> it's generally good manners to ask someone before you copy their work, yes

This is what I do most of the time, if it's possible, given the environment the service operates in.

I encourage people to learn about it first, and only after that to jump into conclusions.

Good point.

I prefer to do at least something addressing the issue in the ecosystem that does absolutely nothing, though.

And I'm open about it.

First, I accept the responsibility to some degree, and I'm open about it. Second, it's not "a tool for stealing stuff".

I just somewhat dislike people shouting moral slogans, that's all. Especially people that have little understanding of the ecosystem in general. Sorry.

The majority of nomads I've met were nice people and didn't have the master/servant mindset. However, I knew some people who do, though.

As for the term, I don't like it either, but this is how languages work, I guess. There is little we can do at that point.

True.

This is very strong words and you're right. I welcome you to come over and fix this country. And the rest of the developing world, while you at it.

Yes, you're right. But my point was that it's not difficult to address this issue. It's impossible in the Russian market.

That's why I asked you to reread the article (sorry, I should be more precise on the reason).

Exactly. Thanks for the clarification. I should have addressed this issue in the article, though.

You are absolutely right, the entire ecosystem facilitates plagiarism. And I don't mean Postio only, Vk.com and all other Russian social platforms do very little to protect copyrighted content. In fact, they do nothing.

However, even in this ecosystem, I tried to do my best to deal with that issue by paying at least some attention to crediting the authors back by means of watermarks and negotiating the conditions upon which their content is taken.

This is the reason I asked to reread the article. Remember, it's the Russian market, and some things that will apply in the global market, simply don't apply there. Whether it's good or bad is besides the point of this article.

Thanks for the raising the question, it's absolutely legit.

Haha, good point. But I'm sure you will, it's just a matter of time and the number of attempts.

The responces like yours give me immense satisfaction. That's the reason I wrote it.

Thanks a lot.

Yes, it's about networking and the ability to delegate.

I've been struggle with it for years. Felt like if I entrusted some part of work to someone else, they wouldn't give it 100% of their attention. Then I realized that it's true most of the time, but the trick is it they don't have to in order to finish the task.

Kindly read the article.

Thanks! And I think you're absolutely right, people got a bit tired of all this unicorn nonsense.

The difference between them is that it's nouns at the top and verbs in the bottom. But yeah, I think you're right :)

It's too bad that it took me 2 years to learn that one. Oh well, better late than never.

I published the first article about my SaaS webservice here on January 1, and it went viral collecting more than 49000 views, and 920 recs and made it to the biggest Russian startup news publisher where it had additional 24000 views.

I made a Mandarin learning iOS app, and after four months I sold it on Flippa for $3000. In this article, I'm describing my experience and share a lot of numbers.

Sure, thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, it happens sometimes. Each case is different and being able to distinguish which parts really matter is a crucial skill.

I think they are focused on the Russian market and don't have any global expansion plans. It's http://kassa.yandex.ru

If you'll decide to use it, feel free to ask me anything. They're pretty straightforward but has some difficult parts.

Hey, it happens. I believe the solution is being able to separate the signal from the noise and to go full perfectionist on the parts that really matter.

Usually it's not the color of the logo though.

Thank you for reading! You're right, some of the payment gateways I used had a flat rate processing fee in addition to their standard fee. But for this experiment I picked a gateway without any additional costs.

Totally. It's really relieving to have this approach.

This tutorial is about building a small, profitable SaaS webservice from scratch and making it earning $1000 per month. This has nothing to do with multibillion unicorn startups, I’m just describing my experience. It’s about a useful, robust, and profitable tool that anyone can make. And the last point, this webservice has been made for the Russian domestic market, so I’ve translated everything into English and USD for convenience. Otherwise, this experience is pretty general and could be adopted anywhere.
