Hey it’s Pat from Starter Story,

I’ve been talking a lot about why you need to distribute your ideas to the world.

Contrary to popular belief:

If you build it, they won't come.

Today: 5 businesses that figured out distribution

And got paying customers fast.

Take some notes. You don’t wanna miss the details :)

Welcome to Sunday Breakfast!

1. The Orange Juice 🍊

He made $65K from a biz he built in 15 days

So this guy has shipped over 40 projects in his life.

But almost none of them hit until he started distributing his ideas.

So he built his next product in 15 days and shared it all over Twitter.

Within ONE day he had paying customers.

And in the last 8 months, he’s made over $65K and quit his FT job.

Perfect example of why you have to keep shipping and sharing your work.

2. The Coffee ☕

This simple side project replaced his salary

This dude had an annoying problem at his job:

He took screenshots and edited them for hours.

He hated doing this!

Like any good entrepreneur, he said:

There’s gotta be a better way

So in literally 3 days, he built his own screenshot app.

He launched on Twitter and ProductHunt and… well… it got traction!

Today he makes over $48K per year with 95% profit.

3. The Eggs 🍳

He makes $3.6M/year generating QR codes

This founder had a failed startup and was looking for his next idea.

He spotted a tiny trend and decided to build a product in it.

The only problem? Nobody believed in his idea.

But he had some paying customers, so he decided to just keep distributing his ideas in public.

And when Covid and changed the world, he was actually able to grow his business.

Today he does $300K per month 🤯

This is a really in-depth case study. Tons of data and lessons.

4. The Toast 🥪

This website does ONE thing and makes $12M/year

I think the best businesses solve one painful problem.

This guy spent hours on photoshop trying to design logos and images.

But it was too hard to use.

There HAS to be an easier way.

So he decided to build a product that does just one thing: designs logos.

He built a library of over 10,000 logo templates.

And today he gets over 29 million users per year.

Just insane…

5. The Pancakes 🥞

The $4M SaaS nobody knows about

Almost every industry has a backbone that nobody knows about.

There are systems and processes every business HAS to use.

That’s exactly what this guy did.

He spotted an opportunity in the real estate industry.

And built a SaaS tool that almost every real estate agent HAS to use.

He grew it to $4M ARR and is eating up 10% of the market.

This is far from a boring business.

That's it!

I hope you have the best Sunday, and are getting ready for a great week ahead!
