    Started a useless product to see if I can actually turn any sales

    IDEA 
    I've been inrigued with models that try and get sales first, before expanding on product development. Took inspiration from South Park, I want to see if I can actually get any engagement or even sales on my product that does nothing for you. ZenFund It's essentially a pdf that thanks the buyer...

    $65 made selling an eBook online. Now what?

    EXECUTION 
    Ads never worked. It was just videos on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram which steadily got people to click on the ebook link.

    $65 made selling an eBook online. Now what?

    EXECUTION 
    Oh never thought of it as a sales funnel. TBH, I think that I got sales because the content is truly good and informative. I was expecting to get a lot more sales initially, so I dunno if making higher quality videos would be key in creating this "sales funnel". Plus I'd been working on my...

    $65 made selling an eBook online. Now what?

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the kind words. Ads did nothing. It was really my social media channels that got ppl interested (I go over dribbling technique, and then mention there's an ebook in bio) I could create more content, particulalry Instagram reels and tiktok videos and youtube shorts, but it's not...

    $65 made selling an eBook online. Now what?

    EXECUTION 
    eBook I released for about 6 months now. Did advertising on google and facebook, but they don't really seem to work. Only when they watch my instagram, youtube, or tikotk videos and like the content, then they'll go to my about page and click the link and buy. Don't really see this scaling...

    Finding SAAS problems (not a quick google search): networking the key?

    SAAS / APPS 
    I'm trying to find B2B problems to find and build a SAAS solution. But they're not exactly a quick google search. I think other than being in the industry itself, it may be best to try and network and find problems certain businesses face. I'm considering trying to find convetions to see if I...

    Getting SAAS ideas for B2B?

    IDEA 
    Recently, I was advised against trying to build a SAAS direct to customer. Instead, they told me it was better to find a business problem and find the solution that way. Other than having direct industry experience, can anyone advise how to find these B2B problems to create a solution for? I'm...

    Recommended platform to hire AWS cognito integrator/developer?

    SOURCING 
    Thanks a ton for the advice. Yeah, I try to do as much as myself before resorting to hiring someone. Can I ask, do you do B2B for your SAAS? I recenlty shutdown my last project (app for chemistry exam prep for students) as I didn't really seen a huge demand for paid subscribers. I was told that...

    Whent to know to stop business idea and move on? What do "failures" look like?

    EXECUTION 
    It seems like a lot of successful entrepreneurs who failed describe their failures as something like "I made $100K, but the market dried up and my supplier ran out". For me (and I'm guessing many others) my failures are more about never getting it off the ground. For example, dropshipping (tried...

    Recommended platform to hire AWS cognito integrator/developer?

    SOURCING 
    Hey, thanks for the resource! I'll check it out. for now, just vanilla js on my frontend. Thing is, I'm just used to SQL Server as I use it at my full time job, but I can change if need be. So far, there are no problems on AWS. If I decide to go to OpenSea to cut costs for future mvp's, maybe...

    Recommended platform to hire AWS cognito integrator/developer?

    SOURCING 
    I mentioned in a previous post with my webapp that I made. For now, I'd like to test the need and if it's worth continuing by actually getting paid customers (i'm thinking like 5 bucks for each month for however many months they want). But, I need a login and token setup on my backend to give...

    Ask Me Anything About SaaS ( I'm building my 7th )

    GOLD! HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    Hello. I was wondering if you would advise trying to get paying customers right away to test the demand for your product? Or is good feedback enough at the start?

    AMA - I built a software company worth 8 figures

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION AMA 
    Interesting, thanks for replying. I guess I'm just worried about wasting too much time on one app (and going for a shotgun approach I guess). Not really concerned about the money at the beginning, it's more of an indicator that I should continue to work on it. Did you work on any apps prior to...

    AMA - I built a software company worth 8 figures

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION AMA 
    Thanks for doing this. As a software dev myself and trying to get something off the ground, I'm planning on creating potentially a string of web apps all with the same stack (html/js, nodejs, sql server, AWS) so that I can get a mvp up and running quickly. If the current one doesnt gain traction...

    Describe your first sale as an entrepreneur!

    EXECUTION NOTABLE! 
    Sold a copy of my eBook for soccer players for 5 bucks. I was estatic as this was the first time someone paid me over the internet for a product that I made. However, it was based on my youtube channel and content which I spent 3 years on to only get a dozen or so sales. So, been looking at...

    How to get feedback for prototype of webapp I made?

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    No, for now they just go one by one pulled from the databse. Is it important to make the website look pretty? I figure student mostly care about the actual study material. I've been tolk about Anki, but i need to see firsthand what it's like. My backup plan is to connect to ChatGPT AI so that...

    How to get feedback for prototype of webapp I made?

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    From this post webapp I made a webapp (OChemCoach) for chemistry students to practice exams. I posted on reddit and discord groups I found catered to students. The discord group had some positive feedback, but I couldn't really pinpoint what features the app needed next. Should I reach out to...
