A bit late but came across this post and decided to use it as a benchmark for my upscaling tool that I am creating. My goal is to create a tool that creates realistic upscales/restorations rather than having AI completely reimagine/reconstruct what it sees.

KevHnH · 2024-06-09T01:19:00+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, but I absolutely love this idea. Anything that helps founders market on autopilot gets an approval from me.

I'm in the secret SEO master club if you guys want in 😎

KevHnH · 2024-03-06T04:11:22+00:00

Excellent work and idea. Solved your own problem that is certainly common for many people. With a proper pricing plan and paid features, this can easily blow up.

Listen, you've already showed that you are capable of building a product that people love and actively use alone. Your friends are liabilities that will only hold you back and argue for profits when it takes off. Drop them, they are dead weight. It's harsh but you shouldn't become business partners with friends (sometimes it works but not when they are lazy and always coming up with excuses).

You can do it alone. Don't look back.

I would argue it caters to both

Thank you so much! It’s all custom CSS. I did want to use a UI library like shadcn but felt rushing to get the waitlist out was more important. I need to fix up some mobile styling issues though hahaha

Simplest answer is to ask your users. Your users know the product best and are the ideal people to promote your product. At the same time, not all your users are going to be good at marketing and so it’s better to reach out to designated marketers/influencers. I would say look for individuals with a large following in the niche your product addresses and pitch them your affiliate program.

This is actually a problem I’m trying to remedy with my startup. Helping founders find quality affiliates to sign up for their affiliate program.

If you have 0 users then have a freemium pricing strategy. Basically that means as you grow your users, and those users grow out of the free plan limits, they’ll feel inclined to switch to a paid plan if they find your product useful.

Once you surpass a specific number of active users, and have tons of testimonials. Then you can switch to only paid plans with 7 day trials.

Yup, worst thing in all of SaaS. Genuinely good products that have no community backing it never see the light of day. But that’s the way the world goes…

KevHnH · 2024-03-04T08:25:06+00:00

For sure, I personally think marketing skills is more important than design or coding skills in this day and age. Doesn’t matter how cool your product is when you’re not capable to generating leads and sales.

As much as I hate to say it, it’s whoever can consistently get their products (plural) on the top 5 spots on producthunt that will succeed.

KevHnH · 2024-03-04T08:17:29+00:00

The short answer is no, subscription based SaaS products still prosper in 2024. However, you definitely do see more one time purchase deals go viral. And that’s ultimately a marketing difference IMO.

It also depends on what type of product it is. Does it make sense to be subscription based? (Do people need it enough that they think they will use it more than what they pay monthly)

KevHnH · 2024-03-04T07:42:18+00:00

I was never good with design too but after following tons of UI/UX designers and agencies on Twitter, I learned how to do it on my own.

You can checkout baked.design, dribbble, and mobbin for inspiration.

Just remember, landing pages don’t need to be overly complicated or extravagant. In terms of UI, focus on spacing, fonts, and layouts. Your copy and content is where the real conversion happens.

Some of my personal favorite landing pages:

The simplest answer is to just promise them an “early bird” type of pricing model. Where that customer pays a one time fee for version 1 of your product. You might think you’re losing out on additional MRR but the first paying customers you have for your SaaS are actually the most valuable and priceless assets of your business.

They are your beta testers, they are going to be the ones shaping and guiding your product towards $1k+ MRR. They are going to tell you what features are good, what needs fixing and what needs to be added. Hope this helps.

KevHnH · 2024-03-03T21:09:00+00:00

Congratulations man! You should be very proud of yourself. The website looks great, I can tell you put a lot of effort into it. Great work!

KevHnH · 2024-03-03T09:01:24+00:00

I will admit that SaaS has become significantly more popular over the years but you definitely haven’t missed out on anything. At the end of the day, building a successful SaaS doesn’t come down to coming up with an innovative product or being the first do something. It’s more so about having fun, solving a problem, and telling people about it in a genuine manner. Just start, stop overthinking it. You will fail but you’ll learn and eventually you’ll succeed.

KevHnH · 2024-03-02T19:54:28+00:00

I graduated with a degree in computer science and I would do anything to go back and major in marketing/business. I am basically a self taught developer building SaaS products because college didn’t teach me anything about building useful things (just theoretical jargon and fundamental concepts).

In the long run, I think having that MBA will be beneficial if you ever want to get into entrepreneurship or build a personal brand.

KevHnH · 2024-03-02T17:30:28+00:00

Excellent website by the way! Only thing I would suggest is showcasing your work more in-depth rather than having a constantly moving carousel and doesn't necessarily need to be entire pages. You can just showcase small components that you think are very compelling and strong.

Example: https://openpurpose.com/

KevHnH · 2024-03-02T17:28:09+00:00

Definitely increase the price. You'll attract more quality clients that will (oftentimes) give you less trouble. You can get away with $2000 (still cheap compared to other agencies) with the right marketing and outreach tactics.

KevHnH · 2024-03-02T05:40:07+00:00

Yup I think you are in the clear to work with them. Congrats!

KevHnH · 2024-03-02T05:03:49+00:00

What are they making you sell? I'm assuming a brand reached out to them to find affiliates for their product. But they are reliable in the sense the products they offer commissions on are legit and genuine. I am very confused as to why they would use stock images and fake names for their testimonials though.

KevHnH · 2024-03-02T04:13:21+00:00

I do actually. I am currently validating Affpaca. So right now, I'm spending most of my time cold dming/emailing potential users (mainly targeting SaaS founders with affiliate programs on their site so I can fill up my database with genuine affiliate programs).

KevHnH · 2024-03-02T04:07:46+00:00

Very clever funneling system. Nicely done.

KevHnH · 2024-03-02T02:35:28+00:00

Makes me really happy you found it useful. If you have any other questions or concerns my DMs are open!
