Charged money on day one. Best decision I made.

Everyone says build an audience first, monetize later. I put a $9 price up before I had any users. Got 4 customers the first month. Tiny — but those 4 told me more than 400 free signups would. Free users tell you what's nice. Paying users tell you what's necessary.

this works even better if you pair it with a tight feedback loop.

would add: talking to users early beats almost everything else.
