I launched my affiliate tool for the first time on September 16, 2024.
It was called Referral Page back then.
Zero users, zero dollars. I thought maybe nobody needed it.
A few months later, I tried again. This time with a new name — Refgrow.
Still, only one client and $127 revenue after launch.
It felt slow. I started doubting if this idea was even worth it.
On April 7, 2025, I decided to give it one more serious shot.
I updated the product, changed some things based on feedback, and launched again.
That time I got 15 paying users and $5,136 in total revenue.
Today, Refgrow has $6,587 in total sales and 27 paying customers.
The truth is, progress was slow and there were plenty of moments where I wanted to give up or switch to something else. I took breaks. But each time I returned, there was still a problem worth solving, and the product kept moving forward.
I kept seeing the same pain point: founders don’t want external affiliate portals, they want something native and simple, built right into their own product.
I didn’t see any tool doing this the way I wanted, so I kept working on Refgrow.
Looking back, I’m glad I didn’t quit.
It’s still early, and I’m still figuring things out, but this is already further than I thought possible after that first zero-dollar launch.
If you’re in the same spot, maybe between launches or thinking about giving up, just know — sometimes it really is just about coming back and trying one more time.
