Bootstrapping SaaS

Business EN ↓ 80 episodes

Bootstrapping SaaS is a podcast where I document my attempts at getting to $10K in MRR with my SaaS products as a one-man show: designer, developer, marketer. I talk about recent updates with my SaaS', conundrums, lessons, successful outcomes, and a few personal things here and there. Once in a while, I bring in a guest and we talk. The show is roughly prepared with bullet points, but mostly a free rain of thoughts with whatever is going on that week. The first 40 episodes have been mostly about Claritask up until I exited: https://bootstrapping-saas.transistor.fm/episodes/claritask-soldStarti...

A conundrum 🤔 23.02.2024

Weighing the pros and cons of either keeping blogstatic as is and making it the best possible product at blogging OR going down the monetization route where there's more financial opportunity, but a new can of worms and a departure from the initial idea (rebrand/reposition). The big question: Are these limiting beliefs that are not allowing me to grow?
