My app makes me $2,700/month after 6 months
I did it together with my brother and we also did marketing for it together.
We constantly work to improve it and the growth has been crazy for us the last few months.
The idea started as just giving AI memory to make it easier for ourselves to build our products (didn't exist in LLMs when we started). Then we continued to improve upon it and add new features like searching through Reddit discussions to validate ideas, following specific phases from ideation to building and marketing, and adding tools to make the whole process more actionable.
All we did to market it was talk about our journey building the app on X in the Build in Public community (great way to get attention early on btw).
We also launched on Product Hunt which got us our first paying customers.
54 days after launch we hit $1,000 MRR
98 days after we hit $2,000 MRR
And today we’re at $2,700 MRR.
Total revenue is about $9,000.
We didn’t spend a dollar on marketing to reach this point and we recently hit 5,000 users. It’s only in the last week we’ve started experimenting with paid advertising.
The goal for this year is to hit $10k MRR, which I see as doable if we get paid advertising to work.
The app is called Buildpad if you want to check it out.
I’ll continue sharing more on our journey to $10k MRR if you guys are interested.
