My second payout: $103 that's probably the real amount I'll get from now on (unless I go viral again ๐Ÿ˜)
My first payout ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป thanks to ONE post that got 10M views (it took me 1.5 year and 14k posts to get to it)

THIS ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ (and on Android too) I had to add a custom CHA-CHING sound ๐Ÿ”Š except now it plays for ANY notification: billing issues, errors, recaps etc.. โ˜ ๏ธ
Hey @stripe @StripeDev @patrickc @collision iOS features Stripe really needs: 1. Custom notification sounds Let us choose different sounds for payments, payouts, disputes, etc. A successful payment should be recognizable without even checking the phone. 2. Home + Lock Screen widgets Show available balance, pending balance, todayโ€™s revenue, Treasury balance, and total balance across Stripe accounts. Small features, huge quality-of-life upgrade for founders using Stripe every day.

I'm fucking proud of this post, Idc about the "trend" I could have just said "let's connect" like others instead, I took hours to write this big recap it's best way I've told my own story so far nvm the views, it's not all about ROI do the things that feel right to you stop copying everyone else just be yourself and share it
I'm 30 solo founder from France ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท no job, no freelancing, no client work just me grinding daily since April 2025, when I started here with: - 10 followers - 0 network - 0 post / 0 photo/video of myself online - 0 product built By the end of 2025 I โ€“ created my company โ€“ posted on X, LK, Reddit, TikTok for the first time โ€“ recorded myself in English โ€“ posted guitar playing videos + BiP videos โ€“ launched my first SaaS (8 live now) โ€“ made my first internet money โ€“ traveled outside of Europe โ€“ jumped on calls with strangers you might know me as the guy who branded the Mac he didn't have yet (maybe that's what will remain lol), so here's more about me, hoping it inspires you: I always wanted to be a game dev but was rubbish in maths/physics, failed, and ended up getting a Master's degree in English studies (with a research paper on AI, that already seems so outdated lol) then complete shift to web dev, started from zero โ†’ one year later I was creating a web app for a huge British company as a solo, fullstack dev that's mostly what's still helping me finance my journey, even though I've just been burning savings every single month since anyway that contract ended in April 2025 ; I was going to do freelancing, but I found this indie community here and started watching @marclou's vlogs I had no idea where to start but I still started I've never loved coding, I've only ever loved creating stuff thanks to it - and that's what I'm addicted to ๐ŸŽธ I play guitar (got my first one 20 years ago) ๐ŸŽถ I've recorded probably more than a hundred songs over the last 15 years ๐ŸŽฎ I love gaming, I used to spend 10 hours a day not coding but playing, not much time anymore now (toxic trait: I believe I could've turned pro on CoD4) ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Now creating things online, from SaaS to web apps to mobile apps to random tools to games (I even ranked #51 / 900+ in the VibeJam) and now going all-in on the BrandMyLaptop.com marketplace "I haven't got THE product that could help me blow up and that would make me want to focus on 100%" - that's what I said on my birthday 10 months ago ; but now I do!!! this BrandMyMac auction has completely changed my journey in the span of a few days it's the first time I felt, while building it, "I know this is a banger, it's obvious it can work, it must already exist" the rest is history: โœ… 13M views in 2 weeks (10.3M with one post) โœ… +3k followers in the last 2 weeks โœ… unlocked monetisation on X and got paid $1,300 โœ… I made $15k in 3 weeks = I made $16k over the last 1.5 years (different perspective right?) โœ… started the whole "BrandMy..." trend all that took +14k posts, 8 SaaS & 2 mobile apps that kinda flopped ($200 MRR all combined atm), a crazy amount of reps (made 100 daily vlogs then stopped cos they felt useless) if you think I pulled that recent money, impressions, success or whatever out of nowhere, you're wrong. and it's not your fault there's no way for you to know what it took to get to that point and this is the point of this post, might as well re-introduce myself to the new 3k followers (welcome and thanks), instead of just saying "let's connect" lol anyway, grateful for all these moments, your support, and the amazing people I've met ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ and I'm proud for starting this journey, believing in myself, and challenging myself more than ever still long way to go before being able to chill out making revenue passively ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ thank you all โค (some posts illustrating my journey below ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ)

more features =/= more MRR I haven't shipped anything new to my mobile app in a month, but it's still been growing and doing better than ever ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ being busy with BrandMyMac and BrandMyLaptop actually prevented me from adding useless features to it lol
If you're using @RevenueCat on @trust_mrr... You can now upload an API key instead of the Verified Metrics URLs. Your iOS/Android app page will show - All-time revenue (not just the last 30 days) - MRR all-time - and churn! This is possible since RevenueCat released the Charts API earlier this year. If you've already listed, you can migrate directly from your dashboard > My Startups > Payment Provider.

going viral on X got me some job offers โ˜ ๏ธ + more opportunities than if I was searching for them working for yourself forces you to try, build, learn, improve, stand out. that's also what companies want the only difference is that projects in my portfolio carry a Stripe link
You can actually mess around on X and get a new job. One week ago I worked for a tech startup doing 1,000 cold calls every single week. I built Maxed AI on the side but was constantly worried Iโ€™d be told to stop by my employers. Then @bigvalleyblue DMโ€™d me to lead their growth, encouraged me to keep building Maxed and my other apps, and promised to never censor my tweets. What a world we live in. Just start sharing your thoughts on X- it can literally change your life
