Who is Marc Lou?

Over the past two years, he launched 16 products, ranging from AI tools to various SaaS offerings.

Back in 2021, things were tough, he was feeling down, living with his parents, and had no income.

Then, he came across a tweet from Pieter Levels, who talked about the freedom of building startups with just a laptop and no employees.

That message really hit hard for Marc.

Inspired, he decided to make a big change.

He moved to Bali and started working tirelessly.

Marc pushed himself to show up every day, even when he didn’t feel like it.

Now, two years later, his determination has paid off.

He's successfully running 20 products and making $149K a month.

Marc's story is a testament to where perseverance can lead you.

Motivation

Freedom.

I want to make decisions about my startup, I want to wake up when my body is rested.

I don’t want to ask permission to go on holiday.

All the frustration pilled up from school is now my biggest source of motivation: I want to be free.

In 2021, I was depressed, living with my parents and 0 income. One day, I saw a tweet from Pieter Levels, a guy building startups with a laptop and no employee — Freedom.

Marc successfully launched his new app, ShipFast, on several platforms, including Product Hunt, Twitter, and Hacker News.

The launch on Product Hunt turned out to be the most successful, attracting 3,000 visitors within the first 48 hours.

On Twitter, where he has a sizable following, Marc employed a unique strategy to boost engagement.

He created a skit video, which often helped his tweets go viral, and crafted catchy headlines that challenged the status quo, grabbing the attention of his audience and encouraging more interaction.

Additionally, Marc uses Reddit to list his products, effectively driving initial customer engagement.
