A couple years back I stumbled across this page and wanted to start building something of my own. Since then I’ve invested blood sweat, tears and all the capital I had available to build a TimeSheet SaaS company. It’s been hard but enjoyable, incredible highs and incredible lows. Now I know it’s nothing impressive but this year the company earned $20,000! It’s still got a long way to go before I can quit my job and go full time but considering I started drawing out the ideas on a paper scrap book 4 years ago and now people are paying real money and signing up just because they like the system is an incredible feeling. I know there’s a bunch of bollocks on here and half of us think every post is a promotion or a yarn but I wanted to say thank you to this community, you really helped me stay optimistic while things were tough and provided a lot of great insights into how to grow and scale. Really appreciate it!
Congrats on your success. Couple things I noticed:
You answered above that you did little to no marketing. Did you charge your customers from the beginning or did you have free users initially & then started charging.
I have a resume builder app and it’s free for everyone for now. I want to grow to 1000 customers and then have a paid plan. Wanted to know if you used similar techniques?
Thanks
