Got my first $15/month subscriber after 3 months of building Cascade!
Weeks of planning, building features, fixing bugs, and figuring out how to market something I made. Going back and forth between improving the product and trying to explain why someone should use it.
Cascade helps music producers turn their beats into visuals they can post on social media. Today, someone decided it was worth paying for.
$15 is a small start, but seeing that first subscription felt big after months of work.
I’m trying to learn as much as I can from it: what brought them in, what made them upgrade, and whether Cascade becomes something they keep using for their next beat.
My focus now is talking to that customer, making the path from uploading a beat to exporting a video smoother, and understanding which marketing efforts bring in producers who actually need this.
One subscriber is an encouraging signal. Now I want to understand what worked and earn the next one.
For anyone who’s been here: what did your first paying customer teach you, and what did you focus on afterward?
