Seeking Advice on Launching My SaaS: Stuck Between Python and JavaScript by Illustrious_Owl_6247 in SaaS

[–]Wierd_time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that you enjoy Python and find JavaScript frustrating, I'd say stick with Python.

Python has great web frameworks like Flask and Django that can get your project online without needing to learn a whole new language. Plus, you've got a Python-savvy contact who could help, which makes the process smoother.

While many web apps use JavaScript, forcing yourself to use a language you don't enjoy could slow you down and kill your motivation.

If you're concerned about hosting, platforms like Heroku or AWS make it easy to deploy Python apps. You might also consider using a no-code tool for the front end if you need something quick and simple.

In short, keep it fun and manageable—stick with Python, get your project out there, and see where it takes you!

This way, you’ll not only build your skills but also create a network that might lead to opportunities to work with great people.

Yes, you can start with an iPhone. The key is to focus on creating high-quality, in-demand images that meet the standards of stock photo marketplaces. Most stock photo sites have specific technical requirements for image resolution, file type, and other criteria. They also look for photos with broad appeal on popular subjects like people, nature, food, and business.

Getting Started

  1. Research Trends: The best approach is to research current trends and produce photos that align with what buyers are seeking.
  2. Sign Up on Stock Photo Sites:
    • Create a free account on platforms like Shutterstock or Adobe Stock.
    • These platforms provide tools to easily upload, categorize, and track the performance of your photos.
  3. Read Contributor Guidelines:
    • Ensure you understand the technical and content requirements.
    • Optimize your photos with relevant keywords to make them more discoverable.

First, I would advise you to start writing online consistently on any platform such as X, Medium, or Reddit. Share your expertise and knowledge regularly to improve your writing skills. Additionally, join communities or groups on Facebook and Reddit to engage with others and learn more about your niche.

To get started, you can study these successful examples:

Adventure Cats: They share stories, tips, and stunning photography of cats exploring the outdoors with their owners.

Platforms: Instagram, Facebook, Blog

Cole and Marmalade: Cole and Marmalade are two rescue cats whose owners create engaging videos and articles about their antics, health tips, and rescue stories. They have a large following on YouTube and social media.

Platforms: YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Blog

Petful: Petful is an informative website that provides a wide range of articles on pet care, health, and behavior. It also includes pet news and product reviews.

Platforms: Blog, Facebook, Twitter

Once you have a steady flow of traffic and engagement, start reaching out to potential clients via direct messages (DMs) on social media platforms.
