$2,000 MRR in 6 months with a LinkedIn outreach tool

In episode 007, Jonathan Lis explains how he reached about $2,000 a month in revenue six months in with ZenMode, a LinkedIn outreach tool he built by himself with Claude Code, and got three paying customers on launch day. We talk about building a tool for his own sales job first, building in public on Reddit to grow a waitlist before launch, offering a lifetime deal before a monthly subscription, and adding a $15 a month plan.

Stuff we talk about

• Building a tool to help you in your own job, then selling it to others
• Build the waitlist, not the product: building in public on Reddit before launch
• Offering a lifetime deal first, not a subscription
• Adding a $15 a month plan for people who only want basic automation
• Keeping LinkedIn accounts safe with a desktop app and human pacing
• Raising a pre-seed round to spend more on marketing and distribution
