$200k revenue in less than a year

At makerpad.co we are at 793 PRO members and 8.7k subs. Looking to hit 1k and 10k subs by end of year as a stretch goal.

Honestly can’t believe this side project I started now has over 110 tutorials, 3 staff and over 200k revenue in less than a year! So grateful for everyone’s support so far.

If you can’t code or just want to see what’s possible with no-code, come join us: makerpad.co

    Congrats on the milestone Ben! It's been fun watching you grow it.

    What's the breakdown on the numbers? Any insights into how people are choosing to pay and how that's driven your pricing model?

    I'm trying to remember back to how you first had it. Wasn't it a once-off fee?

    Amazing! Congrats Ben! I'm working on a no-code solution similar to bubble, but would really like to hear your thoughts on what gaps there are in the market or what I could do a little differently if you're open to it.

    What do you think was the single most important decision that made the most impact over the last year? (besides no code)

    Inspiring @bentossell. Such a great product.

    This looks serious good. Love it. I was interested in knowing how I could probably collaborate with you on Design front, specifically UI and UX + Webflow. Jump into what I am working on right now UXHunt.com
    Let me know if you are interested? I am really early into the game so my numbers are low. ;)

    I'm so impressed that you and the team have been able to build a community like this. Community-building is not my forte! Any tips on channels or strategies that helped you tap into this growing community of no-code makers?

    Congrats man.

    How many "tutorials" did you launch the paid version with?
    And was the pricing always the same (or have you increased recently)

    1. 1

      I actually can’t remember how many but less than 10.

      The price has increased every few months since we launched actually.

    Congratulations! Seems like an interesting idea.

    Congratulations!!! Keep inspiring us
