Passed $1,000/month revenue

I started charging on divjoy.com 3 weeks ago and just passed $1000 in revenue. Here's a couple things that I've learned:

  • People want a PayPal option! I started off with just Stripe and revenue went up 2x when I added PayPal. If you have an international audience it's worth adding.
  • Chat widgets work. I get a lot of questions on my checkout page via the chat widget (using crisp) and often close a sale when I'm quick to respond. It's also been a great way to quickly learn what needs to be clarified on the page.

I set a goal to reach "ramen profitable" by the end of the year. I'm about halfway there and launching a big feature this coming week (React Bootstrap support). Hopefully, that gets me across the finish line. I'd love to hear any feedback or ideas you all have!

    Did you consider getting someone to reply to your chat? I'm pretty sure you can get someone commision-based.

      I think at this stage talking to users is too important/valuable to outsource. Not at the point yet where it’s hard to keep up. Appreciate the idea though!

        I couldn't agree more! Just sounded like you couldn't respond in time.
