B2B sales are lucrative. They can generate 1000x as much revenue as B2C sales. 🤑
But for most indie hackers, sales is scary. Selling to businesses is SUPER scary.
This thread shows you exactly how I closed my first $10k of B2B sales as an indie dev.
🔥 FIVE SIMPLE LESSONS. 👇
First, let me present my credentials. 💼
I quit my job at Google to become full-time indie hacker 6 months ago.
When I quit, I had $500 MRR from https://t.co/HdPMTm4vtn, an app for nerds who play Pathfinder (a game like Dungeons & Dragons).
It took 3 years to get that far. 🙃
Fast forward 6 months. I still have $500 MRR from Spell Tracker.
But in January, I closed my first $10k ARR of B2B revenue from https://t.co/crGFxRCt0g! 🙌
And I'm not slowing down. I'm on a rocket ship, and it looks like I'll hit ramen profitability before the end of March. 🍜
HOW DID I TURN IT AROUND? 🤔
When I worked at Google I was a partner engineer who advised businesses on YouTube's rights management system.
4 months after I quit, I got calls from businesses I'd advised. They asked me to do some consulting.
I had no deadlines, so why not?
It turns out they both had the same problem... a problem I'd already solved repeatedly inside Google.
Within 3 weeks, my new product was born.
