Experimented with pricing and made $1000+ revenue
Earlier in February, I left my day job to become fully independent (You can read more about it in the blog post). I have some savings and side income from two of my Google add-ons. Earnings from the add-ons were a lot less.
It was just $663 in January. But, Drive Explorer alone made $1317 in February.
What did I do to improve the revenue?
- As suggested by @anakravitz in this thread, I started experimenting with the prices. I increased the price and it just worked.
- I introduced monthly plans which I didn't have before.
I hope that March will be as good as February 🤞.

Launched the premium version of the add-on
When I launched it initially, it was free to use. Later I wanted to see if people pay for it. I limited the features of the free version and released the premium version with all functionalities. The existing free users started paying for it from the first day itself.

Awesome read, thanks! Curious, how did you grow awareness for your chrome extensions?
Thanks Maxim. I didn't do anything to promote the add-ons till January 2020. In January 2020, I launched both of the add-ons on PH. It didn't go that well and didn't bring any paid users. That's all the promotion I have done so far. I got almost all of the paying users organically. I have a relevant blog post and a web page with a link to the add-on which are doing well on SERPs, that's all.
