Good news! This week we made a tiny profit!

Spent on Google Ads: 22 usd
API costs: 5.65 usd

Revenue: 37 usd

Profit: 9 usd

ROI: 34% (including API costs)

In the last 4 weeks ROI went
-94% -> -79% -> -76% -> +34%

Marketing is still a challenge but in a different way. We optimized the google ads campaign so aggressively that Google Ads is not able to find enough clicks for the daily budget.

With the daily budget of 65 eur Google spends no more than just 5 eur per day.

So for the last week we've been working on the mobile app version and SEO.

I'll continue publishing updates if you follow and like - this way I'll know somebody is interested .

https://t.co/DfU7SWU9i8 weekly update #3

Spent on Google Ads: 83 usd

Income: 28.27 usd

ROI: -76% (including api costs), 3% better than the last week

We spent much less on google ads than the last week because we optimized the campaign.

On average we spent 18.22 usd per payment action. But it's less than 10 usd on a good day.

To make profit we need less than 2 usd per payment action in google search. Claude says it's very unlikely we hit that. So we will focus on other distribution methods.

The best SaaS ideas often stem from the simplest problems.

[ildar @ildar_bytes]

Building in public means sharing every step of the journey, even the rough ones.

[ildar @ildar_bytes]

The best part of building a SaaS?

[ildar @ildar_bytes]

SEO is dying
SaaS is dying
UI/UX is dying
Backend is dying
Frontend is dying
Freelancing is dying
Remote jobs are fading
Entry-level hiring is collapsing
Web dev is fading

What’s not dying: people who adapt fast

Every startup begins as a mess.

[ildar @ildar_bytes]

$1,000,000 startup idea:

A tool that tells you why people leave your landing page.

Not dashboards.
Not charts.

Just clear reasons in plain English.

[ildar @ildar_bytes]

Great marketing begins the moment you get a new idea.

Waiting until the code is complete?
You're already playing catch-up.
