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.

**NEW** SaaS Homepage Breakdown + Examples
I just added a new training to the classroom on how to create a SaaS home page that turns visitors into trials, pre-sells your product and address objections. You can watch it here ==> https://www.skool.com/leap-6581/classroom/1f33b370?md=8c777f5f04d64609ab26765ddc8b4807 I added a link to some high converting home pages (some converting at 20%) that you can use for your own page. Enjoy :) https://www.skool.com/leap-6581/classroom/1f33b370?md=8c777f5f04d64609ab26765ddc8b4807

Use this to increase your demo show up rate
This is an email template I created for clients to increase their demo show up rate. It works. Don’t take my word for it though, test it for yourself. One reason potential buyers don’t show up to demos is because they don’t know what to expect. They’re afraid of being pitch slapped or sitting through a 2 hour feature by feature tour of your product. So if you give them the plan beforehand, and show them that you’re going to help them solve their present pain, you’ll see your demo show up rate go up to as high as 90%. You can grab the “Demo Pre-sell Template” in the Classroom here: https://www.skool.com/leap-6581/classroom/cc23be79 It’s free - a small thank you for being a member of SV. Just copy and paste and fill in the blanks and set it up to auto deliver after someone books a demo. Bada Bing, bada boom. Comment below with your version and I’ll help you dial it in.
