WP Livestream
WordPress plugin for live streamers
WP Livestream is currently at 190 paying subscribers.
This puts us at over $12K in annual recurring revenue.
Jumped pretty quick from the last milestone. Once we hit $15K ARR I will only post in $5K increments.
Trying to get more involved in certain Facebook communities and get the word out as WP Livestream is still very much unknown in the WordPress world.
WP Livestream is currently at 184 paying subscribers.
This puts us at over $11.5K in annual recurring revenue.
Still working on the previously mentioned features, integrations, and partnerships.
Will be planning a launch on Product Hunt in the near future. Stay tuned :)
WP Livestream is currently at 173 paying subscribers.
This puts us a little over $10,000 in annual recurring revenue.
More features, integrations, and partnerships are planned. Hoping I can give WP Livestream more of my attention as our userbase and revenue grows.

Great milestone there! Considering you reached this coveted spot in a little over a year since launch!
Could you offer some strategies on how you've gone out to market and acquired your customers?

Thank you! Most of my sales have come through Facebook groups that I was already apart of, affiliates, and some organic traffic after getting mentioned in some blogs online.

1 year in, we are at 146 paying subscribers with a little over $8K ARR.
Not focusing much on marketing again until we reach version 2.0. Once 2.0 launches, I will take a break from major development and focus on marketing and partnerships for a good while to see real growth.
I have a modest goal to hit 250 paying subscribers by end of year.
We've acquired our 50th customer! I honestly thought that I would have hit a larger number by this point in the year, but this slower growth has allowed me to fine-tune some pain points that existing customers have pointed out.
Starting to plan and prep for a Black Friday / Cyber Monday push for sales.
Went public with version 0.9.8 of WP Livestream.
Didn't do much by way of advertising, was basically trying to stay on top of groups I was already a part of, looking for people who had questions about embedding their live stream.
I went back to the same group that I beta-launched and offered the first 50 customers 50% off for life. Only had 9 people take me up on the offer 🤷♂️
I had successfully been running a rudimentary version of WP Livestream for my own church. The basic kinks seem to have been worked out.
Now I wanted to know if this was something other people would be interested in.
The easiest way for me to validate was to ask people in the same shoes as me - people running live streams at churches with WordPress sites.
I posted a request for 10 beta testers in a Facebook Group (WordPress for Churches). In exchange for beta testing they would get the plugin for free if/when I launched it publicly. I got about 70 comments.
One thing I should have done is instead pointed them to a landing page where I could have collected their emails.
My church had just started to take live streaming seriously. I was the one responsible to run everything - the camera, the stream, and updating our website after we went live (while I was running everything else).
That's when I had the idea for a WordPress plugin that auto-embedded a live stream. This would take something off of my plate and seemed like a no-brainer in regards to something that should be automized.
