2 weeks in, $639 in revenue

It's been 2 weeks since I launched 30 Days of Startup Frameworks and it's brought in $639 in revenue so far. This was my first time hitting my goal of "can I make money from strangers on the internet?" While not a home run (yet), I'm pleased at accomplishing this!

Here are a few of the tactics I've used to grow sales:

Twitter: Posted on a few threads, got picked up and retweeted by a few accounts. These efforts alone drove $300+ in sales.

Product Hunt: I launched last week and was on the front page all day (thanks to fellow IH's that upvoted me). This was the day that Zoom launched Zapps and Loom launched their rebrand so it was suuuuper competitive. Needless to say, I didn't make top 5. BUT I was in the top 20 and on the front page all day with 250+ upvotes. It was also the highest performing product in the education category for the week. $174 in sales can be attributed to PH.

Affiliate: I connected with one affiliate and paid $200 to post out in 70+ different sources. The sales that resulted from that was only $116 so that investment is still a loss unless things pick up there.

What would you do next? For a product like this, does it make sense to explore Instagram or Reddit ads and run tests there?
