I sat at $100 MRR for 6 months.
today: $15k MRR.
nothing viral happened. I just did 4 things, in this order:
1. đđēđŊđŋđŧđđ˛ đđŧđđŋ đŧđŗđŗđ˛đŋ đ¯đ đđŽđšđ¸đļđģđ´ đđŧ đđđ˛đŋđ
talk to the people who didn't convert.
talk to the people who churned.
ask them why.
whatever they tell you is what makes your offer worth paying for.
2. đđđļđšđą đŽ đąđļđđđŋđļđ¯đđđļđŧđģ đđđđđ˛đē, đģđŧđ đŽ đšđŽđđģđ°đĩ
aim for at least 100 visitors/week you can repeat every week.
mine was Reddit. helpful replies where people ask for tools like mine. 5 minutes a day got me 100+ visitors/week.
3. đđļđ đđĩđ˛ đŗđđģđģđ˛đš đ¯đ˛đŗđŧđŋđ˛ đŽđąđąđļđģđ´ đēđŧđŋđ˛ đđŋđŽđŗđŗđļđ°
track 4 numbers:
visitor â signup, signup â trial, trial â paid, churn.
fix the worst one first.
then repeat for the next one.
if your funnel leaks, more traffic just means more disappointment.
I went from $1k to $15k MRR just by improving my funnel, not stacking more channels.
4. đĻđđŽđ°đ¸ đ°đĩđŽđģđģđ˛đšđ đŧđģđ°đ˛ đđĩđ˛ đŗđđģđģđ˛đš đ°đŧđģđđ˛đŋđđ
once your funnel converts and retains well, now's the time to add more marketing channels.
keep doing what already works. add new channels on top of it.

do these 4 steps in order and I promise you'll no longer be stuck.
