$100 MRR and 1k uniques
by Matthew ReidAt the beginning of 2022 we set ourselves some goals for Q1 they included getting to ramen profitability ($100 /mo) and getting 1k unique visitors to our site per month.
I'm super excited that we hit both of those goals on Jan 24th already! The two things help each other of course. The more of the right type of visitor we get to the site, the more signups we are likely to get.
What's been really great to see is the number of self-serve
paid customers we are getting. The hook to upgrade from our Customer Portal feature is really working well. Customers get into the product using the Pricing Page (or really just want the Customer Portal) and then go through the upgrade flow like a dream.
There's still plenty of manual work in getting visitors to the site so we want to address that soon by publishing some great content to encourage organic traffic.
Time to increase those goals 🎯

Very manually so far. We are finding relevant conversations in Reddit, Twitter and IH. Starting to create more blog content now to get more Google traffic.

Oooh so mainly community discussions. Got it. Do you have any tips on how to promote your product without appealing to be too promotional? What's worked best for you so far?
