How we reached $10k MRR in 9 months with zero paid ads

Hi community! I wanted to write a quick guide explaining how we scaled our Micro-SaaS to $10,000 Monthly Recurring Revenue. 1. Cold outreach: We scraped LinkedIn and sent personalized Loom videos to target buyers. 2. SEO & Blogging: We wrote 15 comparison articles (e.g. "SaaS-Atlas vs CompetitorX"). 3. Launch directories: Product Hunt, Indie Hackers, and startup databases.

This is awesome! Did you offer free trials or did you require credit card upfront?

We did credit card upfront with a 7-day trial. It reduced signups but drastically increased the conversion-to-paid rate (around 70%)!

Makes sense, helps filter out tire kickers. Thanks for sharing!
