Hitting 45$ MRR with a scrappy product. πŸ˜‚

So i hit 45$ MRR.

I know it's not that much.

But it's a start and It’s infinitely bigger than 0 MRR. πŸ“ˆ

Here's the journey so far.

πŸ‘‰ It's been 6 months journey so far.
πŸ‘‰ ProductHunt launch.
πŸ‘‰ Early traction.
πŸ‘‰ Things started falling apart. (bugs, technical flaws, stupid mistakes)
πŸ‘‰ Churned users due to that.
πŸ‘‰ Paused marketing activities.(it's still paused)
πŸ‘‰ Rebuilding/Rewriting (still doing that 😟)

Even though i still have a scrappy product but a good landing page definitely helps. It's still not perfect messaging wise, but i think in start you can win your customers by promising them what's coming next. Contentdrips have public
@trello product roadmap which is shared with all paid customers.

I believe every SaaS should have public roadmap for their customers. It definitely helps.

I just tweeted it out as well and that tweet blew up.

Over 19k impressions & 4k+ engagement.

    I read it as $45k MRR somehow.

    Congrats! What a milestone for any indie hacker.

    In fact, any MRR at all is a critical milestone because it proves you're offering something people want to pay for.

    Can't wait for when you announce $1k MRR, I'm sure it'll be soon.

    You have a great product. Would you consider bumping up pricing? Seems like a quick way to get faster MRR growth.

    PS I followed you back on Twitter, thanks for keeping in touch with me.

      Thanks man!

      Yes. I plan to increase the pricing a little after we launch two new features in Contentdrips. Thanks for your support.
