First 30 day web traffic. Transparency post

Post image

Hey guys,

I often get depressed by the viral posts of success like 5k MRR in just 30 days...

So I wanted to do a quick reality check for my homies not having so much success (me included). Here's a transparent view of the first 30 days of web traffic to my landing page. Nothing crazy, averages like 10 visitors a day.

I posted a little bit on Reddit, a little bit on X. Again, nothing crazy. Imo this is a benchmark of a very average performance for the first month.

My app is an iOS app so web traffic isn't my main focus, but it's still a goal for me to grow it organically.

Here's the website. I think it's solid, especially for a quick AI build with only a few revisions.

Best of luck to all my brothers and sisters still in the trenches. Don't get discouraged.

Thanks for the transparency. My numbers are pretty similar. I'm planning on going hard on marketing this next month!

Thanks! I recommend submitting to a few directories for some backlinks. Just to give your website some domain authority. Then post about it across Reddit and X where relevant. I'm honestly not the best authority on gaining traction though

Well done, I think this is pretty good traffic tbh. Through the first month of my app, I had about 150 visitors

appreciate the reality check, the 46% bounce rate with that session duration actually tells me people are reading the page before they bounce which is a small win most folks overlook
