Ask HN: How long did it take you to get your first sale for your side project?
- stevekemp 10y agoI built my project for myself, and started using it about a week after I'd first run `git init`. Once I did that I spent several weeks making it prettier, writing documentation, and before that was complete I had my first user. I think it took me about a month to get my second user, and another month before I broke ten. Nowadays I seem to get 3-5 users every week for a free trial, a third of which go on to pay. So the growth is somewhat random and irregular.
- malux85 10y agoFor my first one, it took me about 6 months, and lots of cold calling and networking. However this was a B2B product, and worth £100k a year, so quite large sales.
