How my SaaS app made it's first 100$ in revenue

So, how did Profiolio make it's first $100 in revenue? It wasn’t some grand marketing campaign or months of planning. In fact, it took me just 3 weeks to build the app and hit that milestone. Here’s how we did it.

Build Fast and Focus on What Matters
I spent a little over 2 weeks building Profiolio, keeping things simple and focused on helping SaaS founders analyze their ideas with key metrics. No fluff, just the essentials.

Launch on Product Hunt
Once I had Built the app, I launched on Product Hunt the day after. It gave me some early visibility and brought in a few curious users.

Engage on Reddit
The real magic happened on Reddit. I spent about a week or 2 writing helpful posts in SaaS-related subreddits. Instead of trying to sell, I just offered value and, at the end of each post, subtly mentioned Profiolio and how it could help. People took notice.

The Result
After two weeks of engaging on Reddit and getting feedback from users, we hit our first $100 in revenue. It wasn’t a huge number, but it showed that building something useful, launching it well, and connecting with your audience can generate real results quickly.
