Great. But let’s be honest, it’s probably because you made some noise on social media. Average Joe would have lost his money.

What do your customers think about the fact that they have to bring their own key?

92% of SaaS companies fail. Why do you think that is?

It's time to pivot. New offer, new marketing angle, new marketing strategy. I'm thinking about doing a "build in public". If I do, I will show you literally everything. - every strategic decision I make and why. - every mistakes I make. - every lesson I learn from my mistakes. Why? Because transparency not only helps me stay accountable but can also provide you with valuable insights into what works and what doesn’t. If you want to follow along and learn from my experience, like & RT. Let’s grow!

Building a B2B SaaS in Public. First Update: Goal: See if we can generate quality leads for cheap using Meta Ads. Plan: Capture leads with Meta Ads, then send them an email sequence leading to a landing page selling our subscription. You might ask, why not redirect to the landing page directly from the ad? Here’s why: 1. Our CAC will probably be lower this way. 2. Pay once for the lead, then send them regular emails with success stories of their competitors using our product. They might convert later. 3. (my personal favorite:) I can call leads who don’t buy. I’ll either convert them on the call or learn why they didn’t buy. It’s a win either way. To be continued. Stay tuned.

"Introvert" is just a made-up term a lot of people use to make excuses. If I had embraced that label, I’d still be a nerd coding alone in my room, scared of the world. If you don't make an effort to step outside of that label, you'll miss life-changing opportunities. The key to financial success is people. Talk to them.

At the end of the day, it's easy to bash a VC-backed startup. Most of them fail, and you end up being right. It would be more impressive to predict when a startup succeeds.

Rule #1: Speed is important. Don’t get stuck in the endless cycle of perfecting every detail before launch. Btw, speed doesn't mean low quality. You've been brainwashed to think that. Be fast, be great. I'm going to show you how it's done during my "build in public" journey.

Too many people here talking about their tech stack. (nobody cares) What's your marketing stack? (be honest)

Perfectionism is an excuse for procrastination. Definitely build in public. Market before building

With B2C SaaS, you often need more customers to generate revenue. This means a higher volume of users and more customer service. Churn rate is also higher on average. B2B SaaS might have longer sales cycles, but it brings larger contracts with better retention rates. I prefer working on B2B. If you had the choice, which one would you choose?

Always use virtual cards you can easily delete.

A disciplined fool will outshine a lazy genius any day of the week. To anyone blessed with high intellect: don’t let arrogance sabotage you. Don't assume you're smart just because you are. Stay humble and put in the work.

That's the principle of 80/20 metrics. It takes 20% of the effort to achieve 80% of the result. It takes 80% of the effort to achieve the remaining 20%. Keep going, you got this.

Lemon squeeze users, what made you choose them over stripe? And what does this acquisition mean for your business?

You think you’ve got a game-changing feature, but then… crickets from your users. They don't give a damn. What systems do you have in place to avoid this?

Sadly, you're wrong. No restaurant customer cares which knife the chef uses. In the same way, no SaaS user cares which tech stack you use.

Another specimen who can’t handle the truth. He gives people crappy advice, then when I call him out, he hides my reply, insults me, and blocks me. Typical weak-man behavior zero accountability, just runs away.

The quality of output in AI projects is a huge factor in their success. I see a lot of projects with great potential that are great in theory, but once you start using them, you find out the quality of the output is shit. It doesn’t matter if it’s writing copy, analyzing data, automating tasks, or writing emails. Quality is what makes or breaks an AI project.

This whole "solopreneur" thing is an illusion. If you are deliberately building alone, you're not an entrepreneur, you just found yourself a high-intensity, high-stress (probably low-paying) job. When you're alone, you're so limited. - You’ll make poor decisions because you're constantly executing, which makes you lack perspective and vision. - Your time is limited, so progress will be slow. Speed is important. - Your growth potential is limited. You'll get crushed. Learn to delegate.

I'm going to test a new offer for my SaaS. (maybe through high-ticket sales) Should I build it in public?

Neuralink just implanted a chip in a human brain for the second time. Elon plans to do this with 10 more people by the end of the year. This is scary. Would you ever get a chip in your brain?

Building B2B SaaS in public. Today's update: We’re launching our Facebook Lead Ads campaign. Budget: $150/day in ABO. Why $150 and not $30 like everyone else? Because of Rule #1. I can’t afford to wait a week to find out whether my offer is good. A higher ad budget is literally a cheat code to speed up time and get to the outcome faster. I’ll attach some screenshots of the campaign settings for the nerds out here.
