Here's a thread of Wojak memes that will teach first time founders how to be a successful entrepreneurs.
Thinking that you're above sales or that people will just show up at your app is a classic first time founder mistake...
You must learn to sell!

I see this one all the time in e-commerce, even from experienced entrepreneurs who are doing millions in sales.
When I first started as an entrepreneur I was obsessed with intelligence.
That was stupid and my early employees were smarter than I was in ways I couldn't see.

There are complex strategies using freemium models that are long-term profitable, but save that for the second company you found.
Usually, a freemium model just means you lack the courage to ask people to pay, fearing rejection.
Free media is great if you can get it, but more often than not, it will not drive sales.
The first time I was in Tech Crunch I basically nutted, but it did nothing for my bottom line.
Raising money isn't a success, it's a burden that dilutes your later exit & income.
This one is the number 1 mistake I see first time founders make.
They get stuck in analysis paralysis.
This is the first time you found, you have no idea what you're doing.
Best way to learn is to just start.
(I didn't make this one btw)
Keep it simple everyone.
And ignore the losers on hacker news.
