πŸ’΅ $13,7k MRR (+13%)
🏦 $15.2k gross volume (+14%)
🐣 2211 new users

September was the best month so far in terms of absolute MRR value added with +$1,630!

Churn is still decreasing every month 😍
Chirag and I didn't ship a lot of code for NotionForms as we're mostly busy with the new open-source form builder (more info soon).

Some things we did:
- Added support for "Status" Notion type
- New select component
- Speed improvements (query optimization)
- Bug fixes
On the downside, September came with our first Stripe dispute. The dispute is still under review, I'll share the progress on this.

In September, @lizmhermann started to help me get started with Google ads. It's already showing promising results (2 conversions to paid subscribers so far)! In October we're going to also try influencer marketing.
I've also started to discuss a collaboration to produce more content around NotionForms. I want to start with more videos showing users how to best use the product. Hopefully, this should both help acquire new customers and improve conversion rates!
2 weeks ago I also challenged myself to create a small SaaS in 48h, mostly to share my process. This went pretty well, I shipped the product in time. After struggling to get any users, I decided to offer it for free, in order to learn from users.
I'm planning to spend only few hours per week-end on this small project, maybe I'll be able to monetize it in a bit.
That's all for September!

I'm launching a SaaS in 48 hours! ⏳

I'm going to share the whole process here: from ideation to the first customer. My goal is to get a first paid customer within 1 week, let's see if we can make this happen πŸ”₯

Here are the steps πŸ‘‡
The ideaπŸ’‘

Because of the time constraints, it needs to be simple. I also don't want to do too much marketing as I already have my main projects. Therefore, building a tool for an existing platform seems like the best option. Andy summed up the why:

I already know the platform for which I want to build something: @crisp_im. I have been a customer for a long time, I love the product and use it daily AND they just launched their plugin marketplace.

Now I need to find plugin ideas. How? Easy: Image

Monthly update for @NotionForms πŸš€

πŸ’΅ $5149 MRR (+20%)
🏦 $6k gross volume
🐣 1906 new users (+9%)
πŸ“ 1895 new forms (+20%)

More info below πŸ‘‡
February was special for me because it was the first time I was taking proper days off since I started working on NotionForms. And instead of starting slow to try and see if my product would still run without me, I took 3 weeks off πŸ˜‚ I was stressed, but it worked out!
I can definitely feel that there was a slow down but it still grew! There wasn’t any incident, and I didn’t get too many support requests.

Somehow there was a spike in churn in the last few days that completely stopped the growth :( Image
