i'm working on this, FeedbackQueue.dev

the way we get revenue is by premium models and credits.

1 credit = tester

and then the subs. free (for everyone) starter and pro

the subs are like this: you want feedback, but you haven't got time to give it? buy a sub and get higher in the queue.

the main perk is they get higher in the queue which then attracted many testers to the paid users. and then some even got more testers than they should have gotten (we have a protocol for that, though), and so they ended up getting many testers for peanuts. imagine (25 testers for $40)

we are still figuring out the pricing, so we felt a bit insecure about, yk, just bumping the prices, will people accept them or not? but people bought at that price even though we didn't promote the payments. this is the first time we have ever mentioned it in public or in front of our users. in the past 4.5 months

we never emailed, and we never explained them at all; we just had them there, and that's it. Because we are focusing on the queue side more than the paid side for now.

we'll raise prices for the 3rd time, but this time i think we'll give it a Nice bump. see what happens.

Moral of the story: if they paid, raise prices. (unless you're in a commodity war, then GG)

Here's our saas, here's our trustmrr link (This is not a "get rich quick" platform, it is a long term asset)

So, when i was getting offered or talking to investors or buyers, i learned a lot of shit that i wish i knew before started looking for them, so here's everything, on silver platter:

1. Never settle for 1 buyer, find multiple ones so that way they don't pick you, you pick who gets to buy
2. Always ask for how much they would give you as a price even if they say they "no, not interested." helps you gauge your baseline market value
3. A pitch deck is not a must. i don't have one till day. and i'm a copywriter and only 1 investor asked for a pitch deck
4. Investors don't give a shit about ideas, they care about money. ALL of them think in dollar signs. Buyers on the other hands can still invest in buying a good idea. depends on the person.
5. If you want to sell, don't make a full exit, make a partial exit.
6. if a buyer said the price is too much, don't argue, ask if they'll be willing to split the bill if you find them another fit buyer. that makes pitching easier but still hard to find that fit buyer
7. You don't need to have a registered business just to sell. you can sell it as an asset and make a strong contract to protect yourself. BUT always better to get legal advisor for this
8. Don't panic, act normally, if you can't, just try not to sound desperate. the more desperate you sound for the sale the more control they get over you
9. if someone says i want to ask my advisor first, run. he'll come back with the shittiest offer ever. don't raise your hopes on that one
10. you most CERTAINLY don't need to video or voice call them at all. most of the offers were just texts, unless you're selling a 6+ figure deal, chats still work.
11. if you want to sell, start with your users, they are usually the ones that don't need you to explain your product to, just explain why they should by it
12. Don't be afraid to ask for more. if the price felt too low for what they are asking? say it. if they say no? move on.
13. Always get a link of your traffic and revenue to give them right way. use trustmrr and give them a viewer access to your analytics dashboard or get a tool to share that with them (trustmrr also has a traffic analytics i guess, idk how to set it up tho, never tried)
14. optimize your scripts. yes, pitching to buyers and investors is EXACTLY like pitching to your audience, you just optimize your script and you move on to the next one
15. Don't DM the buyers (but okay with investors) buyers will open up more if they were inbound. try posting on r/saasforsale, r/saasacquire; or any other saas sale subs. also post them on flippa
16. prepare a kick ass story of "why" you want to buy. it needs to be human, real and a convincing enough reason to why you want to sell. if this step is not done correctly, everything else goes to the shitter

heyyy guys, i have been a bit bored last day and so i started working on a unique redesign for my portfolio, researchphantom.com/portfolio-pixel-art

it's not yet very optimized for the mobile, at least not all the pages that come after it, not that one. but tell me what you think.

is it good for half a day worth of work? (click on the PC, i'm working on that section, and it is better on PC, i have a smaaaaall bug that i'm fixing on the mobile view)

i'm working on a platform for SaaS founders and although we got users so far; i want to step up the game by partnering with influencers on X, IG, facebook and linkedin, any good names i should start with? especially ones with a newsletter

The last couple of days were NOT great for me; i lost a VERY close person, i may redo this uni year, i have been so stressed out with my finances and being broke that i impulsively decided to fully exit from my SaaS

But the most painful part that i discovered was that i'm not a fit for entrepreneurship, yet. I had to come to my peace that i'm not yet a fit to lead a business. Sure, I can market and generate demand, but i can't lead.

so that's why i decided to get a full clean exit and get a 9-5 to grow myself as a person before i grow a business. but then i took a well-earned break from everything, cleared my mind and deeply thought about it:

damn, my business could die without me in it.

no one understands the business as I do. and up to 70% of acquisitions end up failing after the founder leaves with his vision

if the problem is me being broke and not having to be the CEO, well, then i just need to find a job and get someone to lead on my behalf.

i can still market the idea and grow it without the leadership stress.

but if i completely leave, the business might flop. if i stay as the lead, i might flop.

since we collected many offers, i had a clear idea on the ask price; some offers even came from our users as well.

So now that my mind is clear, i decided to only sell the half; i take 25% and the dev takes 25% and the buyer gets ownership with 50%, while i work a part-time job elsewhere to support myself.

that way, the other person gets to lead; i get to make sure it doesn't flop once he comes in, and i get to keep marketing the saas that i really love.

We still haven't decided on the buyer; everyone is bringing his offer, and everyone is offering something different, but we are still on the hunt for someone to lead the business with us.

>lesson learned:
Don't make decisions under stress; they'll ALWAYS end up as the reincarnation of dumbness. Get a break, go to the beach and give it a nice thought. But NEVER make the same mistake as i did.

i'm not here to beg for a client, i'm here to actually make things.

i started as a copywriter, wrote and optimized websites up to 12% conversion rate (3x the industry avg). then started learning some design because i couldn't work with designers, not that they are bad, but sometimes it becomes harder to prioritize who gets to lead, the copy or the good design.

i'm not a very professional designer but i don't use AI to design and actually start from scratch on canva.

then i started developing

them. technically, vibecoding the design. Take that design and make it move, simple but looks much better than static design. i don't have a wide experience on this side yet as i only made my website this way and made a cool interactive website that looked like a video game.

if that's not good for you, i have a dev friend to refer you to.

and just so we are on the same page, i'm not building websites for $10 and not even $100. i really can't spend a week working day and night to get paid less than what a McDonald's cook makes in a day. (yes, i give every project AT LEAST a week to put more effort into it and make something worth it.)

if this is not a fit for you, then i can help you find cheaper labor that has good experience (for a fee), it's easier for a copywriter to hire a copywriter than a business owner.

i have been working on this platform and it is not the direct monetization kind of saas. it's not like "i do you a service and you pay for it" kind of saas.

which is what i'm asking about

i have this vision for this platform that it will gain a good money once we crack he consistant stream of traffic but right now, it is purely helping the users but not us.

The developer always keeps asking when will we make money or that we are dying, or that we had better months than this but i always explain that this is not a short term fast money platform.

it need patient and a lot of it

but like all that pressure got me thinking

am really having a vision or just dreaming?
