$2000/Month From His AI Quiz Generator

Ramsri Goutham Golla is the founder of Questgen, an AI-powered tool that generates quizzes from text prompts 🤖

He tweeted back in April…

Questgen.ai has been a really interesting journey for me!

1. Released an open-source GitHub library (700+ stars)
2. Made a course from the open-source library on Udemy (10k $+ in revenue)
3. Finally made the course into a SaaS (1600$ MRR)

A 3 yr journey of part-time independent research!

Sounds like he never intended to build a SaaS (software as a service).

But his GitHub library became popular and formed the base for his Udemy course 👀

Looks like he launched his SaaS in August 2021.

Here’s how Ramsri finds customers for his products…

Every month I get about 1500 new signups combined for the apps Supermeme.ai and Questgen.ai

I get ~400$ in NLP course sales with very little publicity about it.

All with 0$ for marketing

How? 

I drive 18k blog views every month on Medium and plug relevant links as necessary

Ramsri recently tweeted an update about Questgen…

Just hit 2000$ MRR 🚀

Solo, bootstrapped, and a fractional work side project! 85% profit margin. No affiliate pay. Growth via SEO. No recurring cost of customer acquisition (paid ads etc)

He adds…

I wrote blogs on Medium + have a GitHub repo on Questgen where I open-sourced some previously built tech (2 years ago). These are the main drivers of growth.

After some traffic, I optimized my landing page and added a lot of auxiliary pages to my main website for discoverability and SEO. It has been a slow and long journey.

His #1 tip for earning a living online…

Write blogs and create videos. Post your learnings on social media. If you are an expert, educate the audience. If you are an explorer, be their guide in saving time and energy.

Do it for 1–2 years straight. Without any expectations or rewards. You will build authenticity with content and affinity with frequency.
