Finally! Replymer.com reached $5,000 MRR! 🔥
It's not as easy as we'd like.

Sep 16, 2024 - 1st launch → $0
Dec 5 - 2nd → $127
Apr 7 - 3rd → $5,136
Today → $6,587
I almost quit.
Then I saw how AutoShorts hit ~$100k MRR, mostly thanks to a built-in affiliate program.
That’s when I knew what I needed to build.
I created Refgrow.com, so anyone can do the same.

Refgrow just hit 25 paying customers and $6,500 in total revenue.
No ads or launch spike.
Just:
– Content on X, LinkedIn, Threads
– Cold DMs
– Affiliate referrals
– Demo programs I embedded manually
It's been slow, but I believe it will get faster.
