Stop Building Useless Sh*t For Real

There is a post trending in this Subreddit saying you should stop building stuff nobody cares about, and it’s 100% true.

I also spent months building products nobody wanted. Four products, to be exact. Each one was a complete flop. No users, no sales, nothing. For my second product, I even made it completely FREE for 2 hours. I was literally sitting there, refreshing my database every minute, sweating bullets thinking, "Oh shit, what if too many people grab the free version?"

You know what happened?

Zero. Fucking. Signups. 😭😂

Not one single person. I was worried about getting flooded with users when I couldn’t even get ONE. 😂 And yeah, it's embarrassing to talk about, but honestly, it was a wake-up call. It made me realize: Nobody cares about your product. (Or maybe it just sucked. Or both lol)

The next two project where the same. Though, to be honest, my heart wasn’t really in them. I was just building random stuff, hoping it would work somehow.

Then came project number 5, DontPostYet. The difference this time was that I built something I actually needed. I found a problem that pissed me off, saw there wasn’t a solution, and decided to build one myself. Simple as that. I talked to users, built the MVP in a week, posted it, and boom, I made my first sale just two days later.

A month in, and we’re almost at 20 sales. It’s not life-changing money yet, but it’s proof that solving real problems works. And if I can sell 20, I know I can sell 1000.

That’s it. Stop building random shit if you want to make money. Maybe build something you need. It works way better than guessing what strangers might want.
