an MVP service. $2-5k to ship an MVP app, extension, whatever… optional monthly retainer for updates, bug fixes etc.

Rob did just that

A month later he’d earned $3000.

The following month: $15,000

So Rob learned a lot from building his own (unprofitable) apps, and leveraged AI to 10x his productivity.

Shared his journey on X, including his struggles, built an audience

Launched his productized service off the back of that.

Shows the value of building an audience, even if you don’t have anything to sell them yet.

How about sharing your journey on social media?
