Erikas made $3.4M in 2024 with 0 marketing

This guy made $3.4M in 2024 and did 0 marketing. I met Erikas @malisauskasLT at a meetup in Paris and his story blew my mind... In 2016, he was building Shopify websites as a freelancer. He was making enough money not to stress about it but felt the itch to build a product where his income wouldn't be tied to his input. In 2018, he started building tiny startups with his co-founder. None of them really took off but they made just enough money to sell & repeat. In 2021, they focused on Shopify apps. The 1st app took off and paid more than the bills ($6.5K MRR at peak). They sold it in 2023 for $250K and built a new app with all the experience acquired. In 2024, their 2nd app grew to a 6-figure MRR (in a year 🤯) How? Shopify recommends the app to its customers because it has excellent ratings. Free, organic, and high-converting marketing channel. Erikas' story is the perfect reminder that: - You can make money even if you hate marketing—leverage app stores and build a killer app - Pivot when things don't take off after a while - Patience and daily grind are king Go build that idea!
