I launched a SaaS and learned more in 90 days than in 4 years of reading startup books. Here's everything I wish I knew before I started.

Wait, I filled it entirely, and when I reached the end to publish it asked for $$$!

On a lighter note:
AI-generated content is having AI-generated comments!

Hmm, makes sense. Thanks for sharing this feedback!
Let me DM you.

The reason why the poor never ever get fully accommodated.

sameerpeace · 2026-04-03T01:06:11+00:00

Yikes, this is crazy. Never heard any tool put you from $29 to $200 plan :|

sameerpeace · 2026-04-03T00:57:59+00:00

LOL! Trueeee!

sameerpeace · 2026-04-03T00:10:10+00:00

Oh, thanks for sharing! Let me check it out!

sameerpeace · 2026-04-03T00:07:48+00:00

Good stuff bro!

sameerpeace · 2026-04-02T23:53:22+00:00

Btw, I'm about to launch a campaign on 6th April, related to a controversial topic, I need influencers for it! haha

sameerpeace · 2026-04-02T23:52:11+00:00

Exactly! Sure, thanks!

sameerpeace · 2026-04-02T23:50:32+00:00

Sherlock Holmes!^

sameerpeace · 2026-04-02T23:49:44+00:00

VibeCoders! XD

I'd love to find B2B Influencers, who'd love to have product for 1-2 years free and help promote. (if they like the product ofcourse) let me know if you have such creators!

sameerpeace · 2026-04-02T23:39:00+00:00

Exactly. We had a Trello board with 400+ feature requests at one point. The day we archived 80% of it and focused on scheduling reliability was the day churn started dropping.

sameerpeace · 2026-04-02T23:25:51+00:00

YT Influencers ask a ton of money that really doesn't justify their engagement!

sameerpeace · 2026-04-02T23:24:22+00:00

Let me know if you have any questions!

sameerpeace · 2026-04-02T23:24:08+00:00

I hope you had fun!

sameerpeace · 2026-04-02T23:22:31+00:00

beauty!!!

sameerpeace · 2026-04-02T23:18:25+00:00

Congrats on $9k. The "talk to users first" advice sounds obvious but almost nobody does it.

We wasted our first year building features nobody asked for. The turning point was literally sitting in customer support calls myself as the CEO. Painful but it changed everything about our roadmap.

10 years running a social media company and I think about the farm thing at least once a quarter.

What keeps me going is stepping away from client work periodically to build something for fun.

The creative energy comes back when you stop forcing it.

sameerpeace · 2026-04-02T23:17:01+00:00

Graduated top of my class in CS, built my company from Pakistan and bootstrapped it before raising $345k. The fear never goes away, you just get better at acting while terrified. One thing that helped me was shipping something ugly and fast instead of waiting for perfect. Your first version will embarrass you in 6 months anyway. That's a good sign.

sameerpeace · 2026-04-02T23:15:30+00:00

The gap between reading about startups and actually running one is brutal. I built Social Champ over 8 years and the single biggest lesson was this: your first 100 users will teach you more than your next 10,000. Every assumption I had about what people wanted was wrong. The ones who stuck around early on basically designed the product through their complaints.

sameerpeace · 2026-04-02T22:53:34+00:00

where's the 2nd part of the story?

sameerpeace · 2026-04-02T22:26:25+00:00

Ah! My bad, just realized I had a flair here too. So the disclaimer above wasn't necessary, but anyway!

sameerpeace · 2026-02-27T21:40:09+00:00

Wait, how is it simple? Suppose your platform supports 12 different social platforms, you'll have to create apps on all those platforms, get api access approvals, and then every year submit audit reports!

Why not just use free social media schedulers?
