The Last Month
AI Flow Chat project is 2 months old now. At the very beginning the goal with this project was to find a project that could earn me money.
I set the deadline to the 30th of June. The goal is to find at least 1 paying user.
It’s the 30th of May today.
So this marks the last month.
I have a few reflections.
3 months is the perfect time to test out a project.
The first month, you try to make it real. Making it real means taking it out from your imagination, and showing it to people. The faster and simpler you can do that the better. Don’t be afraid of showing something bad. You’re going to improve. Start by showing it to friends. Then your SoMe network. And finally launch publicly.
The second month, you try to go all in on acquiring your first real user (not a friend or family member). Someone you don’t really have leverage over. You’re going to establish who your ideal customer actually is. Try 2-3 different hooks. Be consistent in showing up. Make it into a habit.
The last month, well I couldn’t tell you what the ideal tactic is. But the work from 2 previous months compounds. I’m starting to get SEO traffic and random people signing up. I’m also getting more signals and data from my users. It’s the perfect time to reflect a bit on where to take this further and think about where to double down.
When I show people the product I’ve build and the traction I’ve made on just those 2 months they are mostly blown away. Even if I haven’t made any real money. The praise could be a trap however.
I’m excited to see where another month bring me, and to see if I can find a paying user.
Cheers!
