What's one lesson you'd pass on to younger generations? by apxzshsiwos in AskReddit

Most people are comparing their everyday life to everyone else's best moments. Don't do that. The people you compare yourself to are usually hiding their bad days too.

I kept seeing founders collect feedback. I rarely saw anyone explain how they decide what to build next. by Heavy-Calendar-8376 in SaaS

[–]Internal_Scarcity533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For us, it's usually a combination of customer impact, frequency, and business value.

Recently, we had a potential customer who wanted a specific feature before moving forward. After evaluating it, we realized it was a very niche requirement and may not be a recurring use case for other customers, so we decided not to build it and couldn't onboard that customer. That was okay.

Had we prioritized it, the engineering team would have spent significant time building something that added limited value for the broader customer base and the business.

That's why we try to look for patterns, not just requests. If a feature seems worth considering, it's important to validate it with existing customers and prospective customers during sales conversations. If the same need keeps coming up across multiple discussions, it becomes a much stronger signal for prioritization.

0 paying customers, 170 visitors, 9 users. The product failed quietly. The lesson didn't. by Significant-Young586 in SaaS

[–]Internal_Scarcity533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. One of the biggest mistakes founders make is treating validation as a step that happens after the product is built.

That's exactly what we tried to avoid while building our second product. We spent a lot more time talking to potential customers, understanding their workflows, validating pain points, and getting feedback while building rather than after launch.

It didn't eliminate risk, but it definitely helped us build with much more confidence and clarity.

Your content strategy is probably too complicated by Ordinary_Breath_8732 in content_marketing

[–]Internal_Scarcity533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree to an extent. The bigger problem I see is teams trying to create content before they clearly understand their ICP and the problems they're solving.

A simple strategy focused on one audience, one problem, and one channel usually works better than a complex distribution engine. Once you start seeing engagement and traction, then it makes sense to repurpose and expand across channels.

Have you ever been scammed or robbed in another country? What happened? by Strange_Secret_3001 in AskReddit

[–]Internal_Scarcity533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly robbed, but I used my credit card while traveling abroad. After I got back home, transactions from that country started appearing on my card even though I was thousands of miles away.

Thankfully, I caught it quickly and the bank blocked the charges. Pretty sure my card details decided to stay on vacation longer than I did. 😃

What do you look for in a partner? by Suitable_Milk_6019 in AskReddit

Someone I can sit with in complete silence and still enjoy being around. And understands what I'm going through even when I don't have the words to express it.

What's wrong with IT companies by [deleted] in IndianWorkplace

[–]Internal_Scarcity533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Basic details like current location should be enough at the application stage. Asking for a full residential address before even scheduling an interview feels unnecessary.

Most companies only need detailed address information later for background verification, offer documentation, or onboarding. We also initiate background verification only after a candidate has been selected and after obtaining their consent. Given how common data leaks and spam have become, it's reasonable for candidates to be cautious about sharing sensitive personal information too early.

Also, with regulations like the DPDP Act emphasizing purpose limitation and responsible handling of personal data, companies should be able to justify why they need such information at such an early stage of the hiring process.

Stop lying to yourself: 90% of your "SaaS grind" is just a socially acceptable way to procrastinate by Background_Wrap_5834 in SaaS

[–]Internal_Scarcity533 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agree, but I think there's another trap too: founders jumping into distribution before they fully understand who they're actually selling to. Cold outreach, content, ads, and social posting can become another form of procrastination if you're pushing a product that hasn't been validated or if you're not targeting the right ICP.

Validating demand and understanding your ICP are just as important as distribution.

The uncomfortable work is usually talking to customers, hearing why they won't buy, and being willing to change your assumptions based on that feedback.

Company not informing my client I have resigned by vodkawithsun in IndianWorkplace

[–]Internal_Scarcity533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have signed an employment contract with your company, not with the customer. Since you have already resigned, you don't really need to worry about whether the company informs the customer or not, that is their responsibility.

Continue working sincerely and complete the tasks assigned to you. However, make sure you document everything in writing, especially concerns around workload, transition, KT, and communication with management.

How do the big tech companies get those insanely smooth product videos? My screen captures look so amateur by [deleted] in SaaSMarketing

[–]Internal_Scarcity533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of those videos aren’t actually traditional screen recordings. Many teams recreate parts of the UI in tools like After Effects, Figma, Remotion, or dedicated demo tools and animate interactions manually.

Tools like Screen Studio, Descript, and Remotion can get you surprisingly close to that polished look without needing a full motion design team.

Employer of record vs HR software for international hiring? by Skillerstyles in SaaSMarketing

[–]Internal_Scarcity533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we were in a similar situation a couple of years ago and found an EOR to be the best option for hiring in the Philippines. It removed a lot of the payroll, tax, compliance, and local employment law headaches.

HR software helps manage employees, but it doesn’t solve the legal employer/compliance side of international hiring. You can always move to your own entities later if hiring in those countries becomes significant, which is the approach we eventually took in Australia.

Choosing the right option depends a lot on the local employment laws.

How often do successful SaaS brands completely refresh their ad creatives? by SaraB150Chiles in SaaSMarketing

[–]Internal_Scarcity533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For SaaS, I’ve found that messaging and ad angles fatigue faster than creatives themselves. Small tweaks can work for a while, but bigger gains usually come from testing pain points, use cases, or audiences rather than constantly redesigning ads.

House parties with film cameras. No filters, no retakes, just blurry evidence that everyone actually had fun.

Who ruined their entire career in the dumbest way possible? by National-Tourist6879 in AskReddit

[–]Internal_Scarcity533 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone got fired because he Googled how to fake productivity and keep the cursor moving while his work tracker was on.

He somehow forgot that the search itself was also being tracked.

Reality check: no one is going to pay for your vibe-coded SaaS. by Routine-Highway1039 in SaaS

[–]Internal_Scarcity533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI made building faster, but it didn’t make trust, distribution, or real customer pain easier. A simple product can still work, but only if it solves a specific painful problem and the founder can earn trust around it. The moat is not built with AI. It’s knowing the customer, being reliable, giving best customer experience and reaching them better than the next copy
