Thanks for sharing the story! I think you made the right decision here 🔥
Thanks for the support, buddy! I think so too :) Keep on building is the best thing there is 💪
glad you did not sell and keep on building in public :)
Awesome buddy ❤🎉
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥2.0 looks sooo goood!
You know it, buddy!
awesome, just a feedback, please remove the fisheye wide lens, its nauseating, will make videos much better to consume. All the best 🎉
Thanks, I love the wide angle, but I guess you refer to me filming my screen with it, I can see how it's not ideal. Will film those scenes without the wide angle :)
is this your home office, or a co working space ?
My office :)
Why not acquire a product in an adjacent space and upsell / bundle?
Yeah a possibility 👌
Can I ask a very weird question? What are the tax rates like in USA? Here in EU the tax is quite high, I assume we would end up giving 50% to government if we sold a business for high price. As a developer I respect that you are starting Upvoty with 2.0, a lot of companies ignore this step and later have to deal with tech debts.
I'm from the EU as well, so yeah, near 50% when I sell as well 🥶
Nice hints on the board behind you : 😆 ‘I’m a PhD’ is like saying ‘I’m a millionaire’-on the internet, you can say whatever you want. It’s all about ‘fake it till you make it,’ or maybe ‘fake it till you burn out trying,’ or perhaps… you’ll actually make it!
Haha good find but it's not actually what it stands for on the board. My wife drawn I 🩶 M on the board. Phd stands below that lol but good catch either way
Thanks for sharing💪🔥
Appreciate it 🙌
What framework/library was the old version of Upvoty built with?
Custom code fully
You are a pathological liar.
I was waiting for this one **grabs popcorn*

You don’t understand how much these videos help me!! I started a template selling business when I was 16 (10 years ago) and have been running it up until now. Hit a low point, low motivation, but your videos help me get motivated again. Thank you! Also plausible is great, so much better than GA4!
Awesome! Let's get it!!
Hey Mike are you learn in your course (build a saas) all things like how can I coding and everything?
You'll learn everything from coming up with a winning idea, how to validate, launch, and scale. I will highlight some options on how to build the SaaS yourself with code or no-code or how to outsource to devs. But I'll not dive too much into the build stage. It's more on how to prep, launch, and market it.
Finally had the opportunity to catch up on the vlog haha loved the trip and looks like you had a lot of fun!
Hey mike, whens the next vlog? :(
Busy building atm, but will definitely return soon :)
love it, super aspirational and love how you are cherishing the whole SaaS Community. The jump from 1.0 to 2.0 is legendary. Let's goooo
Let's gooooo 🙏
Great vlog
Appreciate it 🙌
Hey Mike strive, I love your content and see so much potential! With your subscriber base, I believe more viewers could really appreciate your work. If you’re looking to boost engagement, I’d love to help as a video editor. I have experience creating eye-catching edits that can elevate your videos. Let’s take your channel to the next level together!
Thanks for sharing, Mike!
Yw amigo 🙌
haha dutch trains are a headache!
They really are!!
This is a fun one guys! 🙌
If u put ur mind to it, do u think u can scale to 6 or 7 figures / month while still having 0 employees?
Subscribed. I don't want to miss any of this.
Appreciate it!
Love the new format! Excited for the future of Upvoty, also bring back post-it notes, felt nice when you moved things on those :) The new landing page for SaaS Pirates is just daamnnn good! Let's go
Ooh the good old post it notes for the roadmap?! On it 🫡
@@mikestrives let’s gooo! We will be there
Love the merge & recent updates! Two powerful tools in one. SaaS Pirates bc that mRRRR.... LOL i think that is what you are going for 😅
Appreciate it 🙌
I'm looking forward to hearing more, Mike. The SaaS journey is never smooth or plain-sailing, even when successful, and there are never any easy decisions on the journey.
True that 💪
Finally💪💪🔥
🙌
Did you start out as a designer? It seems like you spend a lot of time on aesthetics, logos, colors, and social media content… Those aren't trivial things... but we'd love to see more focus on people actually building the product.. do you hire freelancers for that ?
Jep! I'm non-technical myself. So I have to focus on marketing, and yes, also design. In these vlogs, I do show what "we've" built (together with my dev team) and how we're working on product management. Hope that's helpful as well :)
The portal looks AMAZING!!! Really good decision to merge the 2 products, totally makes sense. Super excited for the upcoming vlogs!
Thanks! 🤩
Looking forward to hearing more
will follow soon 💪
Really enjoyed this one! 😃
More in-product footage like you did today is good
Appreciate it!
looking forward to learning more about what happened to the product, Mike. Sounds like a cool story haha!
Thanks! It is 😎
it’s giving major Netflix vibes!
Haha, appreciate it!
This is a fun one, guys! Some biiiiig news. Sit back, relax, and sip that mrr! ☕
Amazing, Mike! Cheers from Brazil! 😊
Obrigado o meu amigoooo
Love ittt!!! You need a video editor bro , I can do a sample video 👊🏽
Love your videos Mike but let’s be honest, that landing page is a complete copy of Canny’s landing page. You’ve even copied their brand colours now. Not cool.
Are you for real? It's farrrrr from what I see at Canny tbh.
Start with the headline. They are both 6 words long and you’ve copied 4 of those words. Canny: Build better products with customer feedback Upvoty: Instant feedback to build better products
@@divilburger oh wow! Maybe because we're actually in the same niche? 😂 ps: funny thing, this is a redesign but didn't change anything about that exact headline for years.
Hey Mike , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
i saw on instagram that you have a new pup, Mike! when will he make an appearance? :)
Hahah "she" will definitely make her debut in the next vlog 😉
Sip that MRR 📈💪
You know it! Although it'll be sip that MRRRR soon 😉
Is that camera good for MS Team calls? Looks good quality. What is the brand and model? Cheers.
yeah, I really dig it for both vlogging and as a webcam! DJI Osmo Pocket 3
Let's gooo! Love it, looking forward to SaaS Pirates
Yeah, SaaS Pirates it is! More in next week's vlog 🙌
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Yw! Thanks for commenting 🙏
really love the new upvoty site!
Me too 😍
Nice re-layout of your desk! Not sure how I feel about the "mumble rap" version for the podcast intro although the "sound" was nice, but very impressive what the app is capable of! PS: Are you cooking something for Upvoty? 😏
Yeah happy with it too! Haha we're always cooking 🧑🍳
