全ストーリー
I'm a 29-year-old software engineer from Germany who left my full-time job to dedicate one year to building my own projects.
The Grind
My MRR growth had phases of stagnation - the step from $6,000 to $7,000 took 2 months, and from $7,000 to $8,000 took 5 months.
The Breakthrough
In June 2024, I won the RevenueCat Times Square contest. Then MKBHD's channel featured HabitKit in a video which led to a huge spike.
- Time to $10K MRR: 2.5 years
- Pricing experiments unlocked growth
- MKBHD feature changed everything
重要なポイント
1
Growth isn't linear - be patient during stagnation periods
2
Set a tight deadline for MVP - I gave myself 4-6 weeks
3
Pricing experiments can unlock new growth
4
One big feature (like Times Square or MKBHD) can change everything
