Too shy to charge — day one buy button

Transcript

are doing if it is not monetized you'll not be able to give it priority you'll not be able to do it so I actually ended up stopping uploading videos on YouTube because I didn't I couldn't teach people how to clone my app because I was just building now things right so I cannot but the point is if you already have so the thing for you to do through this slide was many of you might also be someone who is shy to charge so I want you to do something very simple go to Claude go to charge if we whatever you use summarize some of your learnings or you can create some sort of a video of Loom or something just try to build first buy button button if you haven't already put very minimal price I know it might sound high but like just put 99 minimum 9 rupees is nothing but like put 99 just put a buy button my first app by the way which I generated revenue I didn't know how to code HTML that time the YouTube which I told you that was flutter different technology for building mobile application so my landing page literally looked like this title video which was a embeddable video code I got and then a PayPal buy button I didn't even know webhooks I didn't know sign up anything like that so yeah the actionable thing which I want you all guys to do is anything if you have any learning anything get your first buy button today now coming back to the story of 12 startups in 12 months I feel I'm it's fine now so far anything I'm getting a little bit here and there's something some story kind of start then I get into that but yeah so this is me telling about I launched and started that 12 startup in 12 months so Peter levels he wrote a blog I was like okay I'll do this because it actually worked for me by the way my when I was doing my job I literally didn't have much time my first launch and the second launch was possible just because I had three days of Diwali vacation if that was not there I might not even have been able to launch so literally working at I think even in the videos I have mentioned that it's like 12 or it's like 1 a.m. or something like that and I'll be like okay I'm building this and that my first product ended up generating 30,000 in two days when I launched so it was a lifetime deal and stuff 30,000 was my salary so I was like okay once it happened now the keep in mind guy I was not making money nothing happened for three I did some calls never the other thing but then I was finally doing some respectable job of like you know developer and stuff so I wanted to get back to it but I was like I cannot just stop the job because then what will parents think so it's okay I have not been one launched I'll do one more launch let's see how it goes second launch also fortunately I was able to make 30,000 so I was like okay I can make at least this much per month again if I'm able to do this two times at least per month I'll be able to do one time and I'll be able to get the salary that was the whole thing which kind of give me the motivation to leave the job because that time it got very tricky in the sense where so the thing as I said I was the only developer there literally only developer he whatever the funding was but the point being key it was very much dependent so when I told him I want to leave he was like you cannot and this and that you cannot leave in the pendula of the project and start he was like I'll write something in your other hardcard just do something we ended up after a few years we are now very at good terms but I'm just saying that time it was very hard so yeah that was me creating my first buy button which was the Chrome extension for group owners it was a very simple Chrome extension if you know about Facebook groups Facebook group have an option when you join it will ask you questions so a lot of people what they do is they'll ask email there so the extension was doing a very simple thing it was like a less than hundred lines of code you can literally run it on the console like if you know about console you can just run it there it will extract the text and put it inside Google sheet just that's all what it used to do and that is how I made my first and like the way I got my first sale was also very interesting in a way I recorded a video like this sitting here itself and I started I went to a Facebook group which was related to my niche so this was a Facebook group extension so there was a group for Facebook owners to learn how to grow their Facebook group so I went there and started messaging people videos if you send link you'll get banned and stop so I started sending a lot of people video of me that hey I have built this if you're interested reply one lady replied and I was like yeah I'm selling this and that she was like okay I'm interested send me the link I sent her a link it was seven dollars but that is how it happened so I feel a lot of people like even now I do this mistake by the way like I enjoy building that is something which you might do but if you're not going out there putting yourself there because I have talked with a lot of founders right they are doing very good revenue even then they'll be like oh I'm camera shy and this this dude was not looking good this dude didn't had a setup he didn't had a team to show I mean like the level even I'm shocked how I was even comfortable to do those kind of things I'll show you this is like literally like this is me when I'm launching another
