A $15,000 failure in timing, branding, and lack of tools

1 interview, 1 article and news about Failory

đź‘‹ Hey Failories! It's Nico over here.

It's December already! November was Failory's best month ever (around $4k in revenues, which is x2 of the previous months). The launch of our eBook about product-market fit was the main responsible for this.
