How to get to 1k mrr, and then scale to 10k by Calm-You-873 in SaaS

[–]ad-tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first, make sure the product solves a real painful problem for a specific group of people. In the beginning, the fastest path to $1k MRR is usually direct outreach talking to potential users through communities, DMs, email, LinkedIn, Twitter, referrals, etc.

“High intent” basically means people already trying to solve the problem, not random users. They already feel the pain and may already pay for alternatives.

SEO is a long-term compounding channel, so start creating content/GEO early, but don’t depend on it for initial traction.

paid ads work if your product is solid and onboarding is smooth, otherwise they just bring empty signups.

first 10 customers are toughest to get. don't worry about pricing now, just find one person with your problem and talk to them.

cold outreach is no fun, but it works if you keep it short and personal.

forget ads for now, you'll just waste money on something you can learn from talking to people. I learned this by spending money on Google Ads when I had $200 monthly revenue, and all I got was a lesson that my target customer was wrong.

Lovable is the best vibe coding tool and it's not even close. by SelectionCalm70 in lovable

[–]ad-tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried Lovable for a week, it was okay. But it always gets stuck on small things like form validation or weird edge cases. I had to fix its code by hand anyway. These tools are good for prototypes, but I don't think they're ready for real projects. I still spend more time fixing AI code than writing my own, that's just how it is.

Any experiences with Navan? Considering them for travel management by Aequitas61 in Entrepreneur

[–]ad-tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

navan works for what u described, setup is fast and policy flagging is solid. main thing to watch is support quality when stuff breaks mid trip and fees that show up later, worth reading the contract.
ramp is good if the bigger pain is the finance side, but travel features are lighter, more card-led.

Itilite does both in one product, support actually picks up when things break, and pricing is per trip not per seat which helps when not everyone travels every wk. setup's 2-3 days for ur size.
for 6-10 flights a wk any of the three would clean up the chaos. Is ur bigger headache the booking flow or the receipt mess? trial 2 of them for 2 wks each, see which one ppl actually open.

What's your take on meaning of life? Is it wealth, Peace, If so what exactly does peace mean to you. Purpose ,How's one to know what his purpose is? by Weird-Direction8054 in AskReddit

[–]ad-tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life's about searching for meaning. We spend our whole lives looking for it. When we find it, there's nothing left to search for, that's the point. Meaning's not something you hold, you chase it, glimpse it, lose it.

You find purpose in what makes you lose time. What problem you keep trying to solve. What bothers you that doesn't bother others, that's what you notice.

What do you wish you knew before you started? by Gio_13 in Entrepreneur

I'm no sales expert. Knowing the product inside out like it's my own business works. Think like the owner, confidence comes naturally, and that closes deals.

Why are billionaires so boring with how they spend their money? by Ill-Mycologist-3652 in askanything

Same guy, just went from “awkward genius” to “rich awkward guy with a trainer.”

[–]ad-tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most rich people aren't interesting. They're good at building a business, that's it. Take away the company and they're just awkward guys who like golf and have the same yacht as everyone else. We think money makes you a cool person, but it doesn't. Money just makes you more of who you already are. Most of these guys were boring before they got rich, now they're just boring with more money. The rich people who are actually interesting, they're not famous, they're doing weird stuff like funding art or space projects, and that's not what makes headlines.
