the only real product validation which matters is money moving not likes not "nice idea" not signups or visitors build something, make a clear funnel and see what it takes for them to pay. thats real validation everything else is noise

Built this entire SaaS by myself. Now thousands of customers use it every day. Full autopilot SEO engine: article generation, publishing, backlink building, keyword research, and much more. And it's still just year 1 for this project!

I just got approved by Apple SMB. It took me 2 weeks to get approved. Now I will pay 15% instead of 30% to Apple. It's still not perfect as it's not 0%, but a good start! ๐Ÿ˜‚

I filmed my vibe-coding journey from $0 โ†’ $60,000+/month From doubts and struggles to happy moments. I started filming it in December 2024. A lot of raw thoughts, no filters. Should I do it as a single long video or five separate videos?

I just learned that you can slice your iOS app fees in half. Instead of paying Apple 30%, you can pay only 15% by filling out one form. They default you to the 30% rate (and you're a few clicks away from -15%) ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm mad and happy at the same time.

I tried and failed at way too many things. Everything up until now seemed like a tutorial. I've stacked my knowledge, skills, and leveled up. Now it finally feels like I started to play the full game. And I'm going for that platinum.

10 years ago, my European mind could not comprehend how beautiful the world outside is. You can just build things, sell them worldwide, and travel the world. If I can do it, everyone can do it.

My vibe coded app reached $600!. I launched it few days ago without knowing how to code or scale this type of business. You can do anything, just believe in yourself more!

My vibe coded app grew by +$23,000/month MRR this month. ๐Ÿคฏ It was my first-ever SaaS that I built without knowing how to code. Vibe coding literally changed my life. It gave me the missing piece that I always needed. If I can do it, you can do it too, go get it!

Time to turn on the money printing machine. Wirth new $712/month agency plan. What's funny is that I still feel like I'm the one being robbed here with that offer. AI product costs are no joke, but need to scale faster.

My app just hit its first $1,000/day! It's hard to believe that just a year ago, I was selling Notion templates, and now I'm coding my own apps. It feels like coding was the missing piece I needed. From here, I think things will only get more crazy!

My first vibe coded Saas metrics: ๐ŸŸข MRR - record high. ๐ŸŸข Trial count - record high. ๐ŸŸข Conversion rate - record high. ๐ŸŸข Churn rate - record low. Yet, I still have hundreds of ideas on how to make it better and feel like I barely started. I think I'm onto something.

Use your money to: - Make more money (invest) - Learn new things (invest) - Feel and look better (invest) Use your time to: - Make more money (invest) - Learn new things (invest) - Feel and look better (invest) Invest your money and time. Watch how fast things compound.

Internet lied to you. Lots of people say "Jack of all trades, master of none." But do you actually know the full saying? It's actually "Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than master of one." Which means - you should be a jack of all trades.

I sold services (reached $10k/month) I sold templates (reached $35k/month) I sold courses (reached $100k/month) I sold web app (reached $๐Ÿคซk /month) Now it's time to sell mobile apps. Goal? Reach +$100k/month or keep trying.

I would rather earn $300 a month than sit in a 9-to-5 corporate job, waiting for something to happen in my life. Generational wealth starts when someone is willing to break the cycle. Break it with risks, new ideas, and bold decisions. Not with corporate lottery tickets.

Every "later" eventually turns into "too late." - Trends fade away - Markets become oversaturated - Unique ideas feel less unique Don't make yourself regret not doing something when you had the chance.

One-time payments are super easy. Subscriptions are harder but more fun! You can literally do things and see your MRR increase. One day, everything is in chaos, the next day, everything is super calm. It's such a different game! More stressful though! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Iโ€™m addicted to building digital product businesses. No meetings, no calls, no employees. โ€ข Me and my laptop every day โ€ข The ability to be anywhere in the world โ€ข Learning something new every day I wouldn't change this for anything.

Will we all just build and ship things until we get old? Or will there literally be a point in life where we sell everything and say, "That's it"? Not sure which part is scarier. Building until I get old or stopping building because I get old.

So crazy to see such MRR increase now. I literally spent my entire soul on the product I built. Now, finally, everything is paying off. And this is just the first product I ever built with code myself! Whoever reads this, keep going forward!

My first SaaS is growing!!! ๐Ÿš€ And I barely even started to market it ๐Ÿ™ˆ I launched it as a scared guy who didn't know how to code and fix broken things. Now I have a product and knowledge that allows me to manage and scale to infinity! No idea where this will take me, but im rdy for this! ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿš€๐ŸŒ•

I just recorded new RankPill intro video. Kinda miss making videos, to be honest. I should probably go all in on YouTube - video is so much easier for me. Even if my native language is not English. I can also expand as much as I need, as I often feel super limited with posts.

It's getting crazy how much easier it is to design with Cursor than with Figma. I literally just prompt what I need until I get it. No images, all UI elements which also makes it easier to make changes later on (instead of going to Figma and redesigning and uploading again).

There is no shame in sharing your ideas. There is no shame in building your businesses. There is no shame in sharing your products. There is no shame in promoting your offers. There is only shame for missed opportunities.
