How a Solo Dev Hit 10K MRR With a Chrome Extension

Episode notes

Episode 103 of The Indie Hacker Podcast dives into the surprising economics of browser extensions. Lucas and Luna break down how a solo developer built a Chrome extension that generates $10,000 in monthly recurring revenue by solving a niche problem for e-commerce store owners. They explore the specific tactics: a free tier that converts at 8%, a pricing page that charges per 1,000 actions, and a distribution strategy that relies entirely on the Chrome Web Store search rankings. The hosts also discuss why extensions are an overlooked SaaS distribution channel - lower barrier to entry, built-in install base, and no need for a website. Plus, a look at the developer's key metric: time-to-first-value under 30 seconds. If you think Chrome extensions are just for ad-blockers, this episode will change your mind. #ChromeExtension #SoloDeveloper #SaaS #MRR #IndieHacker #MicroSaaS #Ecommerce #BrowserExtension #ChromeWebStore #Subscription #Revenue #Bootstrapping #SideProject #ProductLedGrowth #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #IndieHackerPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
