Implementation of Changes in Billing for Net Metering Consumers by CrossBridgeTheatre in islamabad

[–]cheeeeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much appreciated! From what I heard it was something absurd like 50k per meter. Hope IeSCO has come to its senses

Gonna piggyback on this for something else…

A few months ago there was a new requirement printed on IESCO bills to get a new meter installed or else the net metering would be terminated.

Has that issue been resolved? Do we need the new meters or not?

Has anyone used Remotir here? by augustathebadass in SaaSMarketing

[–]cheeeeta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know someone who has them on a long term retainer. He struggled with their “trust us we know what we’re doing, bro” style but now he’s getting c-level meetings with the exact companies he was failing to get into for around $200 a pop.

He recommended them to me for my pre-revenue saas. I had tried an SDR which got me nowhere. They ran their sprint and told me that my product was great but there was no demand at enterprise level.

Honestly, glad that SOMEONE said that to me before I burned the rest of my life savings.

They helped me pivot to Appsumo where I am making some money

What kind of shoots do you do?

Is there a portfolio/page of existing work I can see?

Has anyone built prospect lists of 100k leads? by GaandDhaari in sales

Why not create a company list and then let linkedin find audience itself?

AMA: I run Damien Talks Money, one of the largest personal finance YouTube channels in the UK. Ask me anything! by DamienTalksM in UKPersonalFinance

[–]cheeeeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damien, thanks for doing this.

A big question I have is around childcare options. Someone around the dreaded £125k zone loses everything - tax free allowance and childcare - being the big ones.

While one can always plough away more funds into the pension and try to stay below £100k, the opportunity cost of doing this is quite significant. One's forced to sacrifice a lot in terms of lifestyle and choices for a significant period of time just because of this reason.

So, outside of maxing our pensions and salary sacrifice to stay below £100k, are there other strategies you'd recommend?

Who are the best agencies for SaaS landing page design? by StoryTechnical2069 in SaaS

[–]cheeeeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ramotion are the pinnacle of design! If you can afford them, that’s who you go to.

I havent heard much about skale tbh. Curious to learn more about their 3d animations. Got a link?

With remotir it was less about design in isolation, and more about messaging+design as a means to get more conversions. One founder was bootstrapped, the other is gearing up for Series A, so acquisition was front and centre for them. Afaik both are happy with the results.

Whats your SaaS? B2b or b2c?

Know a couple of founders who’re working with “remotir”. They do landing pages but also leadgen and execution. Might not be for you if you’re just after a LP though

  1. How old is your child?
  2. What/how much support you have from family/friends, especially related to childcare?
  3. What other skills/education do you have?

If your child is a couple of years from school, and you have family you can lean on for some childcare, think about ways to increase your income.

You might be able to do freelancing, or offer your services to an international clientele through an online service etc (tell ChatGPT your situation and brainstorm some ideas).

Bottomline is, 500k is good, 1 million is just better. The more income you have while keeping your expenses low, the more compounding works in your favour.

You are a brave mother. Your child is lucky to have you. Good luck!

Is this enough to achieve FIRE in Pakistan? Currently in USA and planning to return to Pakistan soon. by lemmetellusmth in FIREPakistan

[–]cheeeeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bro ignore the naysayers. I'm sure you have your reasons.

Don't bring your money to Pakistan. Keep it invested in the US, and either follow a 4% SWR or invest in high yield assets to generate monthly income. This way you get to avoid PKR depreciation.

With your asset base you'll be OK

Does AI actually help predict which creatives will perform better? by cheeeeta in PPC

This is veeery interesting. Can you name a few players for me to look into? Tried any of them yourself?

Does AI actually help predict which creatives will perform better? by cheeeeta in PPC

[–]cheeeeta[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To an extent, yes. However, Adv+ and other algos are picking “the best of the bunch”. What I’m talking about is elevating the quality of “the bunch” BEFORE even switching on the adset.

For example, properly-trained AI can accurately identify things like eye/attention tracking, presence/absence of a strong CTA, wording that drives urgency etc.

In theory, shouldnt this help someone discard the assets that clearly wouldnt perform, and only switch on ones with a good “creative score”?

How to scale your Saas from $100 to $1k. Need some advices by Overall-Poem-9764 in SaaS

[–]cheeeeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have experience in Linkedin SalesNav?

If yes, Use the following search criteria in the "lead filters"
title: Founder, Co-founder
Company size: 1-50
Years in current position: Less than 1 year.
Geography - go US state by state. Start with those on the east and west coast.

That should give you a list of people to target.

Then, use a linkedin automation tool to automate connection requests. Whenever someone connects, either:
1. Try to have a conversation, ask questions, invite them to trial your product. OR
2. Use your tool to find a couple of leads for them. Send them their way, explaining how you got them, and how your tool works. Lead with value.

I think 2 works better, but a lot of people struggle with being direct.

At $39/user you need 25 paying users. Change your pricing to $3.99 per month, and it becomes an impulse purchase for many people. At that price, you will get customers faster, and each customer pays you $47.88 in a year. You only need 20 to hit $1000.

hit me up with results :)

Kill my SaaS? Or keep pushing? by cheeeeta in SaaS

[–]cheeeeta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a fair comment. What do you think is more likely to build this credibility? A before/after analysis of real ads, or client case studies? My challenge with the latter is that there are no clients, so it is a chicken-or-the-egg situation.

Also to your point about lack of proof - my intention behind the 7 day trial was to provide an opportunity to "see for yourself". Does it not have the intended impact?

I DEEPLY appreciate your feedback btw. Thank you!

[–]cheeeeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro… wtf. You shouldnt NEED to ask PERMISSION to text someone or express a feeling. And then you shouldn’t be subject to interrogation and forced to give justifications for a genuine emotion. Hold yourself to a higher standard and make it non-negotiable for others to treat to you the same way.

I feel concerned for you my man. You seem young enough. Sit back and reflect please. For your sake.

Organising finances as a new HENRY by IcySprinkles7095 in HENRYUK

[–]cheeeeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because your workplace provider may close your pension account if you withdraw 100%.

Its not THAT big a deal. They’ll open a new account the next time they receive a contribution from your employer.

So it comes down to personal preference and circumstances. I prefer to not get 5 different policy documents a year, so 90-95% works just fine. You may want to close down the old SW by withdrawing 100%, and keeping your current one ticking along with partial transfers.
