Tiiny Host hits $2,000 MRR 📈🎉

Thank you 🙏

It's not easy for sure! And a bit of cat and mouse game. We've been blocked of the internet a few times due to bad content 😫

It's currently a combination of automated code scanners & manual review. We have IP blocking and fraud detection through Stripe. We're also planning on utilising AWS's ML image recognition service for an extra layer of security soon.

Shameless plug - I'm solving this for SaaS devs with https://appmasker.com. I'm happy to talk shop if you're curious how it works.

We used AWS exclusively. CloudFront + Certificate Manager is a good combination.

Ah wow, thank you for following since Day 1 Brayden! Yup, it's definitely been a rollercoaster and I've learned so much in the past couple of years. Definitely couldn't have reached here without the support of the community so really keen on sharing as much advice as I can. If you every need anything, just DM me :)

We don't currently use any generator. If you're talking about our templates? Then they're just pre-compiled templates.

Thank you 🙏

Thank you!

I've never used NextJS so can't speak for it. Ours is quite simple:

• ReactJS
• NodeJS
• AWS (EC2, S3, CloudFront, DynamoDB)

I recommend using a stack which you are comfortable with and can iterate quickly on. The most important thing is shipping, not a fancy tech stack.

Thank you!

Thank you!

It's a combination, but I highly recommend creating landing pages targeting specific keywords. Heres a few of ours:

• https://tiiny.host/free-static-website-hosting
• https://tiiny.host/zip-site-web-hosting

But also blog posts and general content around a topic all get fed to Google to increase the presence of your domain. https://tiiny.host/blog

We tried many different things. I think it's important in the beginning to sprinkle your seeds all over the internet and seeing what sends you the most growth.

Having said that, certain products are well suited to certain channels. Tools are definitely suited to SEO because people search for solutions to problems like "host html page"

Thank you!

Yep definitely!

Get a subscription to ahrefs or semrush just for a trial (expensive but we'll worth the investment)

Search for keywords related to your product and app, low key word difficulty but high search volume.

Create landing page and content relating to them.

I talk about it here: https://www.podpage.com/indie-bites-1/600-mrr-and-150-new-users-per-day-with-seo-and-marketing-elston-baretto-tiiny-host/

We have been meaning to, it's definitely something we'll release over the next few weeks.

Thanks for the suggestions 🙏

Thanks Charlie 🙌🚀

Thank you! 🙌

We use Paddle to accept PayPal subscriptions. It was the quickest and easiest way. Wish stripe accepted it. A surprising amount of people feel safer paying through PayPal online. You can see that a quarter of sales come through it. I'd definitely recommend accepting it early. It makes sense when it's a product that you've come across for the first time.

Regarding conversions, currently thinking along many lines such as attracting higher quality customers, targeting new niches, tweaking price plans and onboarding flows. I think a lot can be achieved through refining the smaller things.

Thanks Jack 😊 glad to inspire!

You're right, speed is important! We use S3 + Cloudfront so are as quick as our users need us to be. Haven't needed to scale past that at the moment.

Thanks Ellen! Nope you dont, thats the best part. You just need an account with Paddle and they handle everything. Simplest integration. The PayPal API is a mess.

Thank you 🙏 Niching down is definitely the way at the beginning.
