@redtachyon depends on what you label subsidization; infernce cost only is still way cheaper; but there's R n D and salaries and stuff like that. so they are a bit subsidized but not as much as normally refrenced
Started monetizing roughly 2 weeks ago. Goal is to make 300$ MRR so i can match my current job's salary lol.
costs are almost ~0$ since most of my tools are client side.
Goal for next month : at least 300$ , and 500$ in total revenue; lfggggggg
@char4n_lies@om_patel5 nah that's a differnt app (catch animals in general), this one is for cats only; ther'es a real chance to make one for dogs; it's a guranteed success lol
Honestly a bummer day , spent the entire day trying to fix an edge case with a customer; i think he just got fed up.
gotta fix the churn or i am going negative on the growth on this one
Honestly, this image is wayyy more helpful than doing anything else to my tools right now.
it tells me the exact 3 areas i need to work on:
1. make it a 100% functional without any bugs for all users
2. make it more affordable for some
3. compeititor research
just created a retention offer for anyone who uninstalls my tool and picks the "it's too expensive option"
tried to use all "patterns" i knew about retention. What else can i improve?
one of my friends sent me a pic of two ZX500RR outside his gym. I asked him which richass area he lives in.
He told me that the gym has 5 owners, and each one of them has a ZX500RR and they just swap around.
💀 Nepal is way richer than i have in my head lol
well if my products continues this trend; i'll hit my desired 300$ MRR within the next 15 days.
crazy how i posted just a few hours ago about going down on mrr , and some new folks already joined in
100$ MRR achieved ✅
@manoj_surya_@marclou@trust_mrr all my existing customers are on freemius so it'll be a bit of hassle maybe; i'll think about using dodo payments maybe for another saas
