I just deleted my Stripe account.
Why ?
Because I realized I pay them 2k€ every month and they buy NOTHING from me.
not. a. single. subscription.
That's over 24k€ of Annual Reccuring Deficit (ARD)
Not good 👐

I have been trying to reach out to Facebooks groups of potential users but admins either respond or tell me straight away they do not want to affiliate
I thinks it's because they are afraid of scams...which are very present in several marketplaces
I am considering paying them to listen 😅

6m ago, I launched a Discourse site to build a community of users using the marketplace my SaaS is built on
Now I have 22k pages viewed per m (1/4 connected accounts, 3/4 outside visitors)
I have no idea how valuable 22k is...
Is it a lot ? Very little? How could I compare it ?
Please help 😅

One interesting difference btw FR and US is the "personal space" thing
My 7 yo likes hugging or poking other kids in a playful way (not hurting them)
In FR neither kids nor teachers would mind
Here in the US, we had to teach him not to do it. Other kids feel attacked if done without consent 😅

I am thinking about starting a blog for my product
Any recommandation of a SIMPLE tool that is :
- already optimized for SEO
- easy to plug into a blog.mysaas.com address
- easy to use
- ideally has multi-language built in ?

You should not leave Twitter ESPECIALLY if you want BlueSky to win.
Why ?
If you have a following on Twitter, stay a bit active and, once in a while, mention Bluesky
That's how you will keep bringing people here
If you leave, you lose that

Unsolicited parenting advice :
Do not give anything with ADDED sugar to your kid before 3 y.o.
This is when their tasting and eating habits form. They do not need it and if not given any, won't ask for it
In France this habit is growing but here in the US, noone gives a F*** it's crazy 😅

unsollicited parental advice :
Stop caring about your kids' clothes and let them dirty them
We're back from 3 days in the national parks and my 3 sons had a blast running, climbing and hiding everywhere 😅
Their clothes are now 10% coton, 90% soil/water/sequoia resin but who cares ?

You suck at marketing?
- Film a few short tutorial videos (5-10min max) focused on ONE functionality of your SaaS
- Title : solve {painpoint} with {your Saas}
- Post on Youtube
=> Useful for your user documentation
=> Attracts user searching for solution
YT content is evergreen (unlike X or Bsky)

I'm on a 1 week vacation with the family (first Thanksgiving in the US)
Hiring a freelancer to do customer support allows me to do this. Such a big upgrade on my quality of life !
I pay him around 2k€ per month but the peace of mind it brings is so worth it.
Would recommend once MRR is at 15-20k€
