🏆 Step 1: Define "Winning"

• I want to launch a fully automated side project that makes ≥$1,000 MRR by month 4 so that I can have some extra spending cash.

<aside> 😄 Good Outcome → Side project that does $1,000 MRR

</aside>

<aside> 🤩 F#$@ Yea! Outcome → Side project that does $2,500 MRR

</aside>

<aside> ⏲️ Timeframe → I want to pull this off within 4 months

</aside>

🚫 Step 2: Set My Anti-Goals

💩 Don't Want

• Hire or manage anyone
• Take more than an hour a week trying to grow or optimize it

💎 Want

• Use only no-code tools
• After initial setup, I want it to essentially run itself
• Practice getting an MVP into the world and optimize it once it's working

Analysis

So it looks like to hit my F#$@ Yea! goal ($2,500 MRR), I'll need to find 278 customers paying $9 each month. That sounds doable, and I can always raise my prices to hit revenue goals. The main challenge here will be deciding on additional information I could add to each alert to incrementally raise the monthly subscription (and if this is worth doing). Also, a bonus would be tracking the results of what would happen if a hypothetical person would make buys according to the alerts, since a positive result would be great for marketing and potentially allow me to charge more. I could also consider adding referral links to trading platforms like Robinhood or Webull to help increase MRR.
