Discover how a web developer turned a no-code solution into a side hustle goldmine.
Meet the Mastermind Behind Web3Forms
Enter Surjith: a front-end web developer by trade, part-time designer by passion, and the innovative founder of Web3Forms. His journey from creating sleek website templates to launching a suite of successful online platforms, including the likes of web3canvas.com and web3inspiration.com, set the stage for his latest venture.
The Birth of an Idea
Web3Forms sprang to life from a gap Surjith spotted in the static website market: a gaping need for backend-free contact forms. The existing PHP solutions were clunky, unreliable, and spam-prone. When the Jamstack era dawned, offering free static website hosting, Surjith seized the opportunity and crafted the sleek, serverless solution that is Web3Forms.
Strategic Marketing Moves
Surjith's marketing playbook kicked off with a buzz on Twitter and strategic shares within Reddit and Telegram communities. But it was the slow brew of SEO magic and content finesse that crowned Google as the champion for customer acquisition. Slow and steady, the Web3Forms empire began to rise.
Monetizing the Magic
Three cleverly tiered pricing plans starting at just $8 a month are Web3Forms' revenue pillars. Surjith's toolkit is minimalist yet mighty: Email for communication, Mailcoach for newsletter dispatches, and a cozy Telegram group to keep the user family connected. All while Umami.js analytics and Vercel hosting keep the digital engine purring.
A Day in the Life of a Solo Founder
Surjith's hustle with Web3Forms is a juggling act of passion, with daily support chats, feature upgrades, and ninja-fast bug fixes. It's a side project that demands daily attention but still thrives alongside his other ventures.
Parting Wisdom
In the competitive digital arena, Surjith's advice is golden: patience and passion are your best allies. Four years in, Web3Forms stands testament to his philosophy — slow growth leads to lasting success. Forget overnight victories; the long game is where true triumph lies.
