0-$500 MRR in 7 days

We just hit $500 7 days after launching a new SaaS we only started building 30 days ago...

Here's how 👇

1️⃣ Understand

If you haven’t spent time with the people that you are solving a problem for, you may as well not try.

I’ve built products before without this deep understanding and the process was agonizing.

Fortunately, at Fame, we face this problem every day: how do you create engaging and valuable written summaries of podcasts?

We knew if we did this, we would build something people want.

2️⃣ Build

I can’t comment much here, fortunately, I run a business with a SaaS veteran Neil… his attention to detail and development prowess conjured up a tool in 30 days that far exceeded what I thought was possible.

That said, we did have tight feedback loops, with myself and the Fame team testing at each stage.

Fortunately, we made something great with an MVP, customer feedback here:

3️⃣ Influence

OK you’ve built something people want, now we need to use something called “marketing” to speed up how fast people find your thing.

Sometimes less is more: Abney doesn’t have a logo, website or social profile yet. The only way to get access is by someone in the team sending you the link.

This secrecy seems to be working in our favour: close to 300 users added since Friday. We leveraged the LinkedIn algorithm and social proof to get the majority of these, will link to that post in the first comment 👇

Hope that helps!

Comment below with any questions... also happy to get anyone onto the freemium plan if they would like... no public website yet 🤓
