In 7 months I’ve hit $25k MRR on my micro-SaaS but it doesn’t feel like an achievement.

Users sign up, they churn, the product works fine, nothing is on fire at the moment. It’s eerily quiet.

I feel like that Spongebob meme where plankton says “I don’t know. Never thought I’d get this far”.

What do I do?

    What you’re feeling is probably tied to an unspoken emotion. I say take some time to self reflect and just really ground yourself to your unique situation.

    Then come back and start iterating. If your churn rate is an issue, that means LTV is down and your product has a specific life cycle.

    If you’d like some help on that. Feel free to reach out via DM.

    Talk to 5+ customers per week.

    • Those that churn.
    • Those that stay.
    • Serve the customer’s needs.
    • Serving people gives you purpose and will give you direction.

    Or sell it and go in a different direction.

    Seems like actively seeking out user feedback and iterating new features would be critical. Call them up and ask for feedback if they’re not responding to emails. If they’re happy, get testimonials and referrals. Post them to your website. Keep pushing, set a goal of 100k MRR. Way to go!

    You should be really happy when many people like me struggling to get few users on our products. IMHO, you are in the step where you should hire someone to do what you are doing now so that you could focus on what’s interesting to you.

    If you want someone really motivated and on board to pull you trough you could hire, but also think of a earn in type of deal. Let them in on the ownership and people will get a different type of motivation, and with an earn in you protect yourself from every rando that wants a piece for free :)

    I am happy for you. It is what it is, if you feel nothing it is OK. No judgment. You are not obliged to feel anything. Forget what the society told you.

    Usually when I reach this state of mind, I put it down for a while and leave it alone because whenever I decide to screw with it, that is usually when I make a mistake so if I feel like I am stuck or it is too quiet, that is when I leave alone
