Micro-SaaS Journey Update: From Free to Revenue

Back in June 2024, I launched jsonviewer as a simple free service. At that time, I had no clue how tough (and exciting) the SaaS journey would be.

Less than 4 months ago, I decided to add a paid version. Today, looking at this sales dashboard feels surreal — not just because of the revenue, but because of the lessons learned:

SEO drops, experiments, and countless struggles 💡

Doing everything solo, from coding to customer support 🛠️

Building with minimal costs (just $9/year domain + free Cloudflare hosting)

Learning what it really takes to run a SaaS in the real world 📈

This isn’t just about earnings — it’s about growth, persistence, and the reality behind Micro-SaaS.

To anyone building or thinking of starting: start small, stay consistent, and keep learning.
