Tim hit $2,700 MRR
Posted on X · building DoCV
I launched my first SaaS (DoCV) exactly one year ago. The Product Hunt launch wasn’t promising: just 3 votes. I had no audience, no community, no beta users and no waitlist. All I had were a few Reddit posts. A year later, it has passed $2.7k MRR - slow and steady Not a single user came from X. I didn’t even start using X until six months after launching. It’s been a rough year keeping it alive. Every user came through content, outreach and countless 1:1 conversations and now all from my own subreddit. The lesson? Be active where your users already live... not where the hype tells you to be.
I stopped selling MRR and went back to ARR for some but.. we are now at $2,930 MRR 🎉 Having done over $650,000 in ARR I wanted some monthly subscriptions for stability when tough times come round This is a tiny number, but we should hit $10kMRR in a few months with what is very little marketing rn Still insane to me that what started as a vibe coded project has come this far
Quick Voibe update - Just went past $800 MRR 🥳 90%+ of our revenue is from LTDs, MRR is a small portion, but growing at a healthy pace now.. Plus churn is 1% So the product is quite sticky.. We now have to figure out how can we charge more and sell bulk licenses to teams.. - Build utility features that customers have been asking for - Build features that encourage teams adoption - Raise prices (eventually price out the LTD and move all revenue to recurring) 2 major product updates - - We released the the windows app and have some great early feedback.. - We launched cloud hosted dictation.. which has significantly improved the quality of the outputs.. Have a few partnerships in discussions as well.. lets see.. 🤞 Marketing wise we had a dip in organic traffic because of the last Google update.. but ive refreshed the content and seeing some recovery now.. A a few more cool things coming up in Voibe in the next few weeks that I can't share right now 🤫 Excited 🚀
I have 5.5 months left to reach $1M ARR. Problem: I'm only at $21K right now 🫠 I still think it's doable though!!!! For the 1st time in 3 years I feel like I have everything to make http://breakcold.com pop 🎉 Bootstrapping a sales CRM is so freaking hard but I think I ate enough shit to go to the next step. I had 0 SaaS experience when I started Breakcold, I didn't even know what a CRM or CMS was. I have a podcast coming up with @floriandarroman on how to grow a SaaS when you don't have luck on your side. Stay tuned.
Update on my goal of reaching $10k back with ads on Pattrn ◻️▧▧▧▧ 20% ✅ Hit $2k of MTR! My trial conversion rate has been dropping in the past few days, but I don't know if its a specific cohort or something else. Been scaling the ads bit by bit to keep an eye on these metrics. Excited.
415 writers are now running their Substack growth on WriteStack, and we just crossed $11,000 MRR. Wild to watch a tool go from an idea to something powerful enough that hundreds of people trust it with their growth every single day. Thank you for believing in it. This is just the beginning 💪
$15,000+ MRR 1800+ Active Subscriptions $9,000+ in last 28 days What changed? I ran more ads @markbuildsbrand
4 days ago I launched SpacerrX and made 4 sale. Here's what happened: • 4 paying subscribers (real customers :D) • 83 installs • First organic SEO (small, but it's a start) • Multiple feature requests from users One of the biggest lessons was onboarding. The first version clearly wasn't good enough. Three users pointed out the same issues. I listened, rebuilt it, shipped v3... and one of the next messages I received was: "Onboarding is soo much smooth and fun." And the crazy part is that I've seen products being promoted for weeks without getting a single customer. Meanwhile, I'm approaching 100 users in my first week with barely any marketing. I'll keep sharing everything the wins, the mistakes, the numbers, and what I learn along the way. Be humble. Be grateful. And keep shipping. Thank you everyone for the support 👊🏻🙏🏻
one of my apps just hit $100 mrr still small, but seeing something i built make even this much money feels unreal next up is $1,000
my mac app CNVS has done over $36k in a little over a month. this is what i learned : 1. Lifetime licenses are 100x easier to sell than subscriptions. ( not the right fit for everyone ) 2. Live streaming daily FORCES you to actually show up. I was lying to myself before about marketing and shipping. 3. I built a community of 500+ vibecoders in discord, i get constant feedback everyday that has made the app 1000x better. 4. build something unique... my app is 100% voice controlled, has stunning themes that make you happy, and everything is built around the latest research from ai labs. Ai is having the same problem that the health world had 5 years ago. People are shipping non-sense products that has zero basis in research. 5. Last and probably most importantly, build a product around what is hot, marketing will feel 1000x easier. my ios app quickclaw went from 0 to $7,200 in seven days, CNVS did the same thing because I actually listened to the market.
bruh… I fix the issue and less than 24hrs later I finally leave 5k MRR jail 😅 Hovering between $4.9k and $5k for like a week x.com/sebasestra/sta…
First churn of the challenge landed this week. The number still closed up. Day 12 of 100, taking LinkedMash to $2k MRR with AI agents. Current: $201.50. Week 2 revenue, honest version: MRR went $189.50 to $201.50, up 6.33%. It peaked at $215 on Wednesday, then one customer churned (about $14) and pulled it back down. So the challenge counter dropped, $215 to $201.50. First time it's moved the wrong way. What held the line: the GEO work is compounding (801 crawler hits last week, an article, answer pages), and a paid user's bug got fixed and shipped the same day, so he stayed instead of leaving. Net for the week: up, even after eating a churn. The graph that only goes up is the one hiding the churn.
