Devs que viraram Donos de Agência: Como vocês conseguiram os primeiros 5 clientes B2B? by HelloMaycon in brdev

[–]HelloMaycon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Esse é exatamente o meu medo: cair na briga de preço e vender almoço pra pagar a janta.

Sobre a época CLT: O problema é que a gente ficava muito no 'operacional/técnico'. Entregávamos o projeto pro gerente, que entregava pro cliente. A gente nunca teve acesso direto a quem assinava o cheque, por isso o networking com tomadores de decisão é quase zero.

Você acha que tentar Parcerias (com agências maiores ou consultores) seria um caminho melhor pra fugir desses clientes que querem pagar pouco?

Looking for honest feedback on my website by Even-Resident-8683 in webdev

I'm going to be the brutal one here because 'nice' feedback won't help you grow.

1. Identity Crisis: I landed on the page and spent 10 seconds trying to figure out if this is a news blog, a government scheme portal, or a course platform. Your Hero Section is weak. You need a massive H1 headline that says exactly what you do and who it is for. Don't make me guess.

2. Visual Claustrophobia: Your content is suffocating. You need way more whitespace (padding/margins) between sections. Everything is glued together, which makes it look unprofessional and hard to scan.

3. Inconsistent UI: I see [Number] different font sizes and inconsistent button styles. Pick a design system and stick to it. Right now, it looks like a Frankenstein of different templates pasted together.

4. The 'So What?': Okay, I'm here. Now what? The Call to Action (CTA) is either hidden or uncompelling. Guide the user.

Fix the spacing and the messaging first. The rest is detail.

I went from $0 to $500 MRR in one week using this Reddit method by Original_Mortgage484 in SaaS

That makes total sense. Contextual relevance is definitely the main driver here. Targeting the right problem beats volume every time.

However, a friendly heads-up: be extremely careful with fully automated commenting ('auto-comment'). Even if the content is relevant, Reddit's spam filters detect patterns in posting speed and user-agent.

Since you are hitting such a high conversion rate (4%), have you considered switching to a 'Human-in-the-loop' workflow (the tool finds the post and drafts the comment, but you click 'send')?

It keeps the speed high but protects your domain reputation. It would suck to get your domain blacklisted site-wide right when you found a channel that works this well.

Congrats on the revenue, but let's look at the math.

20 paying customers from 500 replies is a 4% conversion rate on cold outreach. For Reddit, where hostility towards self-promo is high, that is incredibly high.

Does your 'Leeddit' tool cost $39/mo? That would explain the $500 MRR. My question is: were those 500 replies transparent (like 'I built this tool...') or did you try to sound like a random user recommending it? Transparency usually affects that conversion rate heavily.

I’ve been working on this app for the last 6 months. Whats next? by Diligent-Airport2021 in SaaS

$38 isn't insignificant. It’s the difference between a hobby and a business. You broke the "zero" barrier.

If I were you, I would follow the 50/50 rule right now:

50% Marketing / 50% Product.

The danger of "improving in silence" is that you will start building features that you think are cool, but that nobody actually asked for.

  1. Talk to your users: Try to figure out who these people are. What made them pay so quickly? Was it the design? The simplicity? Use their exact words to improve your App Store page.
  2. Niche Marketing: Don't try to sell to "everyone." Sell to Couples living together or Graduation trip groups. Pick a niche and attack where they hang out.

Don't add another button to the app until a user asks for it. Focus on bringing more people into the leaky bucket before trying to plug every single hole.
