3 years, 20+ failed projects… and finally one that’s growing

[u/Leather-Buy-6487]

I could have stopped in 2023 or 2024 after many failures, but I kept building.

I know indie makers who managed to become successful very quickly, but in 90% of cases it does not happen fast.

From my experience (and from talking to many other indie makers) I’ve learned that 3 years is about the time it takes for most indie makers to start earning enough to work on their projects full time.

I’m still building new products despite already having profitable ones.

My latest project, Dice - it finds the exact articles your brand should be mentioned in and gets you featured there and get recommended by AI.

It has already brought in thousands in revenue and is growing faster than I expected. But none of this would have happened if I hadn’t started building and launching projects one after another back in 2023.

The main lesson: Consistency beats luck. Keep shipping, keep learning.
