SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONThanks for the kick and the a$$ and also for linking that Paul Graham post. These parts stuck out to me: Plan for the week is to do a lot of 'comparatively untargeted' outreach and see what sticks. Hustle to my first user and then my first 5, 10, etc.- Chx

19 Years Old - Building First SaaS
SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONLaunched yesterday and sent ~80 cold emails today, to a list of marketing agency owners scraped using my own tool. Got 3 responses. 1 wanted a demo next week, 1 got on a call right away with me but was not a good fit customer, 1 said the tool was "perfect timing" for them but hasn't subscribed...- Chx

SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONI need to stop f*cking around and LAUNCH. Today and tomorrow I'm going to finish all essential features (payment processing, email) Anything else, at this point, is a distraction. I've been getting a lot of urges to improve the UI, start posting on Twitter, fix small bugs, and add new...- Chx

Fastlane Opportunities for Writers
HOT! IDEA@MTF the self-improvement youtuber "Hamza" (link) has talked about this struggle too. On his main channel he posts flashy 2-5 min videos filled with entertainment, persuasion tactics, and dopamine. But you won't learn much from these videos. The real value is in the 30+ min videos on his...- Chx

14 y/o wanna-be-highschool(9th grade)- dropout.
HOT! INTRO@Awakened potato I started at 15. So I know how frustrating it is to pour most of your time into school, and have very little time left for business. But that 1-2 hours a day (and a bit more on the weekends) is all you really need at this point in your journey. It was enough for me -- to...- Chx

SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONWhat I've done since my last update: Added a second layer of email verification, through another 3rd-party API that has a good reputation for catching bounces. Now, when I use BOTH layers I can add the value skew of "Double-verified emails" and have better results for my customers, because...- Chx

SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONF*ck. I'm using a 3rd party API to find verified emails based on name and domain, and before today believed that they were actually verified... Today on a whim I sent a test email to 7 of the email addresses my system had obtained and one of them bounced. Which means, my system will need to...- Chx

SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONSO - the core functionality of my software is done. You can type in any industry and location and get emails of releveant contacts according to that search. I used my software to get 312 leads (across a few industries) for a web design agency owner and he paid $137 for it. Things that went...- Chx

SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONHey @maverick, I appreciate your input. Here's why I'm building a product right now as opposed to doing demand validation: 1. In a saturated market, demand is already proven Lead generation software has proven demand, because there are already dozens of competitors in the space. Direct...- Chx

The Commandment Of Need
IDEAThere aren't millions of people who have a lot of money to spend on products/services. The average person has little money. Rich business owners have a lot of money. So you can either provide a small amount of value to millions (B2C - think Netflix), or a large amount of value to thousands (B2B...- Chx

SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONOk, as things stand this will be my strategy to get my first customers 1. Use my own software to get a bunch of B2B service provider email addresses 2.

SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONYeah, and you could probably do all that with Zapier and boom, you've created a product. (Although if I was doing the dating service idea I'd make the matches and send the emails manually at first, and that would still be an MVP because it can show whether people want it or not) Yeah I'm sure...- Chx

SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONYes you're right - Minimum Viable Product One important thing about making an MVP is that it does NOT need to be a website or software, even if your final product is gonna be a website or software. Ex. If you want to build a dating matchmaking website, your MVP would be a Google form where...- Chx
