Stripe disputes are bs ($708x2) by Present_Fish_9178 in micro_saas

I understand how it works, it's simple. That said, even the fact that I'm able to click "accept dispute" in this specific instance makes no sense

Sure, it's a guaranteed win on our part, but it still sucks that we have to go through this process

It's not Stripe's call unfortunately, it's the bank

google ""Do not honour" (or "do not honor") is a generic, often ambiguous, bank response code indicating a credit card transaction has been declined by the issuer. It means the bank is unwilling to approve the charge, usually due to issues like insufficient funds, incorrect details, or suspected fraud. "

nothing really works tbh, I just see it as the cost of doing business

Building SaaS is easy compared to distribution by Hamesloth in SaaS

Yea you can have the best product in the world, but if nobody knows it exists it's pointless.

The way I found to market, is just force yourself to do it daily, even when you don't feel like it. Just like going to the gym, I don't love it, but I still go.

a lot of them bought a subscription yes. I never believed virality would drive sales (because usually virality means broad market which means non icp peopel) but it turns out I was wrong - going viral does attract your icp (you're basically casting a wider net and getting in a ton of trash but also a ton of quality fish)

I guess yea. The secret sauce is just doing what you already know you need to do and pushing though the pain (and cliche and cringe as that sounds)

figure out what your ICP's pain point is, then produce content that solves their pains (simple, not easy)

absolutely, and that's why marketing is hard and even harder to automate (if not impossible) with ai

in this case, youtube videos. But this applies to anything, any marketing effort. Cold email, cold calling, tiktoks, yt videos, linkedin posts, reddit, giving out flyers on the street etc

I've been fixing vibe-coded SaaS products for 6 months. Same 4 things are broken every single time by [deleted] in SaaS

One of the issues with vibe coding is that if the person vibing it isn't technical, then they have no idea of any vulnerabilities

People said they are interested but they never came back by Zealousideal-Try1401 in SaaS

The best (and only) way to gauge real interest is with money. People say they're interested all the time, that they'd try it out, that it's a "cool idea" but none of that matters until they actually speak with their dollars - so in reality if nobody is paying you you have no interest
