Growing From $5,000 to $25,000 in MRR (opens in new tab)

> If there’s any ‘growth hack’ that worked well for us, it’s been product integrations with successful companies. Early on, we looked at other companies with whom we shared mutual customers and with whom a product integration would be mutually beneficial. We built integrations with New Relic, Datadog, Pingdom, Librato, TempoDB, Heroku, and HipChat. Now, our signups love the fact that they can hook their status page up to their their existing tools with only a few clicks.

Lesson: integration and playing friendly with others is huge for B2B.

"At the bottom of every status page, we include a small, “Powered by StatusPage.io” link. While we felt uneasy about this at first, one of our mentors encouraged us to include the link and it has worked incredibly well... One-third of new signups and customers originate from our existing customers' status pages."

Love it. We've had a few moments like this at Paydirt (http://paydirtapp.com/). As engineers, we tend to have hangups about little details like this that customers genuinely don't give a second thought to, and they can be a means to massive (and multiplicative!) business wins.

Now you're talkin! When you first posted the $5k/mo blog, I was like "ok, that's better than nothing, but let me know when you've got something that can support employees". At $25k/mo you're definitely well on your way there! At $100k you've got a $1m+ business, which is great.

Kudos, keep it coming!

I noticed on your signup page there are a few company logos being cut off for me. Seems to be some excess margin on the h5 element that is forcing the logos into the border.

What's your process from taking a new idea for growth and implementing it?

Zapier integration next would be logical.

Only 3 people with 100k of funding in less than one year, impressive!

Congratulations Danny and team, looking forward to the $100k blog post!

Nice work, thanks for the write up!

So happy for you guys!
