My SaaS startup story from Feb 2019 to present and lessons learned!
In 2017 I am watching Tylar Tringas (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tringastyler/) on a random youtube video where he shares his story of building StoreMapper reveneu and makes revenue examples like; it buys me a coffee, it buys me a lunch, it pays my rent, etc. Watch the video it is cool (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3d1asTrWUQ) I kept thinking for a while about this idea of making tiny software and selling it on the internet and many times I talked myself out of building something small. I was always thinking that people will pay once you build something super cool and pixel perfect. I was wrong. 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣ In Feb 2019 I reached out to the SaaS Growth Hacks Facebook group to see if anyone else is interested as you can see in this screenshot, and started building FeedbackHero, my 3rd MicroSaaS. (The first ones were in Pakistan and Afghanistan many years ago and I built them using VB6, VB .NET, ASP .NET and PHP, this can be done in another story) I kept FeedbackHero with me for a very long time and one night on 15th October 2019, I decide to open QuickTime Player and do a screen recording and launch it on ProductHunt without any editing. Here is the launch link (https://www.producthunt.com/products/feedback-hero) but some how still not feeling motiviated about "micro" SaaS. 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣ As a result of this shame on "micro", a "mega" SaaS was born, Zooc. Basically even the logo of FeedbackHero was continued in Zooc. I got into the developer mode and kept building features for a year. In October 2020 we launched it on AppSumo, here is our launch link (https://appsumo.com/products/zooc/) and on the day of our campagin going live, we are bug fixing and fire fighting. No beta testing period. Very bad. To put things in perspective; FeedbackHero full demo took me 1.5 mins and Zooc full demo took me over 60 mins.
