I reached my goal I set a year ago of $1,000+ MRR: from quitting my job to building 7 apps and $1,000+ MRR

Hi IH,

It’s been 14 months since I left my job in March 2018 and decided to focus on making my own products full time for 1 hardcore year to get $1,000 MRR.

Since that time I launched 7 apps (only 2 of them have subscription)

TL’DR:

Mar 2018: Quit my job to ship products and earn $1,000/mo (recurring)

Mar 2018: Sheet2Site.com a web app that allows to create a fully functional website from Google Sheets without writing code.

Apr 2018: ProgressBarOSX.com a macOS menubar app that shows you exactly how much % of the year, month and day has progressed.

Jul 2018: MakeOSXGreatAgain.com a tool that fix annoying things in macOS like stopping asking if you want to update or disable opening iTunes when you connect your iPhone.

Aug 2018: PreviewHunt.com a web app that can preview and prepare your Product Hunt submission.

Oct 2018: MacBookAlarm.com, (acquired) an macOS app that will secure your laptop with an alarm if someone will try to still it.

Nov 2018: EncryptMyPhotos.com an end-to-end encrypted photo storage.

Jan 2019: I won Product Hunt’s Maker of the Year.

Mar 2019: Sheet2Site 2.0. New templates, integrations, re-launch and no free plan.

May 2019: Achieved the goal.
