I have a full time job that I do in the evenings it is 9hours.. Basically every other hour that I am awake has gone into building a Product from scratch for the last couple of months. I made a PBX setup, a billing system, an Android dialer app, the thing. Some weeks I was doing sixteen to eighteen hour days between the job and this project. I lost a lot of sleep chasing bugs that made zero sense at three in the morning like SIP and NAT issues Android build failures because of leftover files messing up the resource merger, database stuff server hardening etc.
Anyway it actually works now. Everything is stable. I am genuinely proud of it honestly I did not think I would get here.
I never really planned past making it work. For like the roughly 1 year I have been paying server costs and domain cost out of my own pocket and I have zero customers. Burning a Hole in my pocket. Building the PBX was the part I thought was gonna be hard but turns out getting someone to actually pay for the hosted PBX is harder.
I am a developer, not a sales guy. I have no audience, no network, no idea how business to business software as a service people normally find their customer when they are starting from literally nothing.
If you were in this spot, with a working Product and zero customers what would you actually do first? Which platform have you used or which can provide better results.
I just cannot keep refining the product and burning a bigger hole in my pocket. I need to start having some payback.
Can someone guide me? who have actually been stuck in this situation and gotten out of it.
