#openstartup It's March! February was INSANE for @ClosetTools.

MRR: $4,758 [+36.0%]
New Trials: 134 [+39.5%]
New Customers: 57 [+90.0%]
Conversion Rate: 39.4% [+22.5%]
Churn Tate: 22.2% [–10.2%]

Up until this month it was increasing ~$300/month. Last month it increased $1170 🤯

The majority of this increase was due to shipping some critical features, publishing an official Chrome Web Store version of the app, and an SEO boost. That, and I have built up an 800+ email list of people who have tried the app. Email marketing works, folks!

I took a bit of a break from Twitter for February. I didn't like my relationship with it. I was consuming a lot - and all I was posting was about my successes. I don't like that. I want to actually contribute something valuable to people. Not just show off how much money I make.

I made an open stats page on my blog. You can check it out here: jmo.fyi/open/

Speaking of my blog, I wrote two posts this month that I think defines me as an #Indiehacker. First, I wrote about making a product that sells itself. You can check that out here: jmo.fyi/product-that-s…

Second, I talked about writing. Specifically about writing that generates traffic and how I have seen that be a model for success in online ventures over and over again. Check it out here: jmo.fyi/writing-for-tr…

So, yeah. This post is another post about my success. I still don't like that being the only content I put out. I have to find another way to use Twitter or just stop all together.

I hope at least that the success I've had inspires some people to make a product or get shipping some code. I know a year ago I never would have thought I would be where I am now. It's been a crazy journey.
