Building a $38k/Month SaaS Business as a Solo Founder with Jordan O'Connor of Closet Tools

Episode #187

Jordan O'Connor (@jdnoc) is one of the more impressive solo founders I've had on the podcast. Saddled with student loan debt and eager to take care of his growing family, Jordan embarked on a years-long journey to learn as much as he could and help everyone in his path. In this episode, we talk about how he developed the skills to build a $38,000/month SaaS business all on his own, and the importance of understanding that not only can your business help people, but it has to in order to succeed.

    Guys what course did he take for SEO?

    1. 4

      It was Marketing Inc. by ViperChill. But it’s not open now.

      I recommend content/courses by Brian Dean at Backlinko.com.

        Thanks for the reply! I couldn't quite hear the name of the course and was googling "Piper Jill SEO course" looking for it ... lol

        That was such an inspiring and informative interview, thanks for sharing your experience!

          Edit - realized I said that above. Ignore.

          Thanks for listening!

    I actually got into indiehacking when I figured out day-trading isn't right for me. I would end up with less money than I started with, which was demotivating. Instead I focused on building something bit by bit, learning the skills and validating a product. It took a while but the recurring revenue is safer than any dividend/profits i could earn by trading my money (and time spent in analyzing/tracking stocks).

    I'm sure you'll make the right calls, but always keep in mind - in a gold rush sometimes better to sell shovels instead of throwing everything at it for a shot at gold. Maybe you'll build a kick ass tool for algo trading instead of taking on investing per se. But I'm sure you'll be lead to the right path.

    You're an inspiration, thank you for your insights!

    All the best for 2021 Jordan!

      Yeah I don’t plan on doing any speculative trading at all. That’s basically gambling. It’ll be 100% data driven.

      Thanks for listening!

    It would be cool to include a quick intro on the company/tool that are being discussed, in the beginning.
    Sometimes i'm 30 minutes in the interview and still have no idea what the product is.

        So I watched the whole thing after I made that comment. All I have to say is well done. I hope I can become as successful as you one day. You are truly an inspiration both as a family man and a developer.

        1. 1

          Thanks! I'm sure you can/will be. Stay focused and learn the valuable skills needed.
