Basic Assumptions of Micro-Sass New Business Startups in Simplesaas

Basic Assumptions of Micro-Sass New Business Startups in Simplesaas

 

1. I am not any smarter or a better programmer than the average SaaS startup founder

2. The majority of what I am going to build will fail despite my best efforts

3. I will watch my analytics for traffic and will aggressively develop apps that show “proof of life”

4. Each app will be better than the last one I made

5. 1 app per day at least 5 days per week

6. Search engines will not show any new domain for 90-180 days in search results :-(

7. Even a Blind Squirrel will find a nut eventually

 

I am so deep in the process now I am not sure if I should keep going or just quit and start running Aisle 7 at Lowes. This is mentally and physically exhausting. Every app I build takes somewhere between 4 and 8 hours to register, launch, customize, test, and submit to Google Search , Simplesaas listing directory, G2 ext. Every. Single. Day. So far about $30 in sales, 1 trial subscription, and abysmal search engine results as everything is still in the search engine indexing period for at least another month.

 

This was all expected. This is completely normal, it also sucks so terribly bad. I still have another 60 days of this or so. Then whatever new issue that arises.

 

I have launched 54 new businesses, another 10 or so built and then stopped for one reason or another.

 

Problems that came up that I didn’t know was going to be a problem.

 

Analytics has become a near constant pain. I do not have a good idea of who is coming to the apps or from where. I have lots of tracking but nothing is consolidated. I am still working on this.

 

Error reporting. This also ties into customer service, bug-reporting and app updates. As I am spread so thin between so many applications I will have to develop a centralized reporting mechanism for all the apps that can easily be read by an AI agent. There just any other efficient way to do it. Ideally, I would have that agent have access to the github repo where it could scan the code and offer usage feedback or identiy the bug and suggested bug-ix for the codebase either in an email or directly in the repo. Im not sure how I am going to do it yet.

 

Here it is Saturday afternoon. Ive already been at it 8 hours today. This is tiring and wildly boring. Hopefully things will be different by the end of next month ( around app #100)

 

Time will tell.
