Hi HN,

I've bootstrapped my SaaS tool Influence Grid (https://www.influencegrid.com) since December 2019. It's a TikTok influencer search engine used by marketing agencies, consumer brands etc.

I'm looking to sell and thought this doc might be interesting to other HN folk as it goes into how I've built and grown the project, and why I'm selling.

Any questions or offers, let me know! andy@influencegrid.com

How many hours per week have you personally had to put into sales, management, and support? $2500/mo would look great if the answer is “barely any”, less so if the answer is “basically a full time job”. Where are you on that spectrum?

Support is an hour or two a week.

Sales and management has varied a lot as I’ve got more and less interested in the project, but a few hours a week.

I’ve been working full time somewhere else whilst building this.

As with any side project it’s been as much about learning (SEO, marketing, customer development) as the financial returns!
