So many fake posts on here, so I’ve attached the TrustMRR link in the comments
feel free to verify it yourself.
This is my second SaaS. My first one, FrameNet AI, did over $10K in total revenue, and I learned a lot from it
mostly what NOT to do. This time, I approached things differently.
Before launching, I started posting small glimpses of what I was building on r/sideproject short clips showing the actual output. That alone brought in a bunch of DMs and signups before I even had a launch date.
Launch day - I didn’t do a huge announcement blast. I personally messaged every single person who had signed up or DM’d me. One by one. Sent emails too. From that alone, I got 2 major sales one yearly plan and one monthly.
After that, I created a proper demo video showing the full output quality and posted it on r/SideProject again. That brought in 2 more sales. Then more started coming from different places one from Twitter, one through a friend’s referral, and one from posting on a competitor’s subreddit as an alternative.
The most surprising part: I have 3 pricing tiers, and almost everyone went straight for the $35/month mid-tier plan instead of the cheapest one. One person even upgraded to the $75/month plan after trying it.
The best thing that happened was one user who got so impressed with the output that he started sharing it with his team. Then his team started using it too. He basically became our internal marketer inside his company without me even asking. That one person’s word-of-mouth has been worth more than any post I’ve made so far. (Currently waiting on a potential B2B deal.)
What I built: DistilBook
It takes your documents and turns them into actual animated explainer videos . It works exceptionally well with technical material.
So far, people are using it for:
What I’m doing now: cold emails, Twitter posting, and Reddit marketing. Let’s see how it goes.
