Rj Ahmed, a 21-year-old founder in Pakistan, built a Chrome extension described as sending messages to newly added Facebook friends. He first tested the concept with people in Facebook communities, including a post that drew 76 comments in one day, according to the interview. Before a working dashboard existed, he presold access to community administrators and used early payments to cover development. The creator says Ahmed had made about $8,000 total from the extension and was approaching 7,500 users; these are reported figures, not independently verified. He sold access at prices including $97 one-time launch offers and discussed lifetime deals of $1,000–$1,500 for some customers. The founder’s $10,000 monthly recurring revenue figure was a goal, not an achieved result. The story centers on a small software product distributed through trusted community owners and influencers, with partnerships serving both as sales and as a way to reach users.
