building some things @ | scaling 100k to 1M MRR

[Jay @jscnjay]

Starting today I'll be documenting my journey scaling from $100k MRR -> $1M MRR.

2 years building in silence.

What’s next?

More Organic UGC
Scale Ads (10k-100k/month)
Viral loops (150m views)

I had such a great time there a decade ago before it was cool to visit.

[@levelsio @levelsio]

I'd say China is one of the highest value countries to travel too now

Really really really cheap, and the hotels you stay are all new and luxurious, while the food is also cheap and great

Just a very unique level of value there now you don't find anywhere else in the world

I swear to my mom I'm not some paid China shill, I just loved my trips there and it's great value

[Jay @jscnjay]

While this is a new account, I am not new. Just look at the first people who followed me. There are levels to this. Hehe.

@esl0p_ Same

[Jay @jscnjay]

If there’s anyone building anything cool out there we should connect. Being an indie builder is hard sometimes.

[Jay @jscnjay]

There will be signs.

@esl0p_ Solid what niche?

[Jay @jscnjay]

@mixedharddrugs So obnoxious lol

[Jay @jscnjay]

Please for the love, I do not want your saas or tool or whatever. I want to connect with real people building things, stop trying to sell me, I am not your target customer I promise.

I still see basically nobody building traditional businesses and just using the tools and ai to make them better faster stronger etc. Such a blue ocean of things to start.

Consumer apps and b2b saas is just the tip of what can be done. And no I don’t mean agencies, think bigger than that.

[Jay @jscnjay]

@synopsi No problem. Will be curious to see how it works.

[Jay @jscnjay]

You didn’t ask but the covers should show one of the items blurred out, can test which to see what works better. And delay the final reveal comparison u til last slide or last 2 seconds of the reel.

[Rasty Turek @synopsi]

My first foray into social media posting is all over the place.

It’s a highly specific format. YouTube shorts surprisingly work the best (expected it to be TikTok honestly).

The first thing I have learned already, these need much more experimenting and testing.

Unpopular opinion:

building anything and getting real paying users is hard

[Vadim @VadimStrizheus]

unpopular opinion:

building a B2C app is harder than a B2B SaaS

[Jay @jscnjay]

@erbybody @synopsi Confirm this as well. Low activation audience UNLESS it’s a large personal brand account.

[Jay @jscnjay]

@JitendraKohar34 Ty! Been a grind

[Jay @jscnjay]

@tahabahrami Good board

[Jay @jscnjay]

@itseduvieira Got you

[Jay @jscnjay]

@mixedharddrugs Way further along than most!

[Jay @jscnjay]

@maxzrco Sometimes I just keep testing campaigns and add more budget when they are over performing because the scaling ones are really hard to get spend on new ads.

[Jay @jscnjay]

Most of the world is asleep but here we are shipping anyways. I see you.
