intereting to see searches for Notion is higher than Google Doc 🤯

Why this works:
I stay focused on what I'm best at (distribution)
Each co-founder focuses on their strength (building)
Shared risk, shared reward
5x the learning, 5x the opportunities

This partnership model changed everything:
I handle distribution
Co-founder handles building
We both share product decisions
We both care about building great products.
We both win when users win.
This lets me invest in acquisition channels across 5 projects instead of spreading thin on 1.

Once product-market fit hits, I focus on sustainable growth:
Word of mouth
Referrals
SEO
Organic virality
Ads
The stuff that compounds while you sleep.

My growth strategy: start small, validate hard.
> Build in public on X
> DM potential users individually and talk
> Get friends to test
> Beta customers
> If they stick AND pay = dig deeper
Big launches are flashy. Retention is everything.

And all my current projects are focused on what I love the most:
Distribution.
It changed my business.
And I know it has the potential to change other businesses too.

My philosophy is simple: solve problems I actually have.
I'm a creator, solo entrepreneur, and small business owner - so I build tools for people exactly like me.
If I use it daily and it makes my life better, there's a market for it.

As building becomes easier and easier.
Tech as a moat will evaporate.
So what remains?
The trust and distribution you have.
And I want to build products to enable everyone to have that distribution.

But doing 5 products is tough.
I realised the problem wasn't my ideas - it was my approach.
In 2024, I stopped trying to only focus on good features and instead focus most of my attention on a new thing:
Distribution.

Before we go further: where does the $50m number come from?
My goal:
5 products each doing $100k MRR
$1.2m ARR per product * 5 = $6m ARR
With an 8x multiple, that's a $50m portfolio
(I don't own 100% of it though)

100,000 creators who:
> Know me
> Trust me
> Pay attention
And know that I make cool products for creators.
I wanted to double down.

What followed was a 1 year long journey scaling to 100k+ MRR and getting acquired.
2 years of payout later, we had an $8m payout.
Side win: I gained 100,000 followers in the process.
This was my advantage.

We had only 1 rule: All products for creators
The first 10 products failed. Bad.
No real traction. A few small wins, nothing significant.
Until the 11th.

We hit $500 MRR quickly, we had something.

After 2 failed startups, years of doing things wrong, and burnout - I went back at it in 2021.
This time, in public.
We sat together with Tom - launched 1 product every week, and scaled what worked.
What we did differently:
We talked about our products on Twitter ..
