>>2546 I'm going to have to get a part time job for like $400US per month so I can pay rent while I wait for this thing to get the first few clients. And I don't fucking KNOW THE LANGUAGE. I've been learning it, but I've only got a basic grasp in 3 months. >inb4 kneepads I've been running targeted advertising, I've got my site set up, SEO running, Facebook, Twitter, and Google marketing going; product is fully beta. I mean, people seem to be interested, but no fucking buyers. >cost per subscription - $49 per month (it's enterprise software, not client-end)

>>2546 Funny. I was literally just sitting here wishing we had an actual "business owners" thread on biz. Im in small ag. You can call me Red. I grow specialty crops and have a product line. Every piece of equipment is broken on my farm right now. I have negative ten dollars in my bank account. I work 70-80 hour weeks, my missus works a full time job and another 20hrs per week on the farm. This faggot from town had the nerve to ask me for money the other day. He gets disability and doesn't work. He was smoking weed in the phone when he was asking me. Lol I told him I'd give him free food instead because he's skinny as a skeleton and when he showed up today to take the food he didn't even say thank you lol. The missus and I are proper pissed. I'll never answer another one of his phone calls again. I gave him 50 bucks two weeks ago and that was all I had. He comes back asking for more lol. Isn't that interesting though the way you view normies after being as business owner? We exist to serve them. They consume. We squeak by lol.

>>2556 He doesn't even have to pay rent either, he lives in section 8 and only has to pay 175 a month. Mother fucker asking me for money lol. On top of all the other shit we have to deal with as business owners.

>>2557 Oh and the mother fuckers truck was ten years newer than mine l o fucking l

>>2556 You sound like an idiot. You work 80 hours a week and are worse off than a hobo? The fuck are you doing anon?

>>2559 I'm starting a business faggot. You wouldn't know anything about it lol. I own my home. Ten acres, a car, I paid no taxes last year and I don't have to pay property tax. 40% of my business is cash. I have 90k in savings that I treat like it doesn't exist. I havent had to pull from it in a year to fund my business, which means I don't have any money. I fund the business kn business funds and my wife works full time to support the business. You wouldn't know shit about it lol but I'm going to retire in 5 years. I'm basically retired now because I love what I do and it doesn't feel like work. You sound like a faggot.

sounds difficult. every day im more and more convinced that working is the losers way of making money and various leveraged investment systems are the only way to really make it

>>2556 well maybe you learned now that once you give these a little you have a permanent problem. of course a bum will try again on that one fool that already gave him stuff

>>2546 >nobody reaching out you need to reach out. don't know what industry you're making the software for but you need to start calling people and mailing flyers to businesses

>>2608 this dud is right. you need to network OP. Be a traveling salesman, go to conferences, cold call, cold reach out, run local AI agents to reach out etc. Be on twatter, be on reddit. There are starters like you on reddit who build their entire paid pipelines from these two channels. Also anything you post on reddit goes to openAI chatGPT search, because these two are in bed together, and anything you post on twitter goes to grok for obvious reasons. Make sure you are a top answer in perplexity, chatGPT, google AIO, grok etc. use E-E-A-T language. Ads for SaaS is absolute boomer way, nobody even uses search anymore. t. know a thing or two on getting customers on paid SaaS and how difficult it is. ads never pay off. never.

>>2639 >ads never pay off. never. And yet it is one of the biggest and always growing markets around. Is it just because ads are run by salesmen that know how to sell their shitty ads systems to dumb people?

>>2714 the working ads are far beyond the budget of a small business. corpos spend millions on this shit so it can work. they get famous celebrities to shill their shit etc and that shit does work. npc simps see taylor swift with product? suddenly millions of people want it too.

>>2590 You're a cool bro. I'm not giving that little beggar anything ever again.
