Crossed 1000 users in 6 weeks
by HaKrWhen I first decided to build simpleops.io, I set a goal of getting 10K users. Six weeks into it I have completed 10% of that goal. Yay! 😎
From what I gather from my fellow indie makers is that SaaS is hard.
Relativel difficulty in building different types of product
EBooks < Course < B2C < B2B
I'm completely new to B2B market, even though the market is small, its a niche and has huge potential.
Hopefully i will reach the 5K milestone soon!

Hi great achievement, @1hakr. I am also working on similar idea, but unable to gather any traction whatsoever. Can you give some feedback. ?

Your webpage is much duller compared to OPs. Just copy his style and approach. I suspect OP is also good at marketing and writing.

Thanks for the feedback. I will improve it. OP I have a vague feeling is inflating numbers.

How are you trying to sell it? Also, why don't you mention your pricing on the landing page? that way visitors will get a sound idea of what it will be costing them like.

Thanks for the feedback @aminmemon . I will add pricing. Didn't add till now as I haven't been able to generate any interest. I am still questioning the
desirabilityof my product.

It seems like I'm seeing tons of these style of saas businesses pop up. Do you think the market is saturated?

That is an awesome number! Congrats, having two hits like Visa List and this one in a row is really uncommon, I'm impressed.
But I don't agree with your difficulty scale.
Imho, B2C is way harder than B2B mainly because:
- B2C products are hard to monetize, people are so used to free product that it's hard to make them pay
- Paid acquisition is almost impossible if you're not venture-backed
- Most of B2C products are <10$ per account, which mean that to just reach $3k MRR you'd need 300 customers and all the support that goes with it.
Also, I think focusing on the user number could be a bad idea.
In the end, you want customers, not users, and focusing on the latter can make you take bad decisions. Been there, done that 🙈
