Short excerpt
"500+ clients, $23K MRR"
The author strings together a timeline of failures, sales, and ChatSEO growth since 2022.
Revenue clues
- ChatSEO reached 500+ clients and $23K MRR in 6 months; the author previously achieved Crumb's $1,500 MRR, peaked at $2,600 MRR, and finally sold $40K to repay investors; the new project had a first order of $29; another post on the same day showed $2K day; the complete cost/profit was not disclosed
- The author combined the SEO, TikTok SEO, Reddit marketing and vibe coding that he learned in the previous round; the ChatSEO landing page went online in 2 days and got 400 sign-ups within a few days; he conducted 70+ user interviews and used core customer portraits to guide the product
Summary
This article is suitable for studying "channel capability migration of failed projects": Crumb did not let the author make any money, but forced him to learn organic marketing; the speed of ChatSEO comes from connecting SEO pain, fast landing page, early signups and user interviews. Don’t just look at $23K MRR, it’s more worth looking at the capability reuse from a $40K small exit to new SaaS.
