@eliquid flash news: yesterday one guy pinged me that he wants to buy my business. To be honest, I didn't expect that one after just 2 months after first release. So far I have 23 customers (all from LTD deal) with no marketing budget so pure profit. I asked for a number (because it's hard for...

Sounds like you're using Firebase :D

Exactly, always behind someone. Not a great place to be. Is there any resource that I can read about becoming authority? I find myself always getting back to researching exotic cars prices, but I can't think about making business out of it lol so I need to find something that I can solve for...

Wow, that's actually very true. Yes, that's why when LTD guys asked me for a roadmap I said I don't have any - because I don't want to feel under pressure. So I went with you pay for what is here right now plus possible updates (and I do update app - recently with nice selection of filters and...

@eliquid I thought I will directly ask for little help. I have launched my SaaS last month and through LTD's (lifetime deals) I have now 22 customers. There is also community group for the app with 38 members (no requirement to be a customer, feel invited to check it out). I once made a survey...

Yes, and there are more to come. Probably even API which Word won't have in any time soon :) That's actually a business model on it's own. Forgot how it's called, but you take i.e. Craigslist and then select one of the categories and you can make a whole business around it. My angle is to make...

My market is SMB, but more on the small side. It's not about being rich or lazy - Word has bigger learning curve, for sure. To be honest, I first heard of this function in MS Word after I released my product. I'm bringing ease of use to the table - people don't want to think and scratch their...

Quick update: I officially launched a month ago and I already have 22 customers. I thought through again how to price it and this is what is working for me: Even though couple of people said that I should've limited number of spots and lower price a bit (because Lifetime Deals tend to be...

Could you elaborate more on how LTD was more of a technical issue? :D Yes, not sure if it's a trend though. To make SaaS sustainable (SaaStainable? lol) monthly payments are better for business. Otherwise, cost of acquiring new customers will be much higher. I treat LTD customers as investors...

Just recently I created lifetime deal and so far I got 13 customers (almost 800 euros made in two days). I decided to do that because I have almost no cost for keeping it running.

I just recently finished my first SaaS - DocTemple but I made a mistake of not testing early and not having people already waiting for that service. Now I struggle with finding my first customer.

Thanks, good points! It's nice to hear out from fellow software dev. How it's going for you because I believe you make standalone apps for desktop (as far as I know C#) so it's yet a bit different than making cloud app (most of them out there)?

Can you elaborate a bit more on that? I wish that would be that easy :D

Actually my goal is to have more personal freedom (that implies traveling) AND building wealth. Probably I should start with the latter (wealth creation) so I can achieve the former (freedom). I'm 31 now. My closest goals are: to make at least $5k/month (for peaceful life) from my own things...

@Fox from Fox's Web Design School? Woah - I wonder what brought him to Poland, it's kind of specific country to go to.
