I'm 30 solo founder from France 🇫🇷 no job, no freelancing, no client work just me grinding daily since April 2025, when I started here with: - 10 followers - 0 network - 0 post / 0 photo/video of myself online - 0 product built By the end of 2025 I – created my company – posted on X, LK, Reddit, TikTok for the first time – recorded myself in English – posted guitar playing videos + BiP videos – launched my first SaaS (8 live now) – made my first internet money – traveled outside of Europe – jumped on calls with strangers you might know me as the guy who branded the Mac he didn't have yet (maybe that's what will remain lol), so here's more about me, hoping it inspires you: I always wanted to be a game dev but was rubbish in maths/physics, failed, and ended up getting a Master's degree in English studies (with a research paper on AI, that already seems so outdated lol) then complete shift to web dev, started from zero → one year later I was creating a web app for a huge British company as a solo, fullstack dev that's mostly what's still helping me finance my journey, even though I've just been burning savings every single month since anyway that contract ended in April 2025 ; I was going to do freelancing, but I found this indie community here and started watching @marclou's vlogs I had no idea where to start but I still started I've never loved coding, I've only ever loved creating stuff thanks to it - and that's what I'm addicted to 🎸 I play guitar (got my first one 20 years ago) 🎶 I've recorded probably more than a hundred songs over the last 15 years 🎮 I love gaming, I used to spend 10 hours a day not coding but playing, not much time anymore now (toxic trait: I believe I could've turned pro on CoD4) 🖥️ Now creating things online, from SaaS to web apps to mobile apps to random tools to games (I even ranked #51 / 900+ in the VibeJam) and now going all-in on the https://t.co/kfYZd264dY marketplace "I haven't got THE product that could help me blow up and that would make me want to focus on 100%" - that's what I said on my birthday 10 months ago ; but now I do!!! this BrandMyMac auction has completely changed my journey in the span of a few days it's the first time I felt, while building it, "I know this is a banger, it's obvious it can work, it must already exist" the rest is history: ✅ 13M views in 2 weeks (10.3M with one post) ✅ +3k followers in the last 2 weeks ✅ unlocked monetisation on X and got paid $1,300 ✅ I made $15k in 3 weeks = I made $16k over the last 1.5 years (different perspective right?) ✅ started the whole "BrandMy..." trend all that took +14k posts, 8 SaaS & 2 mobile apps that kinda flopped ($200 MRR all combined atm), a crazy amount of reps (made 100 daily vlogs then stopped cos they felt useless) if you think I pulled that recent money, impressions, success or whatever out of nowhere, you're wrong. and it's not your fault there's no way for you to know what it took to get to that point and this is the point of this post, might as well re-introduce myself to the new 3k followers (welcome and thanks), instead of just saying "let's connect" lol anyway, grateful for all these moments, your support, and the amazing people I've met 🙏🏼 and I'm proud for starting this journey, believing in myself, and challenging myself more than ever still long way to go before being able to chill out making revenue passively 💪🏼 thank you all ❤ (some posts illustrating my journey below 👇🏼)
