I gathered 54 growth ideas of how to find the first 100 paid clients for your startup.

These are from my indie maker career: 7 years of actually making a SaaS from $0 to $16,000 MMR and observing others.

MEGA JUMBO THREAD! LFG! 🧵🧵🐘🐘

I've figured out why I'm often scared to launch!! 🤩

Not launching is comfortable. I live in a future world where my product succeeds, users love it, $$$ flows. It's perfect because it's not real.

I like being there.

I don't understand what is the point of consulting calls 🤷

- Most playbooks are public and cheaper.
- Buying certainty is fooling oneself.
- Renting brain is an illusion: no skin in the game - no care.
- You buy opinions, not evidence.
- Calls create a false sense of progress.

Made my first domain sale! 🤩

Unlike a SaaS, this project started with a negative balance. I only invested by bidding on auctions for months.

It was mentally hard to feed it and not seeing even a $1 in profits.

saas.page is still net-negative. But validated.

AI will replace me in 5 years. And you too.
I have 2 serious questions:

1. Why do everybody pretend everything is fine? 😅
2. What is your plan for the post-AI era?

Here is my plan as a maker:

Building a b2c product is the worst decision a founder can make 🫠🔫

Why b2c sucks:

1. Individuals pay little money (most paid iOS apps cost <$2).
2. There are tons of competitors. AI makes it even worse.

1 year ago I created a subr𝔢ddit for SaaS founders. My goal was to provide makers with stressless access to R𝔢ddit.

So far:
1) Got 2.8k members (+10/day).
2) Average post gets 700 views and 3 comments.
3) 2.5 posts/day are published.

If I were selling my guide in 🇪🇺, my offer would be illegal 😁

Possible fines I could get if I lived in:

Germany: up to €50k
France: up to €300k
Netherlands: up to €900k

But I'm not in the EU. So I can do crazy things 😎

I realized I'm a quick dopamine junkie 😥🫤😖

I thought I'm cool and smart. But I'm not.

I work 3-5 hours per day. Gym 2 hours per day. Sleep 8 hours per day.
The rest 10 hours are procrastinated via watching youtube/netflix, eating food, scrolling news.

10 damn hours.

Just released this great update. Music makes a video much better 😎
Add music to your SaaS promo video!

The sound library is at your service (not only boring corporate tracks, but also modern: rock, drum and bass and techno 😎).

I hate to say that,
but UI/UX are to become a history within 10 years.

AI chat is the new user interface. Everything a good UI can do, AI chat can do better and faster.

Chat is the most natural interface. Gen Z use chats all their life.

If your app does not have a chatbox, you'll be outcompeted.
Your app has a magic AI chat built in?
Sell it!

☞ Introducing a new template: AI-chat ☜

Make a video presentation of the AI chat flow your software offers. Use the video to explain the power of your app and get more clients.

- Sugar made people sluggish
- Tiktok made people easily distracted
- Video games made people addicted to fake progress
- Influencers made people watchers, not doers
- AI makes people lazy

Simply avoiding these obvious traps automatically puts you in the top 1% of makers 🤷

My message to all first time makers:

🙅‍♂️ AVOID VC 🙅‍♂️

What is NOT the goal of a VC:
1. make you rich
2. pay your bills
3. keep you away from burning out
4. give you good compensation
5. make a great product
6. make users happy
7. “change the world”

The goals of a VC:

Serious question to all who wants fast growth:
WHY DON'T YOU JUST BUILD A GREAT PRODUCT?

A great product promotes itself. Take a look at Screen Studio, Typefully, Scraping Bee. They are spreading like a virus.

Anyone else here having problems with combining coding+marketing?

if I code, i turn into a soulless machine with ▭.▭-shaped eyes. I can't pull out a single tweet from my organized brain. i become grumpy and irritated when someone disturbs me from the creation process.

Made a graph of all my projects & growth strategies.

Takeaways:

1) I'm terrified how huge it is. Must. Stop. Making. New. Projects.
2) I'll regret not starting the SEO/pSEO game for @paracast.io earlier, but I'm too busy with the product rn.
3) Seeing a big picture helps 👍

prepping a great update for @paracast.io
basically, i'm turning it into a motion design tool.

Unicorn Platform fixed Webflow.
Paracast will fix Adobe After Effects.

2018: The SaaS is the foundation. Marketing supported it.
2025: Marketing channels are the foundation. The product is a monetization tool.

Sounds novel?

Well, sorry, but it's as old as the hills! 👇😄

Announcing my new (most controversial 🫣) project: saas.page

It is a store of premium domain names for SaaS.

I mentioned that I've started investing in domains 9 months ago. And almost got cancelled for that!
