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 🚀
