Just signed my first MVP client for $3,400

I just closed a deal to build an MVP for $3,400, and I’m beyond excited! This is my first official client, and it feels like a big step forward. The project’s all about delivering a quick, functional MVP so they can test their idea in the market.

A few things I learned in the process:

  • The process is everything. Being organized and following a structured process step-by-step really makes a difference in keeping everything on track.
  • Writing a solid proposal matters. Clearly outlining the scope and deliverables helped set expectations.
  • Contracts are key. Having everything formalized in a contract gave both of us peace of mind.
  • Keep it simple and focused. The clearer the scope, the smoother things go.
  • Communication is everything. Being upfront about timelines and expectations really built trust.
  • There’s demand out there. A lot of people need quick MVPs to validate their ideas before going all in.

It’s been a great learning experience, and I’m looking forward to more projects like this! If you’ve been through something similar or have tips, I’d love to hear about it.
