A story about Tony Dinh: $30k MMR from Open AI API-Based SaaS

Tony Dinh managed to reach $30k/month from SaaS Based Open AI.

In this first post about SaaS, I want to share an inspiring story from one of the IndieHackers named TonyDin, a developer from Vietnam.

The story of the beginning

If you’re not familiar with the term “IndieHacker”, an Indie Hacker is an individual who builds and launches a business or product independently, without the support of a large organization or team. Indie Hackers are usually driven by their own ideas, passions, and interests, and are committed to building and launching their own product or business.

Tony Dinh, quoting from his Twitter, has tried to build several SaaS. His journey started in 2021 when he was first unemployed after resigning from the company he worked for.

It wasn’t always smooth, but of course, among the many things he tried, there were definitely some that worked. The cool language is the probability of trying something :).

Talking about the probability of success of an experiment, Disney also has a story. Of the 500 films Disney produced, only a few were successful and that covered the cost of the failure of the other films.

I’ve been a fan of Tony Dinh for a long time from Twitter. Tony Dinh has the principle of “building SaaS/MVP” in a maximum of a week. And that’s exactly what he did.
