A small SaaS reached $263 in monthly revenue without ads
A project management tool for agencies went from zero revenue a few weeks ago to $263 in . It now has 12 and many free users still trying the product. The first customers did not come from ads.
Agency owners were contacted one by one inside Slack groups and Discord servers. Some replied, many ignored the message, and some tried the tool for a couple of days before leaving. The users who stayed became the most useful customers because they gave direct feedback about broken parts, missing , and what they wanted the product to do.
That feedback was more useful than a numbers at this stage. The helped more than expected because many people started there, got used to the tool, and upgraded when they reached the limits. The main mistake was spending months adding before getting the first user, while the repeated thought of “one more feature before launch” was really a way to delay launching.
