3.1K installs. 2.5K actives. $135 MRR. Zero marketing. This is exactly why we bet on Chrome extensions. They spread like candy when the core use case is obvious. Now it’s just a game of: - Sharpen the paywall - Widen the funnel - Stack use cases Extension goldmine in…
3.1K installs. 2.5K actives. $135 MRR. Zero marketing. This is exactly why we bet on Chrome extensions. They spread like candy when the core use case is obvious. Now it’s just a game of: - Sharpen the paywall - Widen the funnel - Stack use cases Extension goldmine in…
Everyone’s chasing monthly MRR. Few realize: Your Chrome extension can be flipped like a website. Get it to $500–2K/month Prove users keep paying Sell for 20x–40x monthly profit
You don’t need to launch your Chrome extension. You need to position it where users already search: Chrome Web Store (SEO-optimized title + description) Google search (FAQ-style pages) YouTube & TikTok (1-minute demo: problem → tool → solution) Reddit, organically (join…
Which is harder to get users for? SaaS: Build a landing page Post on socials Run ads Pray for conversions Chrome Extension: Rank for a keyword Get installs from people already searching Show value in 3 seconds The Chrome Web Store = built-in top-of-funnel. Why fight for…
Where are the 100K users of those YouTube summarizer extensions coming from? Not paid ads or cold outreach. Mostly: SEO on the Chrome Web Store Viral 10-second videos showing the tool in action “Top 10 Chrome extensions” posts on Reddit and TikTok Attention is already moving.…
Chrome extensions run locally. But that doesn't mean you can't secure them. Here's the trick: Treat it like a frontend to a gated backend Use license keys and a validation API Serve premium features remotely The free stuff runs in the browser. And the paid stuff gets unlocked…
Wondering why everyone builds Chrome extensions? More users Easier APIs Faster dev cycle Higher chance to rank for real keywords Building for Firefox feels like a hobby. Chrome? That’s where distribution happens.
You ranked for “QR code generator.” Now what? Turn that search traffic into installs: Repeat keywords naturally Write like a human, not a bot Lead with instant value Your Web Store listing is your landing page. Treat it like copywriting, not documentation.
Stripe isn’t available in India. So does that mean you can’t monetize your Chrome extension? Nope. Use: -Razorpay for local users -Lemon Squeezy to sell globally Most devs overthink monetization. All you need is a link + a webhook + a reason to pay.
Chrome extensions don’t go viral. They get searched. Want to win installs? Open the Chrome Web Store. Start typing your idea. See what Google suggests. Those autocomplete results = free market research. Build around the phrase. Name your extension after the pain. Get Free…
Your extension name is your #1 marketing asset. Most devs treat it like a brand. Smart ones treat it like a keyword. “Email Scraper Pro” gets 10x more installs than “RavynIQ.” Want to be found? Solve a pain in the name itself.
The Chrome extension business isn’t dead. It just got boring, and that’s exactly why it works. While everyone chases AI apps and billion-dollar valuations… Smart devs are: -Solving simple pains -Ranking in the Web Store -Earning $5K/month without tweeting once
Everyone wants backlinks. -They beg on Reddit -They cold email blogs -They guest post on ghost towns Meanwhile… I shipped a Chrome extension. Added one clean link to my site. Now I’ve got an authoritative .google.com backlink That I control. That ranks.
Ship fast Rank with SEO Let the Web Store do the work Chrome extensions are still the wild west for builders who know what to build

If your app integrates with Gmail, Docs, LinkedIn, or Notion… You need a Chrome extension. It’s not a feature. It’s free advertising. Then: -Use keyword tools to find exact search phrases -Make your listing crystal clear -Include social proof in screenshots Most people never…
