You’ve gotta think about the value you’re bringing to your customers. You’ve had 1 sale which is good, that shows it is something at least someone wants. But consider this: if you’re spending 1 day on building something, the barrier to someone else building it is very low.
Since this is HN, I’m assuming this is some sort of software. Building software is complicated and there is a reason most tools out there have lots of engineers working full time on it. You’re not going to retire off of a quick 24 hour build session. Nor even by building hundreds of little one day tools.
This practice could be good to find a market where there is clearly a need, but building a quality product, not a quick one, is where you’ll derive the most success.
Sure, sales and marketing can help you profit off of lower quality apps (not a judgment of your skill, but 24 hours isn’t enough time to build a quality app that has any level of complexity), but it will only get you so far.
