### Next

I’ve got two more weeks to hit my target of $50 MRR. I need around 16 new subscribers to hit the target. I’ve got nine subscribers on a free trial at the moment. Usually, I get ~5 new trials per week. So, it should be doable.

On the other hand, I’m starting to get a bit tired of marketing. I’ve come to the end of content creators to reach out to, posted on the major social media platforms, and promoted in other places. I’m not sure how much more I can do to increase traffic!

Thank you all for your suggestions along the journey.
