Don't give up and believe what you want, you will slowly but eventually reach your goal.

Launch plan is the half the battle, sticking along the path and surviving the long winds of winter is the real test while you dream for the spring to come.

Though all these months, even when I was busy adding features, fixing bugs, trying different ways to monetize it and rooting to win golden kitty award (lost by 4 votes 😝), I never lost sight of what's important, the USER growth.

What I now understand is if you are creating b2c product on web, the only thing you need focus on is SEO and visalist.io is the live example for me.

For a mobile developer who just started with web, building a SSR web app, improving the performance, learning and implementing SEO and now learning AdOps, all have been my personal achievements.

I never thought learning new things is so much fun once your get a hang of it.

Having success is nice but what is great is having goals and sticking to achieve those goals. Before I started building visalist.io, I set a goal of 5K/m and kept working towards my goal. This I believe is the reason behind this success.

I may not have achieved this success for this project but with problem goals I will , if not now, but eventually will see some success. Believe it!

Also 5k / m is 2.5% of 200k that I estimated to be the whole potential traffic for visa related searches which I'm wrong by leaps and bounds and so glad that I was wrong 😬. Having small achievable goals is the key. Once you reach those you can keep increasing.
