Meet Cedric, a college student who built PepAI (a peptide tracking app) which hit $50K in revenue in 7 weeks.
Before launch, he DM’d influencers in the niche and got them posting. The results:
300-person waitlist before launch
One Instagram story post = $1,000 in revenue
First real post hit 50K views = $4,000 in a single day
~$10K total revenue from that one creator
His take: marketing and distribution matter way more than the product. If you don’t have a plan to distribute it, don’t even build it.
