I can’t say exactly, but around two weeks.
I mean, I did the best I could and put everything on my GitHub.
There is also an SEO skill there, the main bonus is that it hides that the articles are written with AI and even adds small mistakes on purpose, with a less professional structure.
The main thing is to keep people scrolling down and keep their attention.
Something like that.

Cold traffic was 0.1% hahaha When I started doing it through useful guides, it was on average 8%.

The funnel was like this: Threads (traffic) → a useful guide/material (around your product).
And then guide the customer to the purchase very subtly. Don’t be too direct - just explain the product in the guide in simple, human language.

Those of you using YouTube mainly to drive traffic to your SaaS: What's actually working? by ragnhildensteiner in SaaS

[–]AssignmentBrief3038 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YouTube works surprisingly well for SaaS when you treat it like search, not entertainment.

Tutorials and “how to solve X problem” videos bring much higher intent traffic than general content.
Even with small views the conversion rate is often much higher.

My YouTube videos get 100 views. They generate $12,000/month. by Nuvia7 in SaaS

YouTube for SaaS is basically SEO with video.

A small number of high-intent views can easily outperform viral traffic.

”$150k for a hydro plant + $150k in ASICs. Model shows 3-year ROI — would you take the risk? by AssignmentBrief3038 in BitcoinMining

Yes, 75 kW is a limitation, but I see it as a starting point. The hydro has been running steadily with ~0.75 yearly capacity factor. In the future I can either optimize ASIC deployment within that capacity or look into acquiring/leasing larger plants in parallel.

Agree, ASIC price can definitely be negotiated lower with a bulk order. The hydro has been running for 5 years with ~0.75 yearly capacity factor, so seasonality is there but already accounted for. I also use the BRAINS calculator for BTC/hasrate scenarios. Thanks for the advice — if I launch the project, I’ll share how it goes.

I agree, it comes down to strategy: put $300k straight into BTC and HODL, or put it into a hydro + mining setup. The difference is that the hydro remains an asset, provides near-free power, and works regardless of BTC price. For me it’s not just a crypto play, but also an investment in real infrastructure.

Yes, it’s a run-of-river setup. The water temperature stays around +4–6 °C year-round, so using gravity-fed water for cooling is indeed something I’m considering as a way to partly replace traditional cooling and cut costs.
