12 Week Challenge: $1 to $50 MRR (Week 7)

Nov 16 (edited) in Build in public

## WAM 7

### Status

Following Aivar’s recommendation, I’ll focus more on impressions rather than MRR.

Impressions: 1.6k (+30%)
I’m not so used on focussing on this number, but I think this is solid growth. 116 downloads this week is double of last week’s downloads.
Current MRR: $10.76 – 17% growth
While the MRR growth is small, I got 12 new free trials this week. I’m currently on 20 paying subscribers, so that is solid growth. With a week free trial, MRR actually lags behind a week.

### Tactics last week

After a slow last two weeks, I am feeling more energised.

### Wins

User emailed me about a problem, responded quickly with a solution, and shipped the fix the next day. User submitted a really nice review (see images)
Made it to the Obsidian Discord starboard
Posted app to the Obsidian subreddit. Got some really valuable feedback out of it.

### Challenges

Posted app to the Obsidian subreddit. Got some critical replies out of it. Some people criticised the pricing structure quite harshly. After taking a deep breath (and some editing from my wife), I replied with a response that I am quite happy with.

### Intentions for next week

After spending time on marketing, I want to spend some time again on building.
