if you're pushing solo projects, hoping to get traction only by building in public, you're 10 years behind. what worked exactly for "insert favorite indiehacker here" won't work for you 90% of the time

Thoughts on my SaaS that I've been working on for 18 months, without getting past $1.5k MRR.
Started as a GPT-3 email writer. 9 months ago, pivoted to a prospect monitor for b2b sales teams.
Hustled it up to 25 paying customers, $1.2k MRR by June.
Today, it's 1/2 that.

The business logic of Magic Sales Bot is about 1,300 lines of code.
It cost less that $100 to learn how to write that code.
And now it cash flows $850/m. I love the future.

Why I've been so quiet this week:
All my notes from all my customer conversations this week - I spoke to anyone I could that signed up in the last night.

Bootstrapping SaaS since. Failed on 3, launched Magic Sales Bot in January, funded by

It's far from where I want it to be. But boy am I glad to be playing this game instead of that one

my first sales job
one of the best reps only came in like once a week. pissed leadership off so much
when he randomly showed, he'd rip a fat line of white lighting, bang out 250 cold calls, talk at an obscenely loud volume, and hit quota the week 2 of the month
then disappear

This has been my phone background since I quit my job and started hacking in September.

Ain't no trouble. Still plugging along, one foot in front of the other.

, I've got motivation and organization I want to do to get Magic Sales Bot going.
From the talks I went to, I realize my blocker is fear. I'm building a plan for the rest of the year to get to $2k/mrr, and walking it back into doing the things that scare me

I should've done Services before SaaS, long ago
Services are a contact sport. It's engagement with the client's need and moving them to the end result, daily.
Iterations are fast, lessons are learned the hard way, and they expect you to deliver.

If I retained 90% of the users I've onboarded through these 18 months, I'd be past $5k MRR.
This is not your regular buildinpublic look-at-my-mrr. I've got to grow this before my bank account empties.
And I will - I like being the underdog

Running thread of cool things I've done with a little scraper/hacker fiddling.
Spend 0 minutes on a dating app, get all the results. Pull all profiles in my area. If verified & more than 5 photos, "like" the profile.
When I move every month, run the script once. No more swiping

Cool, high-earning business I ran across
SaaSHub just shows a listing page for different tech tools, bringing in 1.3m views a month
Costs $99/m to be on the featured page.
With 108 featured listings, that's over $10k MRR. Wow.

I've been thinking about this all day...
Instead of growing a Saas biz, what if I just launch an MVP every month, try to get it to $500-$1k MRR, and sell the biz for $20k - $30k?
Maybe I'll start with ...
Here is why I acquired
@supportmanHQ
1. It's profitable! If I can grow it to $1125/mo, I can make all my investments back in 2 years 💪
2. Intercom's customers are my ICP, I can merge it to , or just make it an upsell engine 🔥
3. Tax deductible😜

I've posted a lot of red MRR tweets before (the 1st year of solo SaaS building)
Here's hope that year 2 continues this way - it's gone up, bit by bit, for 4 months.
So many things have changed from how I used to work that I'm unsure how to communicate "what's working for me"

Being busy is my worst habit (and my generation's).
- gotta get busy shipping this, instead of thinking about why
- gotta read Reddit, instead of letting myself be bored and think
- gotta get to work first thing in the morning, for no real reason other than to be busy

Not so much for the money, but for the community/guidance on how to get to $50k MRR while staying lean.

Though I think it can be more useful to watch peers who are one step ahead of where you want to be.

Hitting the "pivot" button on in October was scary.
But I'm starting to get real stories of salespeople succeeding with it. And users who I don't know are signing up and paying.
And January's line went up and to the right. This feels great.
