IH [AMA]: We bootstrapped to $26K MRR...ask us anything
Hey Everyone -
Flying up to SF this week to hangs with my co-founder @jeffdh5 and plan out our road map for the rest of the year and our 2.0 version launch of our application. We bootstrapped to get there...ask us anything!
How was your first year in terms of ARR and how did you acquire your first 20 paying customers?
Hi there, thanks for your post. I just read your success story article and have a few questions:
How did you spend $10,000 over the 3-4 years on your blog?
You mentioned whilst talking with Jeff, your main competitor was doing $200k per month. How did you know this?
What was the main factor of your growth near the end of 2017?
Great questions!
Paid $6K for a great design and function overhaul of the site and then around $4K in misc tools over the years. A slow bleeding of money I would never get back but a great education
We did some back-of-the-napkin math based on their brand strength and total # of potential users in their private Facebook group and then multiplied that by their monthly subscription fee
