His “Not Good Enough” Project Earned $20K in 3 Months

Sergey Karakhanyan from Armenia 🇦🇲 is the guy behind Larafast, a boilerplate code template that helps founders launch their apps faster.

He recently posted about the success of the project on Reddit…

• From $0 to $20K in Just 3 Months

📝 Sergey writes…

I was initially afraid to launch this kind of product, you know, imposter syndrome, blah blah, what if my code is not good enough, what if people don’t like it?

Then I convinced myself – “Man, you have 10 years of experience in the field, come on…”

He eventually poured his experience into creating Larafast and…

I started to talk about it on X and Reddit, sharing about the progress, about the marketing tricks I did. At first, I didn’t expect to have many sales.

The first sale came 10 days from the launch. It was during the night, out of nowhere.

That gave him the confidence to “push harder” 💪

In terms of marketing, aside from building in public…

One of the best sales channels for me was to find niche blogs and newsletters and sponsor them. Find a niche blog, contact them and ask for cooperation – you’ll not regret it.

🚀 With that, Sergey’s project took off…

The first sale I had for Larafast was on February 28. Doing all the things from above, on May 28 Larafast hit $20K in sales. 

People love it. It helped a lot of people create their MVP’s [Minimum Viable Product] in less than a week.

A great example of someone not letting self-doubt win!

I also like how Sergey created a product “to help people launch projects faster.”

What could you create to help people launch something faster? 🧐

Could be a book, a course, a done-for-you service… anything really that can help speed up people’s journey from A to B.
