From failed 2022 goal to $1500 MRR

A year ago I posted on IndieHackers about a goal of selling a business for $1M in 2022. Well, that didn’t happen. I didn’t even get close. Failed. 👎

It wasn’t a complete failure. The initial idea for that business stayed alive and evolved as I worked on the product and talked to friends. I partnered up with my best friend Thomas as the product became more ready and we started reaching out to potential customers in March.

We’ve since both quit our jobs and gone all-in on building our business, Pageport.

Pageport makes it easy to create personalized landing pages for one person. The pages are video-based and can be scaled very quickly, and every interaction is trackable. We’ve seen it work wonders in our own outreach (we booked 124 meetings in April 🤯) and are seeing it work wonders with our early customers.

We’ve grown over the last two months and now are doing $1,500 MRR, with significantly more in the pipeline. I’m so stoked. Building a business is the funnest thing I’ve ever done.

A fun group we’ve found success with is small founding teams, who love our product because it allows them to punch way above their weight. These teams are using it in many different ways – cold outbound, automated response for warm leads, referral generation, tracking sales cycles, and customer upsells – and all seeing great results.

I’d love to get any IndieHackers signed up – just shoot me a message and I’ll hook you up with a deal. I really believe that Pageport can help any small team scale up their sales so much faster than without.

Comment below and I’ll make you your own custom page to show off 💪

Stoked to post more here. To the moon we go 🚀🌕

    Congratulations on the growth of your business, Pageport, and on taking the leap to quit your jobs and go all-in on building it with your friend, Thomas. It's inspiring to see how you turned a setback from your previous goal into an opportunity to evolve your initial idea and create a product that is resonating with small founding teams.

    Your focus on creating personalized landing pages with video and trackable interactions sounds like a powerful tool for scaling outreach and sales. It's great to hear that you're already seeing success with early customers and have a pipeline of more in the works.
