Ask HN: How Hard Is $10K MRR in a B2C SaaS?

Imagine this:

You’re building a $15/month SaaS.

To hit $10K MRR, you only need about 700 paying users.

Now, suppose you’re an indie hacker with no audience — but you have a stable income from your day job and can afford to run ads.

Will it be hard to get there?

You need X new users a month where X = 700 * churn rate. So if you churn 10% you need 70 new users a month to stabilise at 700.

It's a hard goal BTW but might depend on how lucky you are. I.e. easy if you are lucky but hard for most.
