crossed 900 registered users today
looks great on paper but only generated $150 revenue total (90% profit)
I'm pivoting my positioning now but in doing so I'm potentially killing the distribution channel - which was the only advantage I had
*uncertainty whimper*
i removed the free option from my site and launched a low cost trial option instead
i also improved social proof by pulling through the number of users & added big company logos
and I built a gallery of outputs generated by the app to show what they can expect
now we wait 🕰️
my app gets 1.1k visits a month
about 330 of those sign up to trial
only 10 will convert to paid
so I’m doing what indies are supposed to - remove the free plan
offering a low cost trial instead
one of the rare updates that could totally transform the revenue numbers 🤞
HELP AN INDIE
my app gets 10 signups a day now for the free trial but I think it attracts the wrong audience
🔽 Funnel metrics:
1.1k unique visitors
321 signups (29% CR)
6 stripe payments (1.9% CR)
should I replace free for cheap trial to try and increase revenue?
slow and sexy pace for progress 🏃
50% of total revenue generated was in the last 7 days 📈
was on vacation the whole time and didn’t touch a laptop 💻
just need to keep scaling it
i can finally consider myself a consistent person
for the first time in my life I’m taking small steps every day for fitness, health, indie projects and learning to be a more rounded, able member of society
and I’m doing it in a way that’s sustainable for the long term
pushed to prod late last night without fully testing my changes cos I was tired
sure enough something didn’t work
the 30yo version of creating drama 💁♀️
Launch Or Pay 💳
…is no more
Did not renew the domain
It was a fun project and a good lesson to focus on ideas that are less of a gimmick and more value focused
realising that i was always seeking validation in others because I couldn’t respect myself
the more i practice (balanced) self control, discipline and tenacity, the less I’m looking outward for approval
slow & steady growth 📈
90 mins a day on the right thing is reaping so many more benefits than when I took 3 months to go all in on my projects
no crazy milestones yet but at least I know I have something
🏆 33% organic growth MoM
🏆 9 free signups today
🏆 2 paying customers in 7 days
🏆 17 US visitors on my site right now
and i’ve not even shared the link anywhere yet
loving this slow, steady, sustainable progress without needing to desperately beg anyone to check it out
major breakthrough on my app today after probably 3 weeks of a steep learning curve & struggle
going from a basic wrapper to custom models with far better output at a fraction of the cost
can’t believe I generated revenue with V1 but really ready to ramp things up with V2
