Or small size.

Recently, I made a post about a guy who had a business idea and decided to sell it before the product was even finished — and the benefits he got from doing that.

Some comments and threads made me reflect on something.

A lot of people are afraid to admit they might be looking in the wrong direction.

Afraid of exposure.

And trapped in this arrogant belief that somehow they’ll make a living just by sitting behind a keyboard.

Life happens outside.

And if you don’t do it, someone else will move first.

Maybe with less knowledge.
Maybe with less talent than you.

How you sell matters more than the technical features of what you build.

What problems you solve matters more than what you think is a good idea.

The pain you remove from people’s lives matters more than your concepts.

But like I said… there’s an arrogant belief behind all this.

With enough research and good COMMUNICATION, you can do it too.

And if you don’t know how… study. Or reread this thread and see what you can learn from it.

PS: My English isn’t great, so if something sounds weird… now you know why.

That’s one of the best pieces of advice I got from one of the biggest Spanish-speaking copywriters out there. The guy makes millions a year.

Besides saying you should send one email a day and build strong landing pages.

There are tons of frameworks for persuasive landing pages that convert.

But what about subscriber landing pages?

The kind that make people feel almost stupid for not subscribing.

I understand that the page should make people think:

“These guys understand my problems… and they might actually help me solve them.”

So I’m curious:

What structures do you know for high-converting opt-in pages?

PS: My English isn’t great.
PPS: Don’t just say “AIDA”. I mean actual step-by-step structures.

Un tipo decidió montar un negocio para ganar dinero. Cuando tuvo lista la “idea” no se pasó meses construyendo su empresa.

Hizo algo mejor, e inesperado.

Empezó a vender sin ni siquiera tener el producto. Esto le permitió validar su idea, saber que piensa su cliente, tener feedback y…

Conseguir sus primeros clientes.

Veo muchos hilos de Reddit donde los founders no saben cómo vender sus productos, la mayoría productos que no resuelven nada.

Los devs y los founders deben aprender a vender y a comunicar, o de lo contrario, delegar en los que sabemos, sino, seguirán siendo invisibles.

A guy once decided he wanted to start a business to make money.

But once he found the “idea”, he didn’t waste time building the product first and hoping the market would validate it later.

He did something smarter, started selling before the product even existed, and that allowed him to:

- validate the idea.
- understand the market and the ICP
- get feedback
- and get his first clients.

Meanwhile, most Reddit threads are people asking how to get customers for products nobody really asked for.

People building for audiences they dnt understand.

A founder or a dev should know how to sell and communicate and if they don’t, they should delegate to those of us who do.

PS: I dnt speak English very well I hope this will help you.

Pay attention to this because it can help you a lot.

If you know how to do it well, you can get a lot more out of your business and outperform your competitors.

Anthropic is apparently looking for a copywriter to work closely with their marketing director.

Funny thing is the AI company known for writing the best still needs a human to handle the messaging.

Take that however you want.

But honestly, it’s probably smarter and definitely more profitable to learn how to communicate and sell your SaaS yourself.

And if you don’t know how, or you don’t have the time, hire someone who does.

PS: I’m seeing a lot of SaaS founders struggling with this exact problem.

PPS: Studying communication gave me a much wider perspective on all of this.

PPPS: I don’t speak English very well but I still find ways to make things work.

Or rather, how do you sell it...

You're good at code but you have no idea how to sell it, and it happens to all of us. It's not that I'm good or better at code, not at all.

I like psychology, persuasion and copywriting, I don't come to promote anything, I just want to know what difficulties you have to sell your SaaS, and if you do it very well, learn from you.

Anyway, if you send me your website I can take a look at how you sell it and what your communication is and we get two things, I learn from you and maybe you learn from me.

PS: I'm Spanish and I don't speak much English, but I look for life well.

Me gustaría empezar un negocio online. Vengo del mundo industrial (fábrica de producción) pero me interesa mucho la persuasión y se que puedo aplicarla al mundo digital.
