83% of B2B software founders don't realize this 🤯

It's possible to boost your MRR (overnight)

How?

By acquiring NEW revenue from EXISTING customers!

Typefully's example:

1. Ask for user feedback about your product (email survey, tools like Upvoty, 1:1 calls, etc.)

2. List the most requested features

3. Package them into a new/higher plan

4. Email current customers upfront (before launching the new plan) and offer an early bird discount

Instant MRR boost 🚀👇

Every success we find is a result of some mess we created.

Embrace failure.

Start with a tiny problem you have today.

Solve it.

You'll immediately create a new problem.

Solve that.

Until you find that next golden idea.

It's how I literally find new ideas almost every single day.

A problem solved creates new problems.

Which is a good thing.

We need more problems to create (better) solutions.

Strategy to up your MRRRR! 👇

[Mike Strives @mikestrives]

The strategy nobody's talking about.

It brings in new MRR on autopilot:

→ Clickfunnels adds $1m/mo
→ ConvertKit gets 14k clicks/week
→ My product @upvoty adds 4%/Month

It's our best-performing marketing channel.

Literally on autopilot.
