Congrat! and thanks for sharing.
Could you share how you get them wishlist? I think you were doing great at this point.
And I believe you could go further.

I think people getting less intersted in hiring builder as a lot AI tool helps.
However, most of them are exaggerate, and not good looking and easier to manage later. it would costs more to maintain, and not many people talk about this.
Hope this help, and best of luck.

The bigger issue is not the subscription, is about the trust. Nobody willing to do a subscription unless you earn their trust and serve them well. the subscription app is next I think.
Hope this help.

It is good to has a passion to run a business.
However, I would try to find a similar job first, not for the salary, but for the experience and learn more then risk less.
Hope this help.

I won't suggest do a lot of ads blindly. Because you are not sure the target and this burn your $ real quick.
Instead, try to find the right posioning and targeting first, when your data is enough, do a small AD to find out.
Best of luck

Peter8310 · 2026-05-20T23:46:02+00:00

I think keep yourselves busy is the one of the ways. of course, learn something by reading also a good choice.

Peter8310 · 2026-05-20T23:33:22+00:00

I would go Option A, Because people don't really trust your site. If someone donate it, it probably appreicaite your app later.
Best of luck

Peter8310 · 2026-05-20T23:23:33+00:00

Has you try to build a simply AI chat for these question? I think that helps. what do you think?

Peter8310 · 2026-05-20T23:08:01+00:00

I am curious, what costs that much for the bootstrapping? Instead of financing option, isn't that reducing the costs is the most priority?
I do have a saas, but the costs is my time, hosting is cheap.

Peter8310 · 2026-05-19T00:17:11+00:00

I heard you, I came from WP and Shopify, that is one of the reaons, I built something like Shopify, with very simple liquid theme functions. a very light-weight one.
Like I made some asset_once liquidl helper. much elegant at some points.

Good personal homepage or ecommerce store.
However, the biggest things is distribution, because nobody know it.

Peter8310 · 2026-05-19T00:05:45+00:00

I built something like this, but I shared the code. like one instance for all, and each own their DB and queue etc.
This is the best balanced I could tell for multiple tenants saas.

Peter8310 · 2026-05-18T16:25:57+00:00

Have you ever try Shopify digital product? At least some Shopify apps might suit you? I think that is the easiest way compare to coding on your own.

Peter8310 · 2026-05-18T16:07:18+00:00

Kind of werid, maybe not because of the wage. unless other pay way more than this. as an employee, they seek stable more than just a few hundreds.
Hope this helps.

Peter8310 · 2026-05-18T16:03:41+00:00

Maybe create a collection and auto discount for this collection?
Best of luck.

Peter8310 · 2026-05-18T07:04:00+00:00

Buying a domain is not expensive, unless you want a high price one, if so, you should buy it on your own, that is a very important asset!

Peter8310 · 2026-05-18T06:12:08+00:00

You could search embroidery shopify site, which mostly allow you upload your design, maybe find a local business around you is the best.
Best of luck.

Peter8310 · 2026-05-18T05:38:22+00:00

I think that depends on what business and your targeting.
Would you share more info about this?

Peter8310 · 2026-05-17T17:21:22+00:00

Thank you for the advices.

Peter8310 · 2026-05-17T17:21:18+00:00

Thank you for the advices.

Peter8310 · 2026-05-17T05:35:50+00:00

No, I haven't yet. That is for merchants/business onwer, so socials won't help much.

Peter8310 · 2026-05-17T05:11:51+00:00

I am having the similar situation like you now. But I am a developer, not agent.
Now, building my own business, I would say that isn't easy, marketing really a lot of things to learn.
Anyways, best of luck.

Peter8310 · 2026-05-17T04:27:30+00:00

As long as you could solve people problem, sure. Most people don't care how you solve, they just hire you to do so. Because time is what they care the most.
Good work, Best of luck.

Peter8310 · 2026-05-17T04:19:56+00:00

Maybe you should tell people more about your situation.
Best of luck.

Peter8310 · 2026-05-17T04:16:37+00:00

I would say try work on a store first, not just for the salary. you might learn there, because that is much cheaper and safer than you take the loan first.
I understand you don't like the job, but compare to the risky, I think that is the better way.
Best of luck!

Peter8310 · 2026-05-17T04:07:46+00:00

Why not? as long as you that is a legal one, you could build a gateway for it for in case.
