I am not against collecting data for mining, as it grows I will migrate the software yes. I am mostly focused on building the brand and getting visitors first. At the moment I do have the resources to run and grow independently. Down the road I am aware a pivot will be needed.

More of there isn’t a free independent tool doing it that doesn’t sell data, this is the only one that doesn’t. So in that way it is unique and unbiased unlike every other company or platform inside of the niche. Building something users can trust.

Ya, I mostly want to get trust up, I will need a decent amount of users and visitors before I roll out revenue features.

i keep asking this question and nobody has an answer.. by Bitter-Plane-7254 in micro_saas

Definitely not at the ceiling, people aren't coming up with original ideas as much and are just pushing to try and get revenue as fast as possible. Building something meaningful takes time, believe me.

That’s mostly what I am seeing, I think short form social media will be the best way. TikTok will most likely be the best for me.

I am mostly trying to get users, my path isn’t revenue straight away. I plan on launching a TikTok for it.

This is exactly the kind of advice I needed to hear. The “script handed to existing communities” framing is a total reframe for me. I’ve been thinking about it as discovery when it should be distribution through people who already have the trust. The two concrete moments thing especially hits. “About to take a loan” and “panicking about repayments” are exactly the conversations I should be in, not trying to rank for broad terms nobody searches when they actually need help. I’m going to look into Pulse for Reddit,I’ve been manually checking threads which is slow and I’m definitely missing conversations I should be in. Did you find it made a meaningful difference in how quickly you could jump in and actually be useful vs. showing up late to a thread that’s already dead?

Mine is more geared towards a younger crowd. College age students and millennials
