I wish I was telling a success stories (maybe I'll come back for that in the future), but I'd rather share the honest journey. I'm not here to self-promote (although if I get some clients during the process, I'll be happy) but I kinda need to share the project for context.
So, context: I'm building Merra.ai , a tool (web+mobile) that turns real raw videos (so your camera roll, not AI slop) into vlogs, with script, voiceover, and fully edited video. There's also a batch mode that creates 10 videos at the time. Hooks are optimized for attention. I built this because I had the need in my previous businesses and a lot of companies that I worked with had the need.
I tried a bunch of ways to get clients, DM, content creation (using my own tool), mails, and I tried B2B and B2C, tiktok, instagram, x, linkedin...
The client that I just lost was my first client, he subscribed for 6 months, and eventually churned, because posting more videos wasn't helping him with his business. He was saving time in the production process, but he came to the conclusion that organic content wasn't for him.
Losing my first believer is kinda hard, I start to question the need. Maybe people don't want to create organic content faster, because organic content is too much of a gamble. And people who care about organic content would rather spend time and money on it, they don't need a tool to make it faster ? I don't know.
So yeah, maybe all that is a bump in the road, but yeah, I'm looking for any sort of advice, support, I'm a solo founder, if people resonate with the need and want to try the product, give me feedback, join the team, anything, I'm open.
And if anyone else is going through the same kind of challenge, let's talk and support each other.
