We just crossed $1M in ARR with Publer! 🚀

An overnight success: 12 years and 30 days to build a million-dollar business.

While I don't use IndieHackers as much, this community has helped me get through my lowest point.

As soon as I get some free time, I will sit down and write/talk about this journey.

Feel free to ask me anything in the comments below.

For now, here's how it began:

While studying at The University of Texas at Austin, I started designing custom Facebook HTML tabs for fun/practice and eventually as a $100 paid service.

My first client was one of my classmates, so I offered a 20% discount.

𝘍𝘶𝘯 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵: 𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘳, 𝘐 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘢 $𝟤𝟢 𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥.

Being a student, I probably bought myself a nice meal with half of the money and saved this bill as a reminder of the early days.

As my school motto says: "𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙!" 🤘🏻
