Everyone just overcomplicate it while it lies in simplicity. The idea first came to me as a newsletter, so I thought since AI keywords search are higher these days in Google, let me built a whole AI articles site Then eventually funneling the traffick to a newsletter, but I hate AI newsletters(and ...

My goal was to make a video game backlog tracker that would help with tackling the main issue a lot of gamers have which is choice paralysis - theres something new every week and over time the backlog gets MASSIVE check it out at ----> tracklog .co.uk There's a trial which i recommend everyone try, your feedback and any questions you may have mean the world to me Thank you!

I’m trying to understand whether this is a real pain or just something people say sounds useful. Specifically: - competitor website changes - pricing changes - new features / launches - messaging changes - blog / SEO / content moves If you have a system, what do you use? If you don’t, what usually goes wrong? And if this is a pain, what’s the most annoying part of it? I’d love to hear how people actually handle this today. [...

Took two days to really create a thought out onboarding flow and got my first subscriber the same day (previous payment was me 😭) https://preview.redd.it/38alb4yid07h1.png?width=2534&format=png&auto=webp&s=12781be099abb5abc580fb7233a7145fe9de369e

When I first started working closely with SaaS products, I assumed competition looked like this: "Our CRM vs their CRM." "Our analytics tool vs their analytics tool." "Our platform vs their platform." But after enough sales calls and lost deals, I realized something different. A surprising number of prospects aren't comparing you to another SaaS product at all. They're comparing you to: a spreadsheet an internal process an operations person a w...

Hey all, I posted not that long time ago about an outreach tool, got grilled for the pricing, and the offer, repackaged it, increased the price 10x, provided the value for users first, and started the manual outreach, and it worked! That's actually the first thing that worked reliably, I'm right now on 3 day streak of paying customers, and getting a good feedback from them, optimizing, fixing stuff, and scaling. I tried seo, ads for a while none of that provided reliable results, however n...

So, generally, in the world of customer support we see an emergency of pay-per-resolution pricing models where you only pay if the AI actually solves the customer’s problem for you. This is usually priced pretty cheap, like 0,99 dollars per resolution. 1.000 questions handled by AI would cost you 990 dollars. Still a lot cheaper than paying someone to answer those same 1.000 questions. So it does seem like good value. But that also means that if your webshop has a good month and you’ve mad...

Talking to a lot of early-stage founders lately, one thing is clear: finding your first users is brutal it’s a struggle for basically everyone. The hard part isn’t building. It’s knowing where people are already expressing the problem you solve, instead of burning hours guessing and cold-DMing into the void. A pattern keeps coming up from the founders who crack it: there’s no magic channel. They get obsessive about tracking where their ICP actually complains (not where they browse), and they l...

Hey everyone, Like many of you, I've been using YouTube downloaders for years. But honestly? They're all painful to use: Copy the video URL Open some sketchy website Paste the URL Close 3 pop-up ads Wait 30 seconds Finally click download I got tired of it. So I built something different. **YouTubeXX** – a downloader that works while you're still watching the video. Here's how simple it is: While watching any YouTube video, just change `youtube.com` to `youtu...

Trying to name a SaaS I'm building and the domain hunt is killing me. Every name I actually like is taken, parked, or being squatted for $2k+. The stuff that's available is either a mangled spelling, some weird TLD, or three random words mashed together. How do you all actually do this? A few specific things I'm stuck on: Do you start from the brand name and check availability, or browse what's available first and pick a name from that? Feels backwards to let the domain dictate the brand but...

Hi everyone, I am the founder of Fotocaja. I post this topic because I think I'm a little bit nervous and get lost. I have already posted few topics on Reddit about my app, post on launching sites, tell it to friends. But the result still not my expectation, it's about 20 visits app per day, but only few user create project to try it, mostly user just scolling the app. I don't know what I do wrong? What should I improve. Everyone here always say that: find an idea to work on is hard, make it w...

As the title. i was curious, do the creators of the product create a separate free version of the app or use coupon code to make the product free for themselves?

We are a small team who work on getting our saas live. And we, literally all of us uses our very tool everyday. ​ When it came to promotions, we were spending on ads to get traction and then we shifted to $249 influencer colab platform for promotion and that has got us 39 paying users. With ads cac used to be 42 and now 249 got us 39 in two weeks... ​ It's simply demand, if you don't have any use case, how do you expect people to pay for it ? ​ Stop wasting yo...

I’ve been working on a few saas related to different niche non-tech and one of my main struggles has been credibility. Seems like the product I built does everything and solve a pain problem that is expected but very few companies are willing to try. Seems like everyone is scared of trying or trust someone like who rather not build in public or not already established. For privacy reasons I rather not put my face out there and become the face of my saas. Anyone else struggling at early stag...

If AI makes everything easier and faster for us, why do I find myself busier than ever now? In 1865 economist William Jevons noticed that while more efficient steam engines were being invented, which should in theory result in less coal consumption, the opposite was actually happening. The improved engines made coal power dramatically cheaper and more practical, industries expanded its use, leading to a massive increase in total coal consumption. This became known as “Jevon’s Paradox”, which...

I see this a lot, whenever I connect with fellow Founders, through reddit or LinkedIn. the path to getting some organic attention is posting online, and AI did make lot of work easier, so it can be done, with little tweaks Still I see not many post on linkedIn, and focus only on tech alone. Is it because of the LinkedIn offers that are there today or because you guys don't see results or something?

Disclaimer: I wrote ~1000 words of bullet points and used an LLM (with my project's SEO docs as reference) to expand it to ~2,800 words. Every strategy, number, and mistake below is mine. I saw u/TartarusTheBull 's post about 3 months of pure SEO and wanted to share my own numbers. I bought my domain exactly 35 days ago and started Google indexing around 25 days ago (May 17). I'm at 30 clicks from Google, 25 clicks from Bing, and about 3,000 total impressions. Zero paid ads. I've seen a ...

What do you do to validate your idea? How do you come up with the problem to fix? Will anyone use it? Will anyone pay for it? Or do you just start building, putting money into something and wishing for the best?

It feels soooo way freaking good!! I just made my first few sales. I have zero coding background, and after weeks of battling with Claude with all the caps lock, I still can't believe it I built a SaaS lol! I don't know if the numbers are bad or whatsoever, and I haven't got time to properly market it yet but all I know is that I can't explain the feeling, it's just unreal.

I make enough money from my main job. Bills get paid, investments get funded, life is good. A while ago I built a small SaaS tool to solve a problem I kept running into at work. I wasn't trying to start a business. I just wanted something that worked better than my spreadsheet. Eventually I put it online and started charging for it. The funny thing is that the money barely matters. When someone signs up for $4.99, I get way more excited than when my paycheck hits my bank account. Every...

For those SaaS builders that are using AI-tooling - do you document the code they output? How do you do it? Are you asking the AI to document its own work, using a third-party tool, doing it yourself? Genuinely curious if people are writing their own docs to better understand what the code being shipped does, or if docs are ignored because it's maintained by AI? I've personally found that having solid docs (and a good way to surface them to agents) improves consistency and quality, I'd say ...

I have been building a niche SaaS for repair shops, and I hit a point this week that was much harder than I expected. The app already had customers, jobs, photos, scheduling, inventory, user roles, permissions, and reporting inputs. It was finally starting to feel like a real product instead of a collection of features taped together at 2 a.m. and built on medication and caffeine. (Yes, I'm OCD among many other things) Then I had to split it into "comes with paid" and "add-on ...

I want to create a timeline of my experience with SuperCool (Deal.ai Inc.) so others know what they are getting into before they store a payment method with this platform. In January I signed up for their $8/month plan. In May I logged in and asked their AI tool some tips for my website. That is the whole request I made. I was not looking for a build. I was not asking for deployment. I wanted ideas. Without showing me a pricing screen, without confirming, without sending a single email not...

We often spend weeks building big features, but sometimes a tiny change has the biggest impact. What's the smallest tweak you've made to your product, website, pricing, onboarding, or marketing that led to surprisingly strong growth? What changed, and what was the result?

hey guys, I released my desktop utility last month and got some 100+ downloads, low-traffic, and that was it. But then two days ago, I got a stripe notification that someone paid for my app which made me very happy: $8 per month. But here is the thing, the guy never opened the app again since I do not see any posthog events, and I do not see any difference in my Claude credits, that means guy never used it after paying 💀 I feel bad, should I refund? Thnx

Honestly, just two months ago, I was ready to give up. I was convinced nobody wanted what I built, and I was too scared to charge anyway. Having three sales hit is something I didn’t dare dreaming of back then. Seeing these notifications today is just the craziest feeling. It's just surreal people really pay for my product.

I was head down, focused on building my product, but it was only when I finally launched that I realized I had entered a crowded market. Yes, “screen recording.” It was hard promoting it because people have now seen more screen recorders than Tinder profiles. Instead of getting discouraged, I rolled up my sleeves and got into marketing. I posted every day on Twitter, coded new features, created content, reached out to people on LinkedIn, posted in Reddit groups, launched on Product Hunt, and w...
