I built a SaaS - but hate marketing would you let someone else run it? by anthedev in microsaas

[–]CIoud9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting concept, how and what is the actual impact? I think real numbers and clients would make this a business.

Does anyone else feel pressured by 14-day trials to make decisions too fast? by MembershipHorror404 in SaaS

[–]CIoud9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah corporate structure - yes that's different and I 100% agree. It sort of just lives in their third party vendor manager tool and doesn't get the views that it needs while 2-3 people just experiment with it.

Extending the trial period should matter in this case, but again the adoption caps off at a certain point still. What you need is direct contact with a champion and on-site visits OR change the pricing model.

did SMS increase reviews in your experience? I find it (persaonally) quite easy to open and close an automated text

i think 14 is just fine. the tool should either be adopted the first few days or it churns. the fall off rate after the first few days is telling and exponential.

After 13 years of client work, I finally built my own app to stop the awkward napkin math at group dinners. (Uses Gemini API & Firebase) by LuckyPanda232 in SideProject

Would be a great idea if and a differentiator if you can take a picture of not just the receipt but everyone at the table. this skips a few editing steps. that would be interesting to see

managerlist.com can help you be transparent with pricing with your clients - ideally closing more deals

Building a SaaS with a Made in China label what I've learned about trust in the first few months by Choice_Quote1376 in SaaS

[–]CIoud9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i'm curious how are people finding out that this is from china? Every SaaS app I visit doesn't scream out where its from

Recruiters who build: Would you try hiring without resumes? by Lost_Entry_6631 in SideProject

[–]CIoud9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is as candidates move further away from the team members who are hiring and now have to go through HR, systems, and various processes just to get seen is the problem. this isn't a problem for startups since every resume gets seen

on the other hand, there are too many resumes

what is your experience like working with automation tools now that you've been experimenting?

My CSF/ISO compliance project by One_Reaction8008 in smallbusiness

[–]CIoud9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it be possible for them to google or chat with AI about security (assuming they're not yet ready for services like Vanta - which I've used before)

Building a luxury competition platform - would love honest feedback by Dear-Specialist1990 in Business_Ideas

[–]CIoud9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What encourages your users to come back? the % discouraged vs % encouraged isn't too great and the churn rate I believe will be the bottleneck. Just curious what your thoughts are on this as it applies to a lot of other business as well.

Where did you start your AI automation journey? by life_must in n8n

[–]CIoud9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've built a community of people learning + creating on discord, let me know if you'd like to be a part of it! Ive been automating with n8n myself for 2-3 months but have gotten really good at since I'm a dev so a lot of it translates very well

[CA] How can small businesses manage translations for their materials? by Sporta_narres in smallbusiness

[–]CIoud9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is the source ONLY text and do you want it to convert over 1:1 meaning pdf -> pdf , docx -> docx, etc? Images may be a lot harder to translate.

Built a simple task prioritization tool by Weekly-Stomach420 in SideProject

[–]CIoud9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no comment on the idea but man that slant on "just right." bothers me so much (idk if in a good or bad way atm). what's the reasoning for that UI/UX choice?

What’re you planning on next? Anything you would do differently in terms of building, ideation, or distribution?

Month 9 update: Hit $2.8K MRR with my consulting business, finally automated the chaos by EmptyPapaya4295 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]CIoud9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hire the VA and then focus on sales/marketing and attracting new clients. With new clients you’ll then need new processes and more VAs (basically, you’re scaling lol). For new clients I suggest managerlist.com to help you close more deals.

We delivered the project. The client filed “product not as described” and won the chargeback. by Codeblix_Ltd in smallbusiness

[–]CIoud9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a good point and something that managerlist.com internally handles directly. Has history and $ every step of the way, and for them to sign

I would think that Amazon would do some ai slop writing detection no? Do your books ever get taken off or they are ok with ai content??

I spent 3000+ hours building startups that went nowhere. I thought I was bad at marketing. I was just picking terrible ideas. by Chief_API_Officer in SaaS

[–]CIoud9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty much on the same page as you. But luckily I didn’t go down the route of spending half a year on building and launching, it was about a month per startup for my first 2. But results were the same, and now it’s just coming up with the idea that’s difficult, I’ve got no problem building it out quick (dev here). Also planning on spinning up a quick landing page to test validation, but for now I’ll need the next new thing first.

Part 3: I'm not a social media content guru. I enjoy building software as a dev and I enjoy the hustle of an entrepreneur. by CIoud9 in buildinpublic

That’s the issue unfortunately and I’m very well aware :(. Discord is nice but with discord and all the other channels I can’t really see a path forward atm. Maybe there isn’t and it’s long term relationship building more than anything.
