Reached $2K MRR

Instatus just reached $2K MRR 🚀

It's an exciting checkpoint to reach, but my goal is to reach $5K MRR by the end of 2021. Here's how I plan to do it:

🚀 Instatus Out for the web

I recently launched a free desktop app (as a side-project marketing) that notifies people when their favorite services are down. It's called Instatus Out.

I plan on expanding that to the web, with the aim of ranking for keywords like (slack,zoom,etc status page)

I always procrastinate on content. It feels a lot like work to me. "___ status page" are the most popular keywords anyway, so it's easier for me to build a website than release content.

🙈 Password protected status pages

I already have MANY customers who are using an early version of private pages. Many new customers are waiting for this to be released.

I need to ship this to be able to offer it on a paid plan (maybe $30 to $50/mo)

🔥 Move into monitoring

This will help add value to Instatus. It will help it become a one-stop shop for monitoring, status pages and incident management for teams.

It will add a lot of value for customers, and help me start higher tiers.

Let's goooo 🚀
