Go check out and consider starting a free trial if you think it'll help your biz :) If not, lets start a thread: Ask me anything about how to get started with your saas journey

Mr. M'2 years ago

That's amazing, I also have a great idea for a SaaS, but I'm still stuck with the building part. How much capital is required to get it up and running?

Sebastian2 years ago

@88MSN8 $100-500 for the tools to build/host it, just use organic marketing, like youtube and tiktok

Wanna see how i market my apps:

Josh2 years ago

Any advice for marketing? You’ve obviously got some experience there, if you didn’t have any, what steps would you take to try and get to where you are now? My weakest area is marketing.

pun life2 years ago

Very inspiring Sebastian. I think UI and onboarding funnel is the key to make people signup.

Sebastian2 years ago

yeah, im actually working on using ChatIQ to help with that, show people how to signup, make an account, use the app etc - but visually.

“I know it was a regular season game, but for me, I played as if it was the Superbowl. To have my family there, to be able to honor my wife in this way, it will go down as one of the most memorable days of my life.” — Sean Mackin

I changed my TED Talk in less than 12 hours because God would not let me stay silent. There was a part of my life I was meant to share. Not my beginning, but the season where survival and purpose met. The moment I was given 21 days to live and learned that I was still here not by accident, that God had kept me in this world, and the purpose he had for me will not let me leave. That season did not just save my life. It taught me how to see. How to live. How to always begin with the end in mind. If you would like to watch the full talk when it drops, comment YES and I will share it with you. #TolaniAlli #Storyteller #TheHat #TedexAbuja

“I taught 'em 'bout fishscale, they want me to fish for them, They want me to catch, clean, then cook up a dish for them, All of this just for them or they got a diss for him, They want me to disappear like it's gon' shift for them, They say that I'm in the way, they want me to sit for them, But what they admitting is they ain't got shit for him, And really the fact is, we not in the same bracket? Not in the same league, don't shoot at the same baskets, Don't pay the same taxes, hang with the same bitches, So how am I in the way, what is it I'm missing?”

Chamath's $420M debt story: “If I ever do that again, punch me in the face.” Chamath: “ I've been in debt. I've had a $420M credit line. And I had a moment where it was reflexively kind of collapsing inward because the assets that I was using to secure it shrank in value in a moment of market disruption. I was scrambling, and then at the same time, there was a risk, it was the worst moment of my professional working life. I had a couple hundred million dollars sitting at Credit Suisse and they were about to implode, and so on a weekend I was trying to figure out whether my money was still there. I had always had this rule, don't have debt, and then I violated it to try to run the number up. I almost got run over. I almost lost everything. I will never do it again, and if I ever do it again, if you guys ever hear me do it again, please just come and punch me in the face. Jason: “We will. We've been waiting for an excuse.” Friedberg: “Can we punch you in the face for other things too?” Chamath: “Yeah, absolutely.” Sacks: “This is how smart guys go bankrupt, they take on debt.”

I’ll end with this, If this is the last time I get to ever see Kanye live for the next 10 years.. possibly longer. This felt like a solid goodbye to a part of me that grew up with Kanye at every step of the way, every important stepping stone moment of my life, I always had Kanyes music to help me through it. Some heartbreaking, dark and beautiful times. I never cried at a concert before in my life but I did last night because I was able to recognize that in the moment. It’ll never feel the same the older I get and I’ll never be this young again. ye

My mom is there for every step of my growth — #srchafreen‌ #MyMomMyMatexFreen #CentralPattana 🌷: Actually, for me, success means… I feel I achieve success every single day, and my mom is there in each one of those days. She’s a part of even the smallest successes. Whether it’s a big project or something I’d call “global” or truly significant in my life, my mom is there for every step of my growth. Since I was a kid, even if it was just getting to sing on stage or something like that, my mom would already be so happy. And through middle school, high school, and university, every step of my growth, I’ve always had my mom by my side. Even during the times when we weren’t together or didn’t live in the same house during my teenage years, she was still always with me. Like, she would text me saying things like, “I believe you can do anything” — “Keep going” — “I’m rooting for you”, something like this. And that’s been one of the driving forces that makes me feel that no matter what happens, my mom will always be by my side.

I’m trying to compute the last couple days and honestly I’m absolutely fucking shattered. You have been my North Star for everything for as long as I can remember from when I was misunderstood as a child to the way people thought I was just a little “too much” or “strange” in my life and career. I owe so much to you, your wife and your family - you all gave me a road to run down and supported me when people would turn their nose up. You loved life so much and you adored music. It was your smile man. You taught me it was beautiful to be out of the box. I promise you with all my heart I will try my best and make it my life’s journey to keep the sprit that you started and what you have taught me alive. I will give it my best shot. To sing this song for you at an event surrounded by legends inspired by you to a crowd that loved you was truly my life’s greatest honour and I vow to play this song every night for the rest of my life. You’re my hero in every regard. I hope you’re up there avin a drink with Randy. For the prince of darkness you sure brought all the light to the world. I love you Ozzy.

So surprise mum this one is for you! Happy 60th! “Yeah my mama got that heart, she said don't let go of the parts that keep you younger…”

Malcolm Wellmaker has an amazing story. What a journey it has been for him. 👏 "Crazy story, but in April before my Contender Series fight, I had this F-250 I bought. It got repossessed cause I was going broke. I couldn't keep up with the bills I had. It was tough, man. A lot of times it got dark. I didn't know if it would be worth it. I didn't know if I would ever make it to the UFC or even if I'd have success in the UFC."

#KimWooBin talked about how he endured the nasopharyngeal cancer back then in 2017 (completely cancer-free in 2019) “It was like in the drama, when the hospital said it'll be 6 months at the shortest (to live), I was so surprised and scared and wished it was a dream. But I never once thought, 'What if I can't overcome this?'. Of course, I didn't think about it right away, but I treated it and pulled myself together with the thought, 'This is an opportunity.' I've been busy for over 10 years since my debut, so I thought, 'Maybe heaven gave me this time to look back on myself and spend time with my family. I met my loved ones. My body was in pain due to the treatment. Many people cheered on me and prayed for me simply because my face is known. I believe that power is real.” ⛓️‍💥

In 2009, after two back surgeries, my doctors told me I would never walk again without the assistance of a cane or walker. I gave up. l wrote out my suicide note and was ready to end it all. But, in that moment, my three-year-old son Matthew walked into my bedroom and saved my life. I truly believe it was an intervention from God. After that moment, I cried out to God and told him that if he showed me the way, I would put in the hard work to dig myself out of that bed and dig my family out of poverty. My mindset changed. I used to see myself as a victim. I would ask myself "Why me?" After that moment, I started to tell myself "Why not me?" I worked hard to overcome the obstacles I faced in my life and I will work even harder to become the first black Republican elected to Congress in the history of Ohio.

In 1979, I was so broke that I had to borrow $4,000 from my Dad to help take care of my family. I had calculated that American banks had lent much more money to foreign countries than they would be able to pay back, and anticipated an imminent debt crisis. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. I didn’t fully understand the impacts of quantitative easing, and so I lost money for myself and I lost money for my clients. Looking back, it was the most painful experience I could imagine — but it was also the best thing that ever happened to me, because it taught me humility.
