8 Months of Code Earned $0. One Question Closed $70.

Eight months of building. Six shipped integrations. Zero dollars. Then one operator in Canada told a founder exactly what was missing, the founder asked point-blank whether fixing it would earn a payment, got a yes, shipped it in a few weeks, and collected $70. It's the smallest case we've run and one of the most instructive, because the $70 didn't come from the product. It came from the question.
