900 Sales of Better Sheets

We're well on our way to 1k customers.

Might even hit it by the end of September. Yes within the next two weeks.

And because the cost is $19, this means I'm rapidly approaching $20k in revenue. For a side project launched in April, I'd call this a goddamn success already.

Can it get better? Sure as heck ya!

Clearing time in my schedule and clearing room in my brain to make some monumental changes and make Better Sheets better.

    Congrats. Just wanted to say that I'm a happy customer!

    Awesome. All / majority through AppSumo?

    And sounds like there’s a good case study to come out of this. Idea to launch to 1000 customers / $20K revenue in 5 months

    1. 1

      Yep 95% through Appsumo

    Thats amazing, congrats. How are your customers discovering your product?

    1. 1

      They discover it through Appsumo mainly. A few blog posts, social media, and word of mouth.

    Congratulations! I see you mentioned that you launched in April.

    How long was the development/creation phase? What actually spurred you on to create it?

    1. 3

      It took me 24 hours to launch. and created it and developed it all through out, after the launch. Launched with 8 videos now there's over 120. (actually I've made over 200 videos now)

      A few different things spurred me on to create it. I wanted to help people with their new projects they start inevitably in the pandemic. Wanted to give increasing value for one LTD price.

        So epic. Did you imagine it would take off like this?

        1. 1

          no way I thought it would.

    @AndrewKamphey Congratulations - it took us a slew of years to hit 1K customers. Perhaps you're aware, but in case you aren't, with Covid-19 killing businesses, SaaS productivity tools are way down (we've had four offered from RiteKit, and for years, and track competitors, so I think we'd know) so, 1K customers in five months is spectacular.

    I'd like to invite you to team up with us on a case study, which we'd spread far and wide. Blogs, a long-term multi-post social campaign - and linked to Better Sheets. Please see https://ritekit.com/api-demo/ and especially the Person and Company Insights solutions. What would you automate and how, using Sheets and our API?

    You can test our API endpoints without registration or messing with the docs, and there's a free tier, so, have at it. The best way to reach us is by chatting to us on our site. You'll most likely get me; I'm quite hands-on.

    In any case, love your videos, your style and energy!

    Dude, I watched your videos and they were awesome. I can see why the growth is happening. Not to much the sheets itself. Great work!!
