Yesterday's top learnings:
Tech:
Today's goals:
Will upload my session later. Wifi is bad.
Tech:
- Structure React Native Project using folders for
- assets (images...)
- components (reusable throughout the app)
- screens (basically the views for the user)
- config (reusable styles like colors.js)
- Structuring project is important especially when working in a team (wich is something I might want to do later) and to be able to reuse components / screens (which is something I definitely will do later, as I'm planning to stay in the SaaS game for longer)
- For handling swipes import Gesture Handler components like "Swipeable"
- IMPORTANT: DO NOT REINVENT THE WHEEL!!!!!
- Use resources like React Native UI Toolkits:
- React Native Elements (looks cool, suggested to use by Mosh)
- React Native Paper (looks shit)
- Native Base (looks cool)
- Native Base Startup (100+ screens React & React Native, but Paid! check out free screens in the future)
- Outsource development to Indian Dev using Upwork
- Fire fast, if it's not working out
- If something goes wrong during communication, IT'S MY FAULT for not explaining in a way the dev guy can understand this
- Asynchronous working hours (place task in the evening, get results in the morning)
- superior work ethics compared to EU / US Dev
- 15-25 US$ range per hours
- Have extensive interview with indian dev, ask questions, look for Github repo and ask what they built there exactly (What exactly is Github?)
- 2.000 $ - 5.000 $ per project
- Find guys that already work for a US corporation (Amazon)
- For now, I will continue my learning progress, as I still don't have a good understanding of coding. In the future outsource more to teams in India but be able to understand what they do and to do quick bug fixes, changes, and more advanced (IP) stuff on my own.
- DO NOT REINVENT THE WHEEL FOR SaaS!!!
- Rip off code from Github whenever possible
- Use the following resources instead:
- Pegasus Django Boilerplate for SaaS (What the F*ck is Django? What does it do? Research later)
- Forest Kit for Webflow (for beautiful Frontend)
The frontend has to look awesome or I won't be able to charge a higher price. Build trust with beautiful frontend - Artboard Dashboard Webpage Template for Webflow (looks great, use for dashboards)
- Bulkit SaaS Landing Pages
- Find products that already are working but look likes shit, make them beautiful
- Find products that are being used sold a Excel Template or whenever a whole industry uses Google Sheets or Excel to solve a problem => This is a business opportunity for SaaS
- B2C: HELL NO! Very high number of customers needed for 10 $ / mo product!
- B2B: BAD! This takes forever to close as decisions in Corporations / Companies take forever
- B2H! Business 2 Hustler: AWESOME! Think: Freelancers, Consultants, Investors, e-com guys, Agency Owners,... Huslers. Whenever someone is looking to improve the way they make money and grow their income. THIS is a great niche to be in. Why? Willing to invest! High ticket price. Look at 200-500 $ / mo range!
- Tools to use while building SaaS:
- Use Logging and log every user action. Helps see what people are doing and helps understand users
- Serenity (track broken code)
- AWS Cloudwatch (no clue what this does, really, something about open S3 buckets... wtf?)
- Intercom (let users give you feedback, expensive)
- A feedback button is needed everywhere
Today's goals:
- 2-3 hours of solid programming along with the Mosh course on React Native.
- Stay focused and do not answer phone calls during work sessions.
- Finish React Native Course
- Build and release my first App
- Finish SaaS Masterclass
Will upload my session later. Wifi is bad.
