I kept seeing people build genuinely cool things on Pickaxe and then have no idea how to get anyone to pay for them. I was one of those people.

So I wrote a guide. It covers most everything: finding a niche worth building for, writing prompts that actually work, setting up your Studio correctly so payments don’t break, and getting your first users without running ads.

It’s free: [The Pickaxe Playbook: Build, Sell, and Get Your First Paying User](http://beckettr.gumroad.com/l/pickaxe)

The only thing I ask is that if it helps you, let me know. Feedback makes it better for everyone. Hope it helps someone!
