Unnamed Shopify App Portfolio reached $3k MRR across 6 Shopify apps | Slyyl31 story | MRR Journey

This story is about a small portfolio of six Shopify apps rather than one named product. The founder says three of the six apps generate nearly all of the revenue, and the core approach was building for real merchant problems encountered first-hand in the founder's own ecommerce operations.
What worked
- Building apps to solve problems the founder experienced in their own ecommerce store.
- Getting first customers through Shopify App Store ASO and keyword optimization.
- Using helpful Reddit replies in ecommerce communities as a secondary acquisition loop.
