4 months into my solo-building journey. Day 122.
Link in Seconds is growing fully through organic marketing now. No paid ads. New users come from Google, AI search, links people share and word of mouth.
Numbers first:
- 2,870+ users (1.8k on Day 94, so 55%+ growth in 4 weeks)
- ~700 daily active users over the last 20 days
- 5,790+ links created, almost half of them in the last 4 weeks
- 18,400+ link views
Organic growth since my last update:
- Search traffic up 7.5x
- Search visibility up 7x
- Growing ~40% week over week for the last month
- Our main pages now show on the first page of Google
- Every shared link brings new people to the product
What I worked on:
SEO, on page
- Rewrote pages around what people actually search for
- Added clear answers, comparisons and FAQs to the most important pages
SEO, technical
- Made the site much faster, especially on mobile
- Focused on fewer, stronger pages instead of many thin ones
SEO, off page
- Listed on G2, Capterra, GetApp and Software Advice
- Wrote my first Medium article
- Building a few real backlinks every day, no paid links
AEO (getting found in ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity)
- 25+ answer-first articles built from real questions people ask AI tools
- Original data posts and honest comparison pages
- Link in Seconds now works inside ChatGPT and Claude, and the ChatGPT app is in review
- Tracking every week whether we show up in AI answers
Robust security, because people trust us with their files
- Every upload is scanned for malware, phishing and harmful content before it goes live
- Files sit in private storage and are never exposed directly
- Every view passes through one protected layer that enforces password, expiry, view limits and download settings, so a link can't be bypassed
- Links inside files are checked against live phishing and malware threat feeds
- Known abuse material is detected and blocked automatically
- Rate limits and bot protection on every sensitive action
- Regular security audits and penetration tests, with fixes shipped the same week
- Daily backups and error monitoring, so problems get caught early
Features people asked for
- Every link feature is now free, and the free plan went from 20 to 50 links
- New Media tab: all your photos and videos in one gallery
- YouTube-style video player with hover previews and shortcuts
- Link settings with a live preview, plus batch edit for many links
- Clickable links inside PDFs, album downloads as one ZIP, custom domains
One clear lesson: ads brought clicks, but organic growth brings people who stay. A page that ranks and a link that gets shared keep working every day, even while I sleep.
Still learning.
Still building.
Still shipping.
Still moving toward $10K MRR.

भारत कोई Banana Republic नहीं है Lala land में नहीं रहते हम

Every 3-4 years I think anti-incumbency is setting in, BJP time is up.
And then, the opposition and andolanjeevis somehow bring back the energy to the core base. 🤣🤣
Fantastic!
Gyanesh Kumar is good in telangana, kerala, tamilnadu, karnataka, himachal pradesh, punjab etc...

Raksha Bandhan has always been my favourite and one of the most beautiful festivals because it celebrates a bond that is truly irreplaceable,the bond between a brother and a sister. It is a relationship filled with love, endless memories, laughter, fights, teasing, support and, above all, a promise to always stand by each other.
Wishing all brothers and sisters a very Happy Raksha Bandhan. May this beautiful bond always remain strong, blessed and unbreakable. ❤️
@SwiggyCares Thanks for the response. While I appreciate the apology, my night party was completely ruined due to the last-minute cancellation. I request Swiggy to investigate the incident and provide appropriate compensation for the inconvenience caused.
You can post this:
Dear @SwiggyCares, I received the refund for Order #244573454121582, but that doesn’t make up for the terrible experience. My order was cancelled at the last moment, completely ruining my night party and leaving my guests without refreshments.(1/2)
A refund alone doesn’t compensate for the inconvenience and disappointment. I hope Swiggy takes responsibility and ensures this doesn’t happen to other customers. #Swiggy#CustomerExperience#Disappointed(2/2)
