Hello everyone, I’m Hari, and I’m a serial Microstartup Maker. In the last 4 years, I made:

• https://visalist.io, an all-in-one visa requirements website for travelers with 300K Monthly Active users

• https://anexplorer.co, an all-one File manager for phones, watches, TV's and tablets on android with crossed 1M downloads recently

• https://acrypto.io, a cryptocurrency app to track and get real-time alerts with 200K downloads

• https://simpleops.io, performance, web vitals and API monitoring tool for websites with 2000 users

I started my indie maker journey to become financially independent and travel the world. I had a simple and small goal, build things I wanna use and make $100/day. It started slow, I had started building and improving while traveling, it took a while but I crossed $100, then I crossed $200/day. Then pandemic hit and I went back to $100/day, but after 6 months and building a new microstartup, it slowly picked pace and again crossed $200/day then I crossed $300/day, now I'm close to $400/day and my next goal is $500/day.

If the momentum keeps up, I will hit $150K this year.
