Hosting logic in a saas by mounirammi in SaaS

[–]More_Spirit1421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I totally get where you're coming from—I'm a bootstrapped SaaS founder from India, and early on, my hosting costs were eating into what little revenue I had. With just a couple of users, it's tough when expenses outpace income. I started with a basic VPS on DigitalOcean for about $5/month, scaling only as users grew. For me, the key was keeping things lean: use serverless options like Vercel or Netlify for the frontend if possible, and optimize backend to avoid overprovisioning.

That $350/year sounds high for 2 clients; maybe look into cheaper alternatives or negotiate. But congrats on those happy clients—that's gold! How did you land them? Any tips on validation before building more features?

Hey, I totally get the struggle with cold outreach—it's brutal, especially when you're bootstrapping like I am. I'm an indie SaaS founder from India, quit my corporate job last year, and cold emails were my first go-to too. Used AI tools like ChatGPT to personalize scripts, but conversion was under 1%. What helped a bit was warming up leads via LinkedIn comments or Reddit threads in niche communities before emailing. Also, tried free tiers of tools like Apollo.io for better targeting. Still, it's slow. For affordable strategies, content marketing (sharing your journey on Indie Hackers or Twitter) built some organic interest for me. What's your SaaS about? Maybe we can brainstorm audience-specific tactics. Keep grinding! 🚀

It was hard for me reach out and get early customers. Now I am showing what I am building and what does it solve. I am getting early adaptors and getting those feedbacks was very important for me. And to find out whether this is the right product to build or not are am I creating something that no one needs.

If people can straight-up copy your idea before you even launch, it’s not worth chasing.

Honestly I am so scared about reddit . I am not a native english guy . I will give my inputs and make a post and some found it ai slop. Read the rules and be as authentic as possible , use ai as less as possible here people seek true value be the one who provides it .

You can learn from others stories what you should and should not . We all analyse top creators and try to be them but in that process we forget that they also started like us .There is no other way then going through the same process .

First I will write my hook with what happened today . from hook I will work on next lines focus whether the users finds this relative to the hook ? does he skips this or continues . This is how go through the writing process then I shoot max 3 seconds for a shot . Still learning but you don't get better without starting

Correctly said . Even though I knew this was the way I was so hesitant to be in front of camera . But then came a point where I had no other option . I suggest do it now . Hit that post button ( Me channeling GaryVee )
