About 4 weeks ago I launched Motionfly, and it somehow already reached 500 users and around $330 MRR.

I know those numbers are still small compared to bigger SaaS companies, but this is the first time I’ve built something that real strangers consistently use and pay for.

A few things that helped:

• Shipping fast instead of overthinking every feature
• Posting consistently on Reddit and other communities
• Talking to users directly and shipping improvements quickly
• Focusing heavily on distribution instead of only coding
• Making the product easy to try immediately

One thing I learned quickly is that distribution is harder than building the actual product.

Most of the growth came organically from content, communities, and people sharing Motionfly. I barely spent anything on ads.

Still early, but getting the first paying users completely changed how I think about building products.

Happy to answer questions about growth, mistakes, or what worked.

Motionfly is a product launch/demo videos generator tool for indie hackers like me.

The title says it all.

Me as a developer only know about very small number of niches to apply AI on. That is why I am working a saas called motionfly to help other devs build a quick product launch video in seconds.

From what you see, what is that ugly market that can make someone a billionaire through AaaS(AI as a service)?
