MVP with whitelabel, what's next?
I whitelabled a product to resell to businesses. It works, but after using it for awhile, my customers truly need a clearer, and simpler product that only uses the features I have been selling. I have 25 paying customers, bringing me around $4000/ a month in recurring income.
I'm not a developer, and things are still tight financially. The business is making around 75% profit, just tough living off what's left and also paying a developer to execute this new saas product, which is why I've just stuck with what I have.
I know exactly what the product needs now that I've sold the 25 customers . I guess I'm looking for suggestions as to what would be your guys next move? Continue with the whitelabel and just wait until I can afford development, or partner with somebody technical or what other options?
Do you already know about bubble.is? Using it could reduce development cost and time dramatically, I like it a lot. I would develop a mvp with it as a next step.
Tell us more about the product or service, perhaps someone here is willing to partner with you.
Continue with the white labelling until it becomes too frustrating to deal with.
In the meantime, develop some MVP designs based on customer feedback.
Since your customers want something clearer and simple, I believe it won't have so many features and something that shouldn't take months to spin off. While you continue selling the white-label product, I can help with developing the simpler version if you are interested. I am not expensive
Sell more!?
So lets build your mvp... im a fullstack web dev looking for opportunities!
What are you whitelabeling? I whiteleable a couple things and I'm always looking to help integrate with other products.
I would continue to whitelabel and sell, unless the features are a blocker.
That is great, I would be interested in know more. How can i reach out to you?
Thanks for the replies so far! Very encouraging and helpful. It's good to get a bit of outside advice as I've been doing this 100% solo and feels great to get others opinions.
The product is an SMS based platform, designed for a different target market but I've hacked a few things together inside of it to create a pretty effective product for the retail industry.
My experience was in retail b2b, so naturally I went this route again and took the software face to face, b2b cold calling which is how I got my 25 customers so far. I plan to continue cold calls since its a clear path to 100 customers, but ideally I'd love more of a self serve model so I can grow across a bigger area. The face to face is a much more time intensive path I wish not to always follow 😂
How does everybody connect on here privately? I don't see an option for DMs or anything?
So if you go to my profile, you can see an envelope on my avatar on the top left. That will allow you to send an email :)
