$420k/Year One-Person Business

Ben Tossell
  • Ben Tossell

  • Founder of Makerpad
  • $420,000 annual revenue

That was Makerpad, a “no-code education and community” that sold to Zapier a year ago.

Ben Tossell writes that he got Makerpad’s revenue to $35,000 per month as a solo founder working on the business part time, and without being able to code 🤯

His costs were apparently less than $500/month.

Ben’s advice to other entrepreneurs…

Get customers before worrying about scalability… It’s better to start small and be profitable than to build for scale.

In other words: don’t think too far ahead when you’re starting out. Getting your first customers is hard enough. Make sure you can do that consistently before planning months or years ahead.

Also from Ben

Thinking your first startup idea will succeed is like walking into a gym and hoping for a six-pack when you leave.
