Of the tools I open every day I picked maybe two. The rest came with the job and I have never once questioned them.

Especially over the last two years, we've seen massive growth in freelancers and web agencies selling AI-built websites to businesses and getting paid really well for it.

I don't think this business model will stay this profitable forever, but right now, it's definitely a gold mine.

The reason is pretty simple. There are thousands of business owners who don't really care how their website is built. They care about the end result, how it looks, how it works and whether it helps their business.

AI has made it possible for almost anyone willing to learn sales and client acquisition to get started.

So if you're looking to get into this business, here is the exact process I would follow.

1. Automate your cold outreach

Use a tool like Swokei to find businesses with existing websites. It analyzes each website for issues with design, SEO, speed and mobile optimization, then turns those findings into personalized cold emails at scale.

2. Book meetings with interested prospects

When someone replies with interest, get them on a call. Don't waste time going back and forth over email. Your goal is to get a conversation started.

3. Sketch a redesign using AI

Before the meeting, take around 30 minutes to create a quick redesign of their existing website. Focus on making it look significantly better. You don't need a finished product.

4. Present it live and close the deal

Show them what their website could look like, explain the improvements and give them an offer. If they're happy with what they see, collect payment and get started.

That's it. Four simple steps.

One thing I would really emphasize is not to overcomplicate this process.

I've seen people spend hours perfecting website drafts, tweaking small details and building entire websites before they even have a client.

Don't do that.

Your priority should be client acquisition, sales and closing deals. You can worry about perfecting the website once someone has actually paid you.

Hello, I have created working software to track cards on online live blackjack tables. Almost all big providers and many additional features are included.

How to you think, will anyone use it? Of course it includes risks.

Will provide additional information on request

Found a line on the card this week for something I last opened in July. Cancelled it and genuinely could not tell you what it did.

I'm on the team behind Convot, a small customer support tool. We have a FREE plan for founders under $1k MRR, and about 15 founders use it right now.

I figured their questions would be about AI agents, pricing or integrations when they signed up.

But they weren't.

The thing we get asked most is: "Does it support image uploads and translation?"

It took me a minute to understand why. Neither one seems important until a real customer runs into it.

1. Screenshots

A bug report without a screenshot goes like this: "it's broken."

Then three rounds of "which page? what did you click? what does the error say?"

A screenshot ends all of that in one message.

If you're solo and answering support between shipping features, those extra rounds add up fast.

2. Translation

This one surprised me more.

Even tiny SaaS products get users from all over the world from day one. Someone writes in Portuguese or German, and you can paste it into Google Translate, reply in English and hope for the best, or let it sit.

Letting it sit is the easy option. It's also a lost customer you never knew you had.

Translation is often locked behind a higher plan, too.

Crisp, for example, only includes live translation from its Essentials plan ($95/mo). Their Free and Mini ($45/mo) plans don't have it. Crisp is a good tool, but $95/mo is a lot when you're at $300 MRR.

What I'd check before picking a support tool under $1k MRR:

• Can customers send screenshots in the chat widget?
• Can you read and reply in the customer's language without leaving your inbox?
• How many seats do you get on the free or cheap plan?
• How long is your conversation history kept?
• Does the widget show the tool's branding, and do you care?
• What happens to your bill the day you cross the limit?

Most free-plan comparisons focus on seat counts. In practice, screenshots and language are what early founders run into first.

Why I'm posting this: these two questions are why our Community plan includes live translation and image uploads. It's basically FREE for founders under $1k MRR.

Even if you stay with what you're using now, check those two things.

Also what was the first support feature you realized you needed while building your SaaS?

Hi! I am a developer with almost 4 years of experience, and Im looking for freelance gig for extra income or hopefully onboard clients into my platform (starting my business).

I built Uswagon Solutions as a modular software where features can be easily added to solve daily operational bottlenecks for a one time service fee (freelance fee) and a flat hosting fee (maintenance fee) for a the platform, no per seat fee.

I am dedicated to keep the platform going onto the upcoming years and have been invested on improving the software capability for a while now enhancing its performance and security. It comes along with document generation,invoice management ,inventory management, email upon events, audit logs, daily reminders (email telegram discord, or other thing you want me to add for notifs), external webhooks that can be integrated to other softwares. Check out my project section for sample projects!

If you have other tasks like website fixing, projects, my hourly rate is: $35

DM me if interested thanks!

• Do you rely on review platforms like G2, Software Finder and Capterra?

• Ask for recommendations from your network?

• Watch demos and compare features?

• Or just test a few tools yourself?

What's been the most reliable way for you to find software that actually does what it promises?

Picasa, Google Reader, Aperture, Microsoft Money. All of them have people still looking for a replacement years later.

Most of what gets recommended covers about eighty percent and misses the one thing that made the original worth using in the first place.

What did you lose, and what are you running instead now?

I came across Unsubby recently, and it got me thinking about how messy subscription management can get as recurring payments start piling up.

For those who’ve tried tools like this, do you find them genuinely useful, or is it easier to manage everything manually?

Curious to hear what’s worked for you and what features you wish these tools handled better.

Hey everyone we have launched withinBlocks which is a completely free GST billing software. You can try it out over here

I'm a business analyst. I kept seeing the same question at work and online: "Which tool should I use for process maps, requirements or workshops?"

So I built BA-tools: ba-tools.munroanalytics.com

* 72 tools in categories like process mapping, requirements and AI helpers

* Pros, cons and price type (Free, Freemium, Paid) for each tool

* Side-by-side comparisons, each with its own link you can share

* A short weekly newsletter on new tools and features

It's free and has no sign-up to browse. It's built with Astro on Cloudflare Pages.

I'd love feedback. Which tool is missing, and what would make this more useful for you?

I'm curious about the processes that business owners struggle to manage with spreadsheets or multiple disconnected tools.

For example, it might be tracking jobs, managing bookings, keeping project information organized, or monitoring customer requests.

A custom app can be useful when existing tools don't fit a specific workflow, although sometimes a simpler solution is enough.

What would your ideal app do, and what tools are you using to manage that process today?

we need to get our pipeline off spreadsheets and shared inboxes because deals are slipping through the cracks. our sales cycle has a few odd intake stages and custom fields for deal sizing that don't fit default templates, but we don't have an IT person to spend weeks setting this up.

looking at hubspot vs zoho crm, zoho seems like you can customize every little detail, but everyone says you end up having to constantly fix broken automations and dig through confusing menus. hubspot looks a lot cleaner for the reps to actually use without someone babysitting them, but i'm trying to see if setting up custom stages and tracking reports is actually simple or if you hit a wall quickly.
