Thought I’d Be Changing the World… Ended Up Learning SEO Instead 😂
Before starting, everything looked fancy and exciting ✨. I dreamed of the product I would build for humankind and how I would serve them. That moment, I saw Marc Lou and got the concept of micro SaaS. But before that, all I wanted was to build the next big thing that would change everything, make me a millionaire, and turn me into a role model 😅. That was the fancy dream I used to dream.
I've tried many products but didn’t complete them (they were all ‘next big thing’ projects 😂). But I have confidence and believe in myself that someday, I’ll build something. From Entrepreneur to SaaS, then SaaS to micro SaaS—this is how my niche got more specific, and I realized it’s easier to build micro SaaS, get feedback, and improve 🛠️.
So, I got an instant idea 💡 and, without thinking too much, I built the site (projectpulse.codebyapi.live). At that moment, I didn’t have enough money to buy a separate domain to launch the site, so I added this project to my subdomain (thanks to my student account 😅).
After launch, I entered the world of the unknown: no visitors, no sign-ups. I faced new challenges—SEO, marketing, launching, and more. Before this, all I knew was how to code! 💻
But I was prepared for something like this. I knew the road wouldn’t be easy, and I know that someday, I’ll overcome this.
What’s your story?
Same here! I launched my first product 3 years ago and learned the hard truth about customer acquisition. Just launching on the web doesn't mean people will find your product.
Yep! I see that a lot with new businesses. And then when you start getting into the weeds of it, you realize that you don't just need customers. You need to attract the right type of customer who needs what you're selling. That's why whenever I see a friend looking to launch a website or an online business, I always tell them to read up on SEO and digital marketing first. It helps a lot to have that on your mind from the start, rather than trying to put a strategy together after the business launches.
