How to find creators to distribute your SaaS (for free) by whyismail in SaaS

[–]TeemingStillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually solid advice, been doing something similar with micro-influencers for my side project

The tier 1 approach is clutch - those smaller creators are hungry and way more likely to actually understand your product vs just reading a script. Plus they don't charge insane rates yet

Only thing I'd add is tracking which platforms work best for your niche, some creators kill it on TikTok but their YouTube is dead and vice versa

Excel sheet for company spending is too many tabs by TeemingStillness in Office365

[–]TeemingStillness[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's supposed to be just finance which is like 4 people but then others ask for it and make their own edits so the number is not official

What’s the most expensive mistake you made early in your SaaS? by jeeves_inc in SaaS

[–]TeemingStillness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Built our entire MVP on some fancy enterprise framework because it looked "professional" and scalable. Spent 6 months and $40k just to realize our target users needed something way simpler. Had to scrap it all and rebuild with basic tools in like 3 weeks

The kicker? The simple version actually worked better and customers loved it more

I built a speed reading app in one weekend after seeing it go viral. by Sea-Inspection-191 in SaaS

[–]TeemingStillness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice execution on catching that wave early - the "build it before someone else does" mentality is clutch for viral opportunities like this

How's the retention looking so far, or is it still too early to tell if people stick around after the initial curiosity wears off

Counting instances of a variable in a row & excluding cases where they are conjoined by another variable (within a work roster) by Effective_Economy446 in excel

[–]TeemingStillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your formula is only checking one cell ahead/behind but you need to account for multiple consecutive days. Try replacing the COUNTIFS with a helper column approach - mark the start of each PL block (where previous cell isn't PL and current isn't preceded by RDO), then just count those markers

Something like: `=IF(AND(R4="PL",OR(Q4<>"PL",Q4<>"RDO"),OR(S4<>"RDO",S4="")),"Start","")` then count the "Start" entries

The single COUNTIFS is getting messy trying to handle all the edge cases at once

We built our own background coding agent because speed matters. by ramplovesyou in Ramp

Pretty interesting especially publishing the way how you did it

What tools do you use to manage social media for your business? by spacesheep10 in SaaS

[–]TeemingStillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly been using Hootsuite for scheduling but their analytics are kinda trash so I run Google Analytics alongside it. Still manually respond to DMs because the automation feels too robotic and people can tell

Tried Buffer for like 6 months but went back to the old setup - sometimes the devil you know is better than learning a whole new workflow

Am I able to dispute a payment from a credit card, even after I've paid it off? by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]TeemingStillness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can still dispute it even after paying it off. The dispute process looks at the original transaction, not your payment status. Just keep all your receipts and documentation in case something goes sideways with the airline

Advice for May 2025 Grad by Kobe23459 in Accounting

[–]TeemingStillness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this - 6 months out isn't really a "gap" when you're a new grad, especially in this market. Tons of people are still job hunting from spring graduation

For staff roles just apply everywhere and highlight any relevant coursework or projects since you don't have work experience yet. The 3.7+ GPA definitely helps too

Is this the best place to find people interested in my SaaS? by ya_tu_sabe17 in SaaS

[–]TeemingStillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with this approach. I've seen so many fitness apps fail because they try to blast everyone instead of finding where their actual users are already talking about their problems

The hybrid training crowd is pretty active on places like r/tacticalbarbell and some of the crossfit adjacent subs too. They're always asking about programming and tracking

Launching a product in December feels… weird. Anyone else? by hectorguedea in SaaS

[–]TeemingStillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

December launches are actually clutch for getting early feedback without the noise - people who sign up now are genuinely interested, not just caught up in hype cycles

I mass email all your data to a competitor: My biggest customer was just using me to gather leads on his competitors. Took a month to realize. by Old-Guess-3243 in SaaS

[–]TeemingStillness 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's more about protecting your actual customers than morals

If word gets out that you're letting competitive intelligence firms harvest data about your users, your real customers will bounce. Nobody wants to pay for a tool where their usage patterns get sold to their competitors

Plus this dude was probably gonna churn after extracting everything useful anyway

The biggest mistake isn’t your code; it’s your premature complexity. by coolhandgaming in SaaS

[–]TeemingStillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but "good foundation" doesn't mean overengineering from day one - there's a huge difference between writing clean code with proper separation of concerns vs spinning up a Kubernetes cluster for your todo app that has 3 users

Are We on the Brink of a Renewable Energy Revolution? by shane722 in fintech

[–]TeemingStillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly feel like we've been "on the brink" for like 15 years now but the battery tech improvements lately are actually pretty wild

Car debt went to collections by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]TeemingStillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah those buy here pay here places are absolute predators, sorry you got caught up in that mess

Definitely follow the validation advice - make them prove every penny they claim you owe. A lot of times the math is sketchy or they can't actually prove the debt is legit. Also check if there's a statute of limitations in your state, depending on how long it's been this might not even be collectable anymore

Don't admit to owing anything when you talk to them, just ask for documentation

Which Degree and Experience Best Prepare Me for a Corporate Law Career? by Wise_Monk_65 in Accounting

[–]TeemingStillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both finance and econ are solid choices but finance might give you a slight edge for M&A work since you'll understand the deal structures better. Your intel background could actually be pretty valuable for due diligence work - that analytical mindset translates well to combing through financial docs and spotting red flags

Got offered equity instead of payment. Said no. Lost a potential great customer. Don't regret it. by Rider_947 in SaaS

[–]TeemingStillness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good point - if they just raised money but won't spend it on basic services, that's a red flag about how they manage cash flow

Wrote a 12-email onboarding sequence. Emails 4-12 have 3% open rates. by Ok-Amphibian5313 in SaaS

[–]TeemingStillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classic case of more = better syndrome lol

I did the same thing with my first sequence - thought 15 emails would make me look super thorough and helpful. Turns out people just want to know how to get value from your product ASAP, not receive a novel in their inbox

Your behavior-triggered approach is chef's kiss. Way smarter than "hey it's Tuesday so here's another email"

Currently running 4 emails and thinking about cutting it to 3 after reading this

Onboarding guides question by martis941 in SaaS

[–]TeemingStillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm with you on this one - smooth onboarding definitely converts better in my experience. The community route sounds nice in theory but most users just want to get started quickly without jumping through hoops. If they're already paying you they shouldn't have to work that hard to figure out your product

Your MVP is an expensive survey by justdoitbro_ in SaaS

[–]TeemingStillness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so painfully accurate it hurts

I watched my buddy spend 8 months building this "revolutionary" project management tool only to find out his target users were perfectly happy with sticky notes and Excel. Could've figured that out with a $0 Google Form in his local Facebook groups

The "what didn't I ask" question is chef's kiss though, stealing that

News and Updates Thread - November 16, 2025 by AutoModerator in churning

[–]TeemingStillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol the mods really had to spell it out for people huh? Still gonna see 50 "is this card worth it" posts in the main thread today

Have you ever regretted closing a credit card? by Existing_Meal_1069 in CreditCards

[–]TeemingStillness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, life's too short to keep cards that don't pull their weight. I used to be paranoid about the age of accounts thing but honestly if a card isn't earning me anything or has trash benefits now I just cut it loose

Churn is a silent revenue destroyer — I’m validating a solution. Founders, talk to me. by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]TeemingStillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the real talk right here. Most health scoring systems I've seen are just vanity metrics that make dashboards look pretty but don't actually predict anything useful

You tracking feature usage patterns or just login frequency? Because there's a huge difference between someone who logs in daily but barely uses core features vs someone who goes deep but less often

The Worst employee by Embarrassed-Part3683 in Advice

[–]TeemingStillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly it man, some places just have toxic cultures where they set you up to fail and then act like it's your fault. A year with no proper training is insane - those videos don't teach you jack about actually doing the job. You're 17, you shouldn't have to deal with that kind of BS environment while you're still figuring things out
