not a guru post, just sharing what worked and what didnt
started as a side project, no funding, just me building stuff after work
first version was honestly trash lol
biggest mistakes early on:
- building too many features no one asked for
- ignoring feedback
- bad pricing (way too low)
what changed everything:
- focusing on one core problem
- actually talking to users
- improving onboarding
now sitting at low 5 figures/month
still far from perfect but stable
anyone else building saas here?
HOW I GREW MY SAAS TO 5 FIGURES (MISTAKES + WHAT ACTUALLY WORKED)
