One-Person Company: How I Ship Product Updates Daily as a Solo Dev

#solopreneur #indiehacker #saas #startup

The OPC (One Person Company) movement is real. Here is how I manage everything alone.

Daily Routine

Morning (1h): Check analytics, review payments, deploy fixes.

Afternoon (2h): Feature development, push to Gitee, auto-deploy.

Evening (30min): Write content, check SEO, plan next day.

Tools I Use

  1. Vercel - Push code, it deploys automatically
  2. Google Search Console - Free SEO analytics
  3. PayPal.Me - No payment gateway to maintain
  4. Gitee - Private repo with auto-deploy
  5. Dev.to - Content marketing

The Key Insight

Do not build infrastructure. Use managed services:

  • Hosting: Vercel (free tier)
  • Payments: PayPal.Me (zero fees)
  • AI: DeepSeek API (~0.002 dollars per request)
  • SEO: Google and Bing free tools

Total monthly cost: 0 to 5 dollars

What I Built

An AI fortune telling website with 108 SEO-optimized pages covering Zodiac, Tarot, BaZi, and Numerology - all cross-referenced by AI. One person. Zero budget. Real product.
