This will be my last #buildinpublic post.

Too many competitors (12+) blatantly copying my site, messaging, pricing, marketing tactics, etc.

Most of the founders follow me on Twitter.

It pushes me to do better every day.

Here’s my last MRR a update.

Hopefully inspires someone

Whats the SaaS marketing strategy for Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

Discount from Friday to Monday?

Only on those days?

Only on one of those days?

Lots of users request Excel-related questions that aren't formulas, like how to build a pivot table.

I added a new section called "Basic Tasks" to answer these questions w/ step-by-step instructions.

Thoughts on the name "Basic Tasks"?

Other recommendation?

Programmatic SEO is so 🔥 right now thanks to Webflow & Bubble.

I just rolled out 50+ new pages in minutes for popular Excel formulas.

You just need 2 things - a database & page template.

Here’s 2 examples:

Anyone have a good @bubble resource on building a group subscription across multiple logins?

Ex: User creates account & email invites others to sign up but the Stripe subscription plan is only tied to one user but counts each user.

We’re going B2B!

#nocode #buildinpublic

Added @Localize to translate @excelformulabot in 4 languages - Spanish, German, French and Italian.

It covers 98% of traffic w/ English.

It’s not cheap @ $275/mo.

I’ll eventually build out using @bubble’s language translation.

Already seeing bump in engagement

Is it possible to apply a one month discount/coupon to a yearly subscription within Stripe?

Every way I set it up, it applies the discount for the entire year.

Haven’t been good about sharing updates here on excelformulabot, so here we go:

We’ve been live for a week and a half and have 50K+ users and 400+ subscribers & generated $7K in revenue.

This week - transactional emails and email verification.

Next week - SEO.

I’d say my @ProductHunt launch has been a success.

Hoping to crack the top 5 for the day!

Where’s the #excel, #nocode and #buildinpublic community at?

producthunt.com/posts/excelfor…

Soft launch of excelformulabot.com’s new website with subscriptions is in the books!

Very satisfied with results!

One day of sales too early to already put on @microacquire?

@ProductHunt 🚀 this week?

#buildinpublic

New site launched. Got two yearly subscribers in the first five minutes.

Holy validation.

Twitter indie hackers:

Go all in on your side projects, stop working for someone else.

Same Twitter indie hackers:

Just passed $100 in MRR!

Either VCs are handing out money or there’s a lot of solopreneurs that are struggling to make ends meet. Or both.

One of the most popular/difficult formula requests is to extract the domain name from email addresses in a column.

GPT3 knocks it out of the park:

=MID(A1,FIND("@",A1)+1,FIND(".",A1,FIND("@",A1))-FIND("@",A1)-1)

New site rolling out soon, then programmatic SEO!

#buildinpublic

Sneak peak of the new website and new feature!

Bootstrapping a business from the ground up while raising two kids and working a full time job is a true underdog, “Rudy”-esque story.

Hopefully I get to play more than one play.

Is this the best compliment a nocoder can receive?

I literally don't know anything about being a software engineer.

Thank @bubble for making me something I'm not.
