Ex-Tesla engineer validated Marky as a done-for-you consultancy first ("don't build software too early — software is a sunken cost"), launched the SaaS Sept 2023, and doubled every ~6 weeks to ~$40K MRR / ~3,000 customers by mid-2024 — supercharged by a top-3% AppSumo campaign grossing ~$770K across repeated 2024–2025 runs. That lifetime-deal volume explains why all-time revenue ($948K) dwarfs current MRR. By Aug 2026 MRR is $23.9K and declining (-25% last 30 days per TrustMRR), the AppSumo deal is sold out, and the .md profile shows a $495K asking price.
The founder's own account: the 60-day AppSumo campaign "grossed approximately $770,000" and ranked "in the top 3% of all AppSumo campaigns" — with repeat flash-sale runs into 2025. The listing shows 318 reviews at 4.44 stars on a $79 lifetime tier.
A dedicated agency product ("clients never see Marky"): white-labeled client portal, bulk generation and approval workflows at $229/mo — agencies reselling under their own brand as a built-in distribution channel.
80 sitemap URLs: 10 /for trade verticals (dentists, electricians, landscapers…), industry pages, 12+ marky-vs-X comparison posts (Buffer, Hootsuite, Canva) and free caption-generator tool pages.
30% recurring lifetime commission plus a 5% second tier on recruited affiliates, run on FirstPromoter with ready-made promo assets — review-site social proof (G2 4.8, Capterra 4.5) closes the loop. The "200,000+ businesses" homepage claim is unverified against 531 paying subs.
