How I've Built a Micro Saas Exploiting ChatGPT

Hey IH crew!

Long time no post! Missed you all like a coder misses semicolons.

Remember that app that made waves last year on IH? ChatBase, the one that started chatting with PDFs before it was cool. Last I heard, they were raking in 160K MRR and flirting with WordPress plugins and Whatsapp. Where are they now? Who knows, but hats off to them!

So, here's the scoop. I dabbled with a similar idea and launched my own chatbot for customer service. Despite throwing SEO and PPC at it like confetti, it barely made a ripple. So, let's not dwell on that SaaS-tastrophe.

But every cloud has a silver lining, right? While licking my wounds, I stumbled upon a goldmine keyword: "ai rewriter." Google Trends was like, "Hey, this is hot!" And I thought, why not ride this wave? Thus, TextFlip was born - initially for rewriting, but then it snowballed into an organic traffic fiesta, thanks to a bunch of juicy keywords.

And guess what? It's like a UN meeting in there! With ConveyThis WordPress plugin, I added 108 languages, and now I've got fans from Mexico to Indonesia. Current MRR? A humble $1,500, but hey, Rome wasn't built in a day.

So, lay it on me, folks! Roast my SaaS, sprinkle some wisdom, or share a virtual high five. You've been aces with Gglot, and I'm all ears for your thoughts on TextFlip.ai!
