I used to think marketing was: “Make an ad. Run it. Get customers.” Now I know it's: Make 10 creatives. Test them. Kill 7. Improve 2. Double down on 1. Marketing is an experiment loop. #BuildInPublic #Marketing #Startup

I started building HairOver in public to get users. I didn’t expect it to bring: – Customers – Feedback – Connections – Collaborations – New opportunities Every week, something unexpected happens. Still figuring things out. Still building. Still sharing. Maybe that’s the real power of building in public.

The first customer felt unreal. The second one felt different. It means the first payment wasn't just luck. Someone else found enough value in HairOver to pay for it. $63 MRR → $100 MRR. #BuildInPublic #IndieHacker

Never expected building HairOver in public would lead to so many opportunities. – New users – Customer feedback – Founder conversations – Collaboration offers – People following the journey Every week. Honestly, some days it’s overwhelming. I started sharing because I wanted to build an audience. I didn’t realize I’d also build a network along the way. Funny how building one small product in public can open doors you never planned for.

Customer #2. $63 MRR. Still tiny. But two people have now pulled out their wallets for something I built. That's enough proof to keep going. Next: $100 MRR. #BuildInPublic #Startup

Day #14 of building the BEST AI Hairstyles Finder @hairover_app 1,600+ downloads. 50 reviews. 2 paid users. $63 MRR. A tiny start, but a real one. I’ve spent years building for others. Now I’m trying to build something of my own. I don’t need overnight success. I need momentum. #BuildInPublic #Founder #Startup

Day #14 of building BEST AI Hairstyle Finder @hairover_app Our time has completely shifted from building to distribution. Videos. UGC. Images. Copy. Meta Ads. Social platforms. Building the product was one challenge. Now I’m learning how to get it in front of the right people. #BuildInPublic #Startup #Marketing

Customer #2 just subscribed to Hairover. We're now at $63 MRR. $63 isn't life-changing. But a stranger paid for something I built. Then another did. That's proof. Next: $100 MRR. #BuildInPublic #IndieHacker

Day #13 of building BEST AI Hairstyle Finder. Today I’m fully focused on UGC videos for HairOver. I’ve tried Claude, Gemini, Google Flow, and several other tools. Still experimenting. Still not getting the perfect result I’m looking for. If you’ve figured out a good UGC workflow, I’d love to hear it. I’ll share my first proper UGC video soon. Let’s see how good we can make it. #BuildInPublic #UGC #AI

Founder mode is weird. Yesterday: writing code. Today: generating videos, writing copy, creating ads, checking analytics and studying user behavior. Tomorrow? Probably something completely different. Building a startup means wearing every hat. #BuildInPublic #Founder #Startup

This is what building a startup looks like behind the scenes. Not just code. → Videos. → AI generations. → Ad creatives. → Marketing experiments. → Analytics. → More experiments. The work nobody sees is usually the work that moves the product forward. #BuildInPublic #Startup #IndieHacker

You can spend weeks building a product. Then spend even more time trying to get someone to care about it. That’s where I am right now. Building was the first game. Distribution is the next. #BuildInPublic #Founder #StartupValidation

Founders see every detail. Users see the outcome. Don't build for the work you put in. Build for the value they get out. #BuildInPublic #Product #Founder

Building a product teaches you how to create. Running a startup teaches you how to get noticed. Both are completely different skills. #BuildInPublic #Startup #Founder
