making @daftyai - focus creative on ideas, not execution

[Graham @wi7sdo]

10 weeks after launching my indie start up
@daftyai

💰MRR: £305
📷Paying customers: 18
🗃️Total users: 145

Going well🎉
- Selling in person is so easy, the alternatives have such gaps for the people i'm targeting, I need to bottle this.
- Feedback is coming in hot and fast, I had to spend a week on onboarding and some UX stuff but im really pleased with the outcome - platform feels great, esp when watching over my user's shoulders
- First customer went straight to my max plan, elated - could feed my toenails about to crack watching them click my highest plan.

🙈 Going shite
- First churn from online customers - literally no response from them, feelsbadman
- Haven't caught a good run on any distribution yet but not giving up

📝 next steps
- Stop product dev for a bit, keep hammering in person selling - all other time to online distrubution
- Watch my onboarding like a hawk
- start posting on the reg

@philz1337x That is insane - very interested to integrate it into @daftyai - how does it handle illustrations / fonts?

[Graham @wi7sdo]

Watch me create an on-brand video carousel for Instagram in under 40 seconds.

I think we’re moving into an era where the bulk of the effort is moving towards ideas rather than execution and we are right at the inception.

What is so exciting, this was only *really* possible in the last 6 months...that's why I built Dafty.

There is so much more I have in store I am bursting at the seams to release and see what brands create.

@marclou @jackfriks I needed to see this big dog, today was one of those days - thanks again for being so public with your journey

@jarredsumner No one wants multi threading until you need multi threading

[Graham @wi7sdo]

@jackfriks Did you test with paid ads in the early days - I keep hearing about the organic promised land but am struggling. I’ve read that real paid UGC is a great way to drive traffic.
