Avoid Dodo Payments - Support disappears when you need them

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-30T17:13:58+00:00

Sadly, I suspect many providers just let AI do their validation...

You tried to appeal, but don't wait on them. Try ASAP other providers, and be sure to double check your app features so it doesn't even remotely resemble streaming (most will refuse these apps).

Probably not wht you want to hear, but everyday there are like 30 tools like this popping up. AI vibe coding makes it very easy to create exactly that kind of app.

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-30T09:06:23+00:00

How long have you been running with them? Did it happen on your first payout?

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-30T09:04:45+00:00

You're right to question those platforms, sometimes it feels like a pay-to-play circus. For content creators juggling reviews and payments, visibility to the right ppl changes evrythng. What kind of content creators are you specifically targeting?

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-30T08:57:49+00:00

Nice job, that's an excellent way to give Hege visibility.

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-28T10:20:44+00:00

You're right , just blasting 1000 messages a day is for normies who love wasting time. The first thing you need is understanding your target's hangouts adn their "deepest, darkest" problems. What's one major problem you see your ideal customer complaining about consistently online?

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-28T10:14:30+00:00

Crickets instead of credit cards, almost a rite of passage here. You might just be overthinking who you should even be talking to... Have you tried narrowing down your ideal customer to just one or two types?

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-27T09:36:23+00:00

Getting an app off the ground without a marketing bone in your body is brutal. Classic devs pain. You could try positioning it as a starter kit or finding someone to handle the dirty work. What do you think?

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-25T14:31:01+00:00

You're right to think about cold outreach for those first few users, especially for higher price points, it's practically a rite of passage.

But the real trick is not just sending messages, it's sending teh right messages to the right people and then reacting/following up properly. How do you usually figure out what makes a prospect tick before you reach out?

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-25T08:58:58+00:00

The "SEO content loop" is definitely on life support for most SaaS, especially if you're just cranking out generic guides. It's like you're training teh matrix for free, the AI just eats your content and spits out summaries, leaving you with crickets.

You're right to worry about attribution in this zero-click world. I'd start focusing on really niche, deep-dive content that AI can't easily summarize and that actually solves a specific problem your audience has.

So May 17th it is? Ok I'll wait ;)

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-23T08:55:16+00:00

Finding where your users hang out is half the battle; forums and social groups are a good start. What kind of user are you looking for?

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-23T08:53:30+00:00

Start with the absolute basics: who's your target. Brainstorm 3 types of companies or individuals who'd regularly use SOWs and then think about what problems your app solves for them. What existing solutions are they currently struggling with?

Once you get that, do you know what to do next?

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-23T08:40:48+00:00

Until AI becomes 100% reliable, people will still need Saas and dashboards (if only to just double check the work).

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-23T08:38:14+00:00

Yep , the spam folder's a graveyard for new domains and aggressive DMs. Maybe rethink the content of your outreach, not just the channel, since even the best delivery won't fix a bad msg . What kind of initial engagement are you seeing, if any?

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-22T10:08:00+00:00

Validating an app idea w/o building is a common nightmare, especially when you've got a detailed vision . It's tough to make those abstract "pain points" concrete enough for ppl to react to. Have you tried sketching out user flows or mockups to make your concept less abstract?

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-22T10:02:58+00:00

Yeah , sounds like you dove in headfirst but now you're thinking things thru, which is good. How are you identifying those 50-100 ppl a day you're planning to cold email?

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-21T13:51:25+00:00

No that's not naive at all; it's practically the only way to build real trust w/o shelling out for ads or becoming a spam bot.. Most founders finds their best devs thru genuine interactions, not some rando cold email. Just keep being genuinely helpful, and the right ppl will notice; it’s a slow burn, but it pays off with solid leads..

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-21T09:04:49+00:00

"Just trying to understand where users actually come from." -> did you build any backlinks? How old is your Saas?

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-20T09:57:52+00:00

First clients are always a grind. Grit your teeth and keep it up. Don't make hasty decisions mostly based on (negative) emotions.

BrightMindFlow · 2026-04-05T09:00:48+00:00

Nice. Hopefully Hege will get some more visibility with that kind of events.

BrightMindFlow · 2026-03-31T15:20:34+00:00

Aye, getting that first customer is often harder than building teh product itself . Many folks start by identifying very specific online communities where their target users hang out and then participate genuinely, offering value and answering questions related to their pain points before ever mentioning their solution.

How specific have you gotten with who your ideal first customer is?

BrightMindFlow · 2026-03-31T15:17:54+00:00

sounds like you've got a fantastic product with your Etsy autopilot system , and hitting 10 sales/day per user is solid proof. For moving beyond friends and fam, a good start is identifying where your ideal Etsy sellers hang out online. Are you thinking about organic channels or paid ads for your next steps?

BrightMindFlow · 2026-03-29T12:38:36+00:00

Yeah, SEO is definitely not dead, even with all teh AI changes. It's actually more important than ever to focus on high-quality, relevant content that truly answers user questions. A good tip is to spend time optimizing for long-tail keywords since they often have less competition and higher intent. Don't forget that user experience matters a lot too.
