How did you feel when you got your first payment from Stripe/Paddle? 😁
This is a foreign feeling for me 😅 I love it, but at the same time I want more 🥹
Congrats man!!
You are number is bigger than me. As my one is 0 :)
Thanks 😊 Hah, we all gotta start somewhere 😁 Keep it up!
Congratulations! Almost seven years later, I still remember our first transaction for Tettra. I actually processed it manually over the phone in Stripe after a demo because we hadn't actually implemented a proper billing system yet.
Wow! 7 years ago! Amazing 😎
That is a true MVP Andy 🤣 Luckily we have Stripe Checkout now that lets us spend minimal time on the integration 😁
Thanks dude 🙏
Congratulations, Maxime! 👍
Thank you sir 🫡
I had the same feeling when I used to be an affiliate marketer..it's amazing.
Congratulations.!
Nice dude! I tried doing affiliate marketing in the past, but it wasn't for me 😁
I love the simplicity of it and the fact that it's so easy to get started. All you need is a blog or some social presence 👌
I love building too much though 😆
Thank you!!
Cherish it! I'm working on a client product that might become a niche saas, but for now, only my Medium income is MRR (about $30 as well).
Validation is there, like a little plant growing out of the soil. Now cherish it, nurture your users and grow into that bigger SaaS!
Congrats!
Thanks Edwin 😊
That is the plan 😎 The only constant I have is my hard work. Not stopping until I get what I want 😁🔥
Congrats man!
Thanks Josef 🚀
Congrats! I know this feeling, that's exciting, but it's addicting. You'll want more soon
Thank you 😊 Soon? I wanted more the second I got some 😆
Hey, congrats @maximedupre! As someone that recently also started making MRR, it feels really great. It took me at least a few failures to figure out how to get here, and I look forward to growing more in future.
Thanks Mike 😇 It sounds like we have the same journey 😁 Some failures, getting better with every attempt 😎
Congrats Maxime! Onwards and upwards :)
LFG 🔥
I'm happy for you :)
I'm on the way to getting my first MRR
Thanks Ortiz 😎 OMW to ramen profitability (one day soon 😆)
Great to see! Excited to get to that point too!
Nice! What are you working on? 😇
B2B Slack app to help orgs spend less time searching and more time working. Files found easier!
Very cool idea! Good luck 😎
This is the beginning of something great.
Excellent work.
Thanks Dan 😶 I hope so 😁
Very well man!
Congratulation!
Thanks Dom 😊
Just working hard and doing my best 😁
I can remember my first paid subscription. It was a Saturday afternoon after I launched the paid plan in the morning. It was a memorable feeling! Congrats, Maxime; keep the good work!
That's awesome Pradella. You also got users the same day you put it online? 🤩
That is a great feeling 😁
Thanks 🙏 Right back at you 😎
Actually, my SaaS was running for 1 year in freemium mode, so when I decided to launch a free plan I had several people already using it and decided to pay since then.
That's a good strategy 👌 You already had your product somewhat validated before you even charged people 🙌
Haven’t had the chance to experience that feeling yet, but I’m really happy for you! It must be incredibly validating :) Congratulations Maxime!
Thanks Nina 😊
It's a small validation, but I'm quick to discard it as I chase bigger milestones 😅 But yeah, gotta work on celebrating the small wins also.
And keep it up, you will surely get your first MRR if you want to 😎
Congrats @maximedupre! Good job in taking the time to recognise it too.
All too often I don't take the time to celebrate an achievement, but it's critical in such a long journey.
Big up! 👊🏽
Hey, thanks Ivor 😎
It's hard to celebrate because you don't want to stop working 😅 It's a mixture of pure excitement and insatisfaction 😆
Gotta work on celebrating the small milestones of the journey 😊
Congrats! Keep up the great work
Thanks Umut 🙏 Keep up I will 😎
So exciting, congratulations Maxime :)
That's like fuel to keep going, and reach the next milestone!
Mathilde! Yes! Exciting 🤩
That's definitely fuel. I also get fuel from all the other indie maker's successes. It's an amazing community 🔥
Thanks for Sharing USeful Article
Nice 👌
Thanks Auaureo 😶
I remember I went to get a cold shower to calm me down from excitement. Congrats!
LOL! Yeah, the nerves you get when you hear that notification 😂 You just keep refreshing the page like a maniac.
Thanks Sergey 😎
My first MRR is 1 dollar, so yeah, not exactly how you felt.
I'm sure that's equally as amazing... you just need more of them 🤣
Congratulation! You should buy yourself a small gift for you with part of this money, so that later you could say "I bought this with my first revenue on this business".
Hmmm, that's a great idea Anthony 🤔 I'll think of something cool I can keep 🙏
Congratulations!
Thanks Marvin 🤩 Love Pirsch as you know 😁
for me, finding the first sale is a 50% success rate. According to statistics, it takes 1 year for the first 10 sales, for 100 sales - half a year, for 1000 sales - 3 months
That's inspiring! It shows that consistency compounds over time 👌 Just gotta keep working.
Rule #1: Do. Not. Stop 🙏
Congratulations Maxime. The little wins matter a lot.
Thanks David 😎 One baby step at a time 🚀
Congratulations Maxime! It indeed is such a great feeling

Hah it's the best Pragyan. A mix of excitement and insatisfaction 🤣
A big congratulations!
Thanks a lot 😍
Nice done. Don't stop and move forward.
Thanks Mark. Absolutely.
There is only one rule: Do. Not. Quit. 🔥
may I know how you approach your customers?
Thanks for the comment 😊 I just DMed the people the seemed interested 😇
I make daily tweets about me building in public, so I contact people that show interest.
now get to 1M ;) thats the next milestone
Haha my name is not Pieter Levels 😆
It's gonna take a while 😜
Next milestone: Ramen Profitability 🥹
It was an amazing feeling. So validating!
🤩
Now just gotta find a way to consistently get new users 😅
Great.
Accurate 😅
Congratulations!
Thanks Domgoj 😎🚀
Congratulations! Gotta celebrate each step
Thanks Taylor! It's hard to stop and smell the roses when you're obsessed 😆
To be honest it still feels the same now as it did the first time! It's soo amazing!
And actually this month I have reached ramen with the profit I got from the WBE Space
Are you talking about sex or ... something else, Tiago? 🤭.
XD
Ramen profitability, my ultimate dream 🥹
Well done Tiago 😁 I'm always impressed by community builders 👌 How much is ramen profitability for you if you don't mind telling?
around 600 euros
Nice dude, you're living pretty lean 😁 I need to move from Canada to Bali or something 😅
For Bali right now you will need more than that, trust me! (I am here!)
But with 1.000€ you can live pretty well!
Oh got it. Here in CA I need about 3K MRR 😅 But I could porbably cut it down to 2K.
3K? I would have thought it was much more!
Are you living alone or it is a shared flat?
(I am thinking about where do I wanna live, and my two siblings are now in the US - NY and Pasadena - so US is a clear option right now!)
Living alone 😊 Rent + cheap car + insurances + healthy food + the occasional activity/restaurant.
But I think even if I get to half my monthly expenses in MRR I'm burning all the boats 😆
Nice! NY sounds expensive though 😶
Well this covers rent and ramen... Nothing more
That's all you need to feel like a billionaire 😆
Congrats! I just announced my first $ of MRR and for the very same reason, I was afraid to share it. I was worried about churn but honestly, it is worth celebrating because it's revenue. Congrats again.
Thank you 🙏 And congrats 🤩
Just reached 100 MRR recently 💪
Keep up the good work 🚀
Amazing Bro Keep it up 👍👍👍👍
🎉😎
Thanks Kundan 😊
Next up: more
😆
First MRR is always inspiring, I could give you a little help by providing you a free upgraded account on UXsniff for one year. Let me know.
Thank you 😯🤩
UXsniff looks pretty cool 👌 Does it use cookies to track users?
Yes it use cookies to store user anonymous ID, no ip addresses or personal information are tracked
Oh I see, nice. But that still necessitates the cookie banner right?
Yup, and whether to show a simple or complex cookie banner, it depends on your business nature and audience location.
Congrats!!🎉
I am still a long way from getting my first revenue. Currently working on a major update. Hope to soon take serpto.com beta.
Thanks 😊 Serpto looks pretty cool 👌 Keep it up, I wish you only the best 😎
