I’m Nik, I built a no-code hiring platform from $0 to $80K MRR and achieved 30% MoM. AMA!

I wanted to create products fast and affordable. Several years ago I lost $300K on building a product that never has been released (a platform for managing crypto assets). That’s how WeLoveNoCode started. I created a platform to find a no-code developer in one click, share a project and get it developed in weeks, not years and for a very reasonable price. After 6 months of 24/7 work on WeLoveNoCode we achieved super cool growth: 🚀 $80K MRR 💸 30% MoM 🌟 profitable from day one and keep growing 🏆 super happy that WLNC was #1 on Product Hunt. I also closed a seed round recently and might have more cool news soon :) Before WeLoveNoCode, I built 15+ no-code apps myself and went via 500 Startups with another company. My main credo: more work, fewer words. Outside of work I enjoy reading books and working remotely. Excited to share all my experience and help other makers grow! AMA 🔮 I'd be happy to answer questions on growth, product building, no code, hiring, fundraising, remote work...

Awesome job with WeLoveNoCode! My query - How can I choose which Nocode app to use for my needs? On what basis?
Nik Shevchenko
Omi
@mehak_samaiya hello Mehak! Thanks for coming by!
Nik Shevchenko
Omi
@mehak_samaiya As a general rule: try to move fast & lean with whatever you are building. You don’t need to spend weeks on choosing “the best no code tool”. For almost every task you will find some tool. For example, we support a stack of 100+ no-code tools. If you would try to evaluate each of them (even for 30 min), it's already a 50h (almost 2 weeks).

@mehak_samaiya So, for a scale of your side project, I would really recommend you to chose from the popular tools. Those are great: to make landing Tilda, Wix, Squarespace, Carrd, Bubble, Webflow to make mobile app Adalo, Glideapps, Bravo Studio Apps Internal automation Notion, Airtable, Coda, Zapier easy payments BuyMeACoffee, Gumroad, Stripe to send emails Mailchimp, SendGrid At WeLoveNoCode you don’t need to choose the tooling, you just tell what you want us to build. I won’t stop repeating that no code is cheaper, faster, and simpler.
Nik Shevchenko

@mehak_samaiya Your basis for choosing no-code tools are the following: - learning curve - support (especially, if you are new to no code) - technical capabilities - price

@kodjima33 Inspired by your journey and happy to work with you! Any tips for the new founder on starting a company?
Nik Shevchenko
Omi
@marina_shamova Thanks so much for all your support, always.

@marina_shamova You should start a company *if* you are super passionate about the problem you want to solve. Running your company is a 24/7 job. If you are not obsessed with the idea, it won’t work.
Nik Shevchenko
Omi
@marina_shamova A few tips for everyone who wants to start a company: - focus on speed - do more, talk less - track your metrics from the day 0 - always run user interviews and listen to users - hire the best possible people, if you can’t ask for their advice

Hello fellow maker! How did you begin your journey and why have you chosen this problem to solve?
Nik Shevchenko

@onmyway133 Thanks for asking, Khoa! I saw your apps on Product Hunt. Great job! PastePal 2.0 is neat.

@onmyway133 To answer your question: I'm a second-time founder. My first company I started five years ago (I wanted to build a platform for managing crypto assets and trading on several crypto exchanges). It only resulted in me spending something like $300,000 and three years of my life on it. My development process was not very successful, which resulted in constant switching from one software development team to another. The end of this story is sad - that product never became live. Afterward, I joined a 500 Startups accelerator program with another company which I sold. During my time at 500 Startups, I learned about no code and finally felt the freedom of building products fast and by myself. ​​Oh my god, this was so cool! I felt that I needed to tell as many people as possible about this opportunity. That’s how I started with WeLoveNoCode.

@kodjima33 Awesome to hear. 80k MRR is a huge number. Just upvoted your product on PH

@onmyway133 thanks Knoa! It think, we were just lucky to find PMF :)
Nik Shevchenko
Omi
@onmyway133 oh, wow, you also did WWDC!
Alex Kukharenko
Hello Nik! I have many ideas but I’m not a developer (hey from designers 👋). Any tips on what I can build with no code?
Nik Shevchenko
Omi
@alexdeardream thanks so much for joining my AMA!
Nik Shevchenko
Omi
@alexdeardream You can build almost everything :) No code is very powerful. With it you can build something as simple as a new landing page in Webflow, design portfolio in Carrd, web-platform in Bubble, mobile app in Adalo or automation in Zapier. You can also connect APIs, build internal tooling to automate routine tasks or even create a VR app. You are limited only by your imagination.
Shohit Raina
Nik, happy to see you here. I’m curious how welovenocode works?
Nik Shevchenko
Omi
@shohit_raina Shohit, happy to have you here as well.
Nik Shevchenko
Omi
@shohit_raina WeLoveNocode works like magic — in a few clicks you are getting a no-code developer who will make your idea a reality: 1) You visit the website (https://welovenocode.com/) and sign up to WLNC 2) You submit your idea, MVP description, project or task and instantly get a no-code developer partner 3) You track the development progress 4) And we release your project together. Try it :)

Hi Nik, that's impressive! What are your most important channels to find new users in the no-code space?
Nik Shevchenko
Omi
@marie_martens Marie thanks for joining my AMA! Tally product looks very interesting. I see you are working in the no-code space as well. Our marketing was kind of secondary, compering to defining users' needs. We spot user problems and value prop: fast, affordable, simple no-code development, which gives users ready product. All this in weeks. Regarding channels for no-code: it really depends on your persona. Some no-code tools, like forms can be used in a very big companies by specific teams (design team, marketing team). While others, like WeLoveNoCode are best for fast MVP creation for smaller teams. So our channels are: social media ads Google ads Product Hunt
Nik Shevchenko
Omi
@marie_martens I believe that it all starts with product-market fit. If you see it, you will have growth and your marketing channels will work. If there is no PMF, even the best paid traffic won't work because the product doesn't solve a real nead.
Marie Martens
Tally
Thanks a lot for elaborating @kodjima33! I definitely agree on the PMF. Our growth has been organic and we haven't spend money on ads yet, so interesting to see how it worked out for you guys!
Vlas Babinets
If I build something with NoCode or LowCode can my product usage be limited?
Nik Shevchenko
Omi
@new_user_294840ab29 No. In terms of users for the projects we are building, NoCode tools are not limited. I have seen apps with 200,000+ users.
Sean Catangui
Thanks for doing an AMA! Great project! I don’t actually understand how your 7 days trial version works.
Nik Shevchenko
Omi
@sean_catangui thanx, Happy to explain. Our 7-Days Trial is a full-fledged week of NoCode development, without any limitations or obligations. You can submit any tasks you want us to do: landing pages, mobile apps, web apps, automation, design, and so on. We will assign you a developer within a few hours after you submit the task, then the development process will start immediately. Besides the development, you’ll be able to get an estimation roadmap for your project. Our main goal for a trial is to demonstrate what a NoCode developer can achieve within a week.
Anastasia
How can I become your no code dev?
Nik Shevchenko
Omi
@new_user_47c42ccb06 Happy that you are considering becoming a code developer! Yes, you can start learning in our academy - https://academy.welovenocode.com/ or join courses from no code tools. Ideally, if you will be able to work on some real projects right away. It can be your side-projects or freelance
Nik Shevchenko
Omi
@new_user_47c42ccb06 you can also join our courses if you want to learn with us we have 200 hours of different courses recorded in the four different no code platforms like Bubble, AirTable, Tilda, Webflow and many, many more. We educate people and after that, we connect them with companies.
Serhii Bohdan
