i feel you brother.

I'm on a worse situation, wife has disabilities, father has cancer, I have glaucoma and dual labrum tear. My job is at risk and I've been building apps and SaaS tools for a year and couldn't make any money.

i CAN'T even post my new tool here. my x account got suspended; my comments got permanently banned on Reddit. my posts got removed from Reddit.

I feel you, brother.

Sorry to hear that. I feel for you. Getting an SaaS off the ground is hard and there's no guarantee that it will work. I know nothing is ever that easy and circumstances are complex, but my advice would be not to focus on the SaaS. Not that you should abandon it, but it should probably not be your only hope. You can't force an SaaS to work out. Focus on your mental health and the relationship with your family. Focus on job search. Continue with your SaaS but limit the time and money you invest.

I know its never as easy as just do this, this and that and everything will work out fine. I wish you the best.

Feeling sorry for you and hope things will get easier on the financial side. My advice would be first find any job which pays you, so that you can cover your family expenses. 1 month for a SaaS is toooo little time.

My first SaaS took actually 28 months before i get a first subscription of 18 USD/month. You need to keep working on the SaaS on the side. Do not stop it if you believe it is geniuenly good and there is market for it. Build SEO, GEO profile, do outreach like send 10 emails everyday post content on relevent communities and in around 6-8 months once you have planted enough seeds you will start to see a steady flow of traffic and eventual conversion, but this is too much you need to know, seo, geo, growth hacking, outreach, content etc, see what sticks and then narrow on that.

I was listening to this https://www.pmf.show/blog/solidroad-product-market-fit-cold-... maybe worth a listen. But bro I really wish you good luck, do not loose hope, find some work, keep working on your side projects. I am also an immigrant from a third world country to Denmark and I know, life is hell if you are not able to afford finances for your family. Best of Luck!

There's an uncomfortable truth about SaaS, especially about B2B. It takes enormous resources and time to lift a SaaS.

Unfortunately, the internet is full of all sorts of growth strategies and gurus saying it's feasible, but in reality it's nearly impossible. And when I talk about time, I mean 2-3 years for B2C and easily 5+ for B2B on organic growth.

Moreover, the current spread of LLMs is only making things worse, compared to if you'd started before COVID. People are overheated with SaaS, it's not fun anymore, and everything is considered a privacy or security threat. All of this only lengthens the path to customers.

I don't want to give any advice on what to do, but based on my nearly 20 years of experience in web entrepreneurship, income from B2B SaaS is not something you can count on in the early years.

I’d suggest getting a job, any job and Especially a part time one

Will stop you getting depressed as you will be active and socialising.

How long have you been selling the SAAS?

It would help immensely if you posted your website so we could look at your product and marketing.

Working on SEO is a lot of work and it can take six months to see results but it has always been the bootstrappers friend. If you have the time now this might be a good use for it. AI is fine for doing research for articles but you are far better off writing them yourself. If you want what you write to look more professional take a look at lex.page. Had a friend use it and he said it was like having a good copywriter looking over my shoulder.
