    SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Great question. My first 3 articles have just been personal posts of a 'Founder' nature. Ranging from tiny 300 word post to a medium 900 word post. They have to do with my values / motivation behind the company... also to our methods for finding Real Needs... and some musing on Startup Tips for...

    SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Hello to anyone following along tonight on my voyage! I'm feeling great and light-hearted today, there is wind in the sails ;) It's late at night on Tuesday (technically early on Wednesday). Today was 2/3 Tutoring Biz, 1/2 SaaS, and 1/4 Life (yeah I know that doesn't add up lol). Today I...

    White label email marketing software

    MARKETING 
    I'm also interested in this topic, although I have little to offer - coming from the point of view of a total Coding novice. Even hearing the terminology, possible solutions, and names of common software is very helpful to me at this point. Thanks to all for sharing so far - I'm interested to...

    SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the words of encouragement! It means a ton to me!! For sure, the cold email book I read is called Grow Your Business with Cold Emails by Jeremy Chatelaine, the creator of QuickMail... which is a cold-emailing SaaS that he built with his own experiences. I got it as a Kindle book on...

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Thanks man! I LOVE to hear that other people are feeding off the energy. It's weird how energy isn't "limited", it's more like.. the more you send out, the more you get back. So, you also inspire me - thank you for that!! As for the Google Results already being 2nd page, I'm sure that's a mix...

    For sure I will, thanks man! Give me a bit, just catching up with stuff today, but I'll be in touch by PM soon. I agree, I'm definitely happy to find all the knowledge on Idea Extraction that other people have shared before me... It's awesome that there's an entire Language and Vocabulary for...

    SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Always a little tired on Monday (after busy weekend of Tutoring Biz). Still, today was very productive for the SaaS. Here's what we got done for SaaS today: Read & took notes on the first 1/2 of an excellent Cold Emailing book. Narrowed in on the Cold Email service I'll use (based on advice in...

    What Are Your Methods for Identifying Needs?

    Lolol, the ironies. I just ordered "4 Steps to the Epiphany" in hardback off Amazon, another Steve Blank book. To me, "get out of the office" also means a lot of Cold-Emailing, Cold-Calling. Steve says this himself every now and then - you don't literally have to be out-of-doors. For me, it...

    What Are Your Methods for Identifying Needs?

    Hah, great question. That is one I'll have to leave in the air, as I really haven't given B2C as much thought for this current project. Good eye! Dane Maxwell and the Foundation were a big influence on me (one of many, I'll say - since ultimately he's just repackaging the Lean Startup...

    What Are Your Methods for Identifying Needs?

    If you want to go deep, read my current thread on SaaS startup. There's a lot to read because there's a lot to learn and do. I'm actively doing Customer Development (i.e. finding NEEDS) as we speak. Most of my methods would apply for any business, any industry. It's a lot of work, but can get...

    SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Today (Sunday) is my ultra-busy day for Tutoring Biz, so I had to focus on that. I felt 'burnt out' on Prospecting so I didn't force myself to get 75 for today. Plus, I already have 500 prospects in my first target industry for Customer Development. What I need most now is A) to go to EXTROVERT...

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Today has been a great day, good progress. Was busy with a lot of Tutoring Biz stuff (Saturday / Sun are always busy). Still, here's what I got done today for the SaaS company: Decided on my Software Company name (notes below). Registered the URL / domain plus the only possible misspelling of...

    Valuation question. SaaS business

    SAAS / APPS WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hey man, I'm working on my SaaS startup and have been researching this stuff for months. Valuation multiples are part of why I finally decided to switch from my high-end tutoring to SaaS. Of course - take what I'm saying with a HUGE grain of salt. This is no kind of professional advice, just...

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Just got back from hanging out with a good old friend and old roommate! Today was extremely productive and satisfying. Not everything went into SaaS, but it was a balanced blend of Life / SaaS / Tutoring Biz. Here's what I got done for the day: Added 75 new SaaS prospects to spreadsheet. Came...

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    OK, done for the day. In addition to running the tutoring business (easy/short day today), I feel like I made excellent (incremental) progress on the SaaS. Here's what we accomplished today: Attended a local 50-person Business Networking meeting (was invited/sponsored by one of my Prospects)...

    Thanks for the advice bro! I like to converse in this thread so hope you don't mind if I reply directly :) Is that you in the Ferrari? Beautiful car. 1) Completely agree about focusing on NEEDS in the outside world, not what you want for yourself. Basically that's what the past 2 weeks, and...
