0 to $1 million in 14 months (study)

When Rahul Aggarwal, a founder of Designhill, started – it was super tough.
He is from India. It means – lack of funding, super low-income households.

But 1 approach helped him to grow revenue of his startup from zero to $1 million in 14 months.

How?

1. His service helps companies to post a request for a design.
Instead of proposals, designers send in completed work.
Then a client chooses and pays for the best one.

2. This approach works for him because he focused on struggling designers in emerging economies (Afghanistan, Kenya, India, etc.)

3. He focused on affiliate marketing.
His company helps other platforms (like Shopify!) to generate additional revenue.
Win-win.
