$10k, almost

Just signed a consulting agreement with Carrd to do technical support work for them. 2h per day, Monday to Fridays. This is on top of the work I’ve been doing for them on X.

An extra $2k per month.

So let’s tally all my freelance gigs:

• Carrd on X = US$1500
• Carrd support = US$2000
• Podseeker = S$2600 / US$1900
• TOTAL = US$5400 / S$7300

This excludes my product revenue. I just need about US$2k product revenue to hit the proverbial S$10k/month. And that’s just in Singapore dollars, the very first milestone I aim to hit (next is US$10k, in US dollars). On a good month like Black Friday November, my Carrd plugins can close the gap. But most months it’s just US$1k. Shortfall of $1k. I have since stopped all consulting work in design, so no more revenue there, or anywhere else.

So I got my work cut out.

The challenge is carving out 2h per day means 2h less per day for my indie products. The time has to come from somewhere. That means less time spent on my products, and potentially slower growth, less revenue… products which I’m banking on to close the gap…

A bit of catch-22 here.

But not gonna let it slow me down. $1k is perfect. $1k is a great starting goal to go for for a new SaaS.

Let’s go!
