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.

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? 😅

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.

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 😎).
