Niche SaaS breaks 1000€ payout for the first time

With Tresor One my B2C SaaS product targeted only at the German market of retail investors on stocks and ETFs has tripled payouts for the past 3 months breaking 1000€ this month.

My goal for the year to make 1€ and now we are crossing 700€ MRR. Lifetime deals (3 years worth of monthly sub) are what is moving the payout needle so high this month.

I'm absolutely amazed by the growth of Tresor One right now even though I'm not putting that much time in (I just got a baby girl). Gives me lots of motivation to continue pushing. If I can get MRR to 1000€ as a next step I believe I can also move it to 5k or 10k and be able to live off of it.

My learnings along the way
💰 Charge - even though you think it will make current users run away
💪 Continue - there are ups and downs, slow and fast growth weeks - continue through and stuff is compounding
💬 Talk to users every day
👨‍💻 Go for manual stuff, but then invest in things that add value without you (Community, Team, Open Source, Crowdsourcing, etc). This will make growth itself grow 🔥

I'll keep going!

    Good stuff! Would love to hear more about this: Go for manual stuff, but then invest in things that add value without you (Community, Team, Open Source, Crowdsourcing, etc). This will make growth itself grow 🔥 what’s been your most effective efforts there?

      Can't tell whats most effective yet as some of these efforts are quite recent but open-source surely was a great help.

        enjoyed the vid - congrats on the baby! Bookmarked the channel for viewing later, because from what I can tell you:

        • Have just had a kid
        • Have a FT job
        • Have steady paid user growth
        • Have still had time to open-source parts
        • Are still keeping the social media going

        ...leaving me to conclude that you are some kind of wizard 😀

    Good for you. Like the goal of making 1 euro - many people will never achieve that.

      Thanks Christopher - 1€ is always the start
