Closed our first $4,000/m Client!
How my TinyUI tweet ($25 service) resulted in getting our first $4,000/m PRO subscription for http://baked.design?
People always ask me, why build so many projects? My answer to that is, why not? Build projects which complement each other and help promote your work in a unique way.
That's what we did with getbaked, indie design kit, AI design kit, Tailwind CSS kit, baked design & TinyUI. These services help us grow and cater to a wide range of audiences from indie hackers to enterprises.
TinyUI only ever made $125 in revenue, but everyone loved the marketing landing page, which resulted in 100k impressions, 3k unique visitors with a pretty bad conversion rate. But, it reached audiences beyond our reach within days and we were able to generate quality leads for http://baked.design.
Our first PRO customer saw the TinyUI tweet and decided to book a call with us on http://baked.design. Paid for the service 5 mins after the call, this sounds so easy and simple. But this took 5 months of constantly designing things for free or less money to create a brand for ourselves.
Most of all, it took week's worth of complete re-design of http://baked.design from my co-founder @aliszu, she single handled took up the job to make our design service stand out, it was her idea to start a design startup plan https://baked.design/subscription-for-startups
My advice is not to be afraid of starting smaller projects which complement your main project. Build things and enjoy your journey along the way!

This is a really cool concept, thanks for sharing - might try the same subscription model for software engineering while I work to get other business ideas off the ground. I imagine one of the benefits of this model is that people might not use up all the 10 change requests you promise them in a month, meaning they're paying for a service you didn't even need to render => few hours worked for $$$$$
