Hey guys.

I’m working on a platform where you can launch your SaaS in minutes. Developers have started using tons of different services like Vercel, Xano, Supabase, Mailgun etc. so why not replace them with a single service? You can now launch equivalent services on your private AWS account, without knowing how to use AWS in the first place.

What do you gain by doing this?

- one click app deployment - no lock in, cancel subscription and keep using your apps and data - no limits or additional charges for build times or data usage

Started charging in August, reached $1.7K in revenue today.

Let me know what you guys think and which features you want to see next.

The trick is to talk to the right groups of people about the things they’re interested in.

For example, I’m building a No Code platform. This could be interesting to many people, but for different reasons, so you have to tailor your approach based on the group you’re talking to. In my case, developers will react positively to approach where I mention the tech I used to build the project. Bloggers on the other hand will be interested if I present my app as something that lets them start a custom blog in seconds rather than days.

In SEO and digital marketing circles, you go and mention how’s your experience with getting customers. Next most important thing is to find these interest groups. For example if you don’t have millions of friends on Facebook, don’t even bother posting on your wall feed. Rather find groups which have users who are interested in certain topics, tailor your approach based on that group’s interest and post there.

Also, make sure to choose as many hashtags as possible and Google which tags are most popular for the topic that you’re writing about. Then just include those in your posts. For example on Instagram, almost all of my traffic is from hashtags.

That pretty much sums it up.

Decided to commit to social media lead generation for just 2 days and spend $0 on ads. This is what happens when you go all out on Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc. and then get 1000+ views and 70 signups!

Hey Zeni. That's actually something I was looking into myself as well. I would have been happy to receive free credits for AWS but I assumed I would need to own a company in order to qualify for that. I on the other hand literally just sat down and started working. In any case, thanks for the feedback and if you have any other ideas, feel free to let me know.
