Just regular SaaS businesses. 1 is a Shopify-like app, the other is a Twitter scheduler. However, some of my customers have been filing friendly fraud claims. I'm just wondering if I should be concerned.

The value of Gumroad is certainly the software for the end-users. End-users don't care about validating uploads. But validating uploads is a necessary evil in order to sustain the business. All user input is evil, but especially so whe

Yeah, and I need a way to screen for people who upload stuff that isn't theirs and selling it. I think that's a huge legal liability. Maybe for this business I finally need to set up an LLC. I heard Gumroad has tons of outsourced

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Even merely listing them on my site is a huge liability. And I'd be in deep trouble if someone uploaded child porn or something.

Okay, what happens if there are bad actors among my users who use my service to send Nigerian prince emails or boner pill ads? How will that affect my relationship with Sendgrid?

Oh, seems strange for them not to spin up their own mail-sending server. Why not do that? They're funded to the gills.

I don't want to sound stupid, but I don't know what you mean. What's sendemail? Also I don't know anything about badges. But I think you've pointed me in the right direction.

Why can't I just build my own onboarding sequence? It's really not that hard. Plus it's free if I DIY, and I have full control over it. Data goes straight to my database instead of being collected through a third-party form.

I'm not sure if you examined the material, but his material looked extremely legit, from my perspective as a SaaS founder. His knowledge of sales and marketing for mid-ticket b2b SaaS is just right on the money.

If it doesn't work out, I'll just get another job. Considering that I quit a shit job to get to where I am (it's not like I quit a $150k tech job), I'll get another shit job to replace it. It's really not that hard

I'm on mobile. At first I didn't get what it did. Ordinarily I'd just close the tab, but I decided to read About. And then I got it. So I went back to the app. Clicked on the END time button. Nothing happened. Weird. Ohhhh...

Wow. I'm very glad you persisted and kept going. How do you keep your morale so high? The thing about cold-calling is, I've done it before in the past -- I mean, who hasn't worked at a call center before? But it doesn't

I don't know anyone in my network who could test it out, hell at this point I'm willing to pay someone just to earnestly test it out and provide feedback that I'm so hungry for. I'm definitely looking into industry event

Absolutely. I'm already starting a blog and pumping it up with content, hopefully I can capture some leads with a MailChimp form too.

I'm not sure it is, I think we have an easier UI (less-steep learning curve) and better pricing structure (competitors have high setup fees + high monthly, we have a results-based revenue model).
24.
by boeing767 7y ago
I'm trying to get there. I have direct competitors who love and need their solutions, so these people definitely exist, I just need to reach them. And perhaps differentiate even more to get them to switch.

by boeing767 7y ago
Thanks. I'll refuel my morale for now and get back into it soon. I'll make more calls. I use Mailgun to track my email opens/clicks, so I'll also keep doing that.

What went wrong during your first go at it?

by boeing767 7y ago
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I got to ramen profitability within 6 months in my previous SaaS startup. I'm not saying it wasn't hard, but it isn't this super-impossible thing everyone makes it out to be.

Well my day job deteriorated to a state where the stress of staying on far exceeded the anxiety of leaving it, so the only rational thing to do is to cut it off. As for customer development, there are already multiple healthily-growing star
