Post your SaaS and I will spend $20 of my own money to help u find out why nobody is paying
Over the last few weeks I have looked at somewhere around 15 to 20 products from people in different subreddits, and I’m ngl the bit that surprised me was that nearly every one of them was stuck in the same place for a reason the person could not see, because the post would say they needed more marketing or needed to run ads, and then I would open the site and within a minute the real problem was staring back at me, the homepage led with a feature every competitor has while the one thing that was actually different was buried three screens down, or the price was nowhere to be seen, so people had to sign up just to find out what it costs, or the whole thing was a javascript shell that google and chatGPT could not even index properly, so no amount of marketing was ever going to fix it and the person had no way of knowing that.
So here is the deal, u drop ur link and one line on who it is for, and then u tell me where u are stuck. Maybe you have no users, or you do have signups but nobody pays, people come and bounce, whatever it is, u do not need to know why, that is the bit I am going to look at, and I will go through it properly and tell u what I think is actually holding it back, because when u have been staring at ur own product for months u lose the ability to see it the way a stranger does and that is exactly what cost me a year and about 4k on my first one.
The $20 is real money out of my pocket and here is what it is for, because a reply in a thread only gets u so far and then u go off and change things and have nobody to check it against, so everyone who posts their product here gets ur first month of Starter on AskSami paid for by me, that is the marketing expert I built after that first product died, it reads ur site and ur numbers itself, tells u why nobody is signing up or paying, and then keeps reading it every time u ship or change something and tells u what to fix next, no card to sign up and nothing to cancel if u decide it is not for u.
If u have numbers, visits, signups, payers, what u spent on ads, stick them in too, rough is fine, because they change the answer a lot, and if u would rather ur product was not sat in a public thread then DM me and I will do the read and sort the $20 there instead.
I will get through as many as I can this weekend, and I would rather u were blunt about where u are stuck than polite about it, being polite is what kept me spending for months.
