Key Takeaways

They turned their own resume headache into Resumey.Pro, then leveled up with StoryCV using an AI interview flow that feels like a real writer. Fast validation on Product Hunt, a quick paywall, and free channels like directories, SEO, and AI search drove 8,000+ users and $1,000+ MRR.

Actionable Takeaways:

  • Place your paywall where users hit peak value using the Value Proposition Canvas.
  • Prep Product Hunt: line up 20 to 30 supporters, tight screenshots, a 30 second demo, and a one line hook.
  • Submit to directories with UTM tags, to drive traffic and keep track of sign ups.
  • Ship resume templates around job title keywords to win long tail SEO.
  • Enable AI crawlers and track ChatGPT and Perplexity as referral sources.
  • Post personal stories on LinkedIn where your ICP lives, not just with builders on X.
