Zero Followers To $1 Million To Profitable Startup With John Hu & Vitalii Dodonov
John Hu and Vitalii Dodonov are the co-founders of Stan. Stan is the simplest way to start an online business used by over 60,000 creators. Over the past 3 years, they've grown to $30M ARR profitably and have front row seats to what's happening in the creator economy.
In this podcast, we break down exactly how to grow an audience with zero followers, how to monetize your one-person business, and advice on how to take the next step into building a startup. We talk hiring A players, how they plan to build a $1b company with 10 engineers, and more nuanced advice.

How I Made $6.9 Million Writing 2 Hours A Day
If you've been here a while, you know this is pretty much a re-recording of a previous video. There's a reason for that: to show that by doing this for multiple years, the results start to compound. In my first year I made around $10,000 (outside of previous freelancing). Year two was $100k, then $150k, then $800k (previous video), then ~$4m, then a little under $2m (because I split traffic to a new business).
While there are actionable parts of this video, I want the main lesson to be this: iterate on a system, in a high leverage area, for multiple years, not a few weeks.
