Hard to believe it, but at the beginning of February I officially crossed a big milestone - $1000 in net sales since starting ColorBliss.art in October!
At the beginning of this year, I was starting to sour a bit on the idea. I had hit $100 mrr, but growth was super slow and I do have limited runway. I need to get to $6k mrr this year ideally, and amassing 1500 customers at $4.99 will likely take me longer than that.
But the $1000 number put wind in my sales, and SEO traffic really picked up in February! I ended up doing $500 in total sales in February, the best month yet, and added almost 1 customer a day.
I raised prices (from 4.99 to 7.99) and conversion rate went up!
My dabbling in paid ads helped me stumble across several product expansion opportunities, and I now think $6k is reachable with this project.
I'm doubling down on ColorBliss in March and plan to launch a suite of new features, new plans, new marketing approaches and new pricing to help grow the engine.
If I double my acquisition right now, I can hit $6k in 12 months. I think I can do more than that - stay tuned!
