Congrats on the milestone. As I’ve grown a SaaS over the last 5 years I’ve found there are enough MRR and ARR milestones that we can celebrate something real every few months. It’s a great feedback loop. (Eg 10k arr, 1k mrr, 25k arr, 3k mrr, 50k arr, etc)
Advice given to me, taken in my own way, and now I’m passing on: to get from 1k mrr to 10k mrr double down on everything that has worked for you. Once you hit 1k (or in your case about 3k) you obviously have at least one thing that is working.
After 10k we were forced to get more creative. (Feeder products, paid advertising, etc)
This is the era of the Micro SaaS.
- cambalache 7y agoThat is a fantastic advice, even better if backed by some data.This is actionable, practical advice. Most of the material for instructing internet entrepreneurs get stuck in that circle of cliches, generalizations and wishful thinking. I would love to read a book with down to earth practical advice like the one you gave.
- mrskitch 7y agoI agree heavily with this, minus the paid advertising bit. I think it depends on your audience. I've grown browserless.io from 8k MRR last year, to ~20k MRR this year wo doing paid ads. Doubling down on what makes your product what it is is fantastic advice. Making adoption and trialing it easy is also what I'd recommend as churn can become a problem during this timeframe. Micro SaaS FTW!
- yoshyosh 7y agoAssuming you're talking about cronitor, curious what feeder products you guys created, and how did that work out?
