    Love the honesty. It's definitely not a linear journey to a running a profitable business that hits your goals.
    Thanks for sharing!

    Brian, your content is simply amazing, everything is so well-organized in the way you present it. You don't get the feeling of getting into a sales pitch.

    Good video, brother. The biggest struggle I have experienced is hiring good quality people for my SaaS.

    Amazing content, this is the kind of stuff that Jeff Walker talks about. It’s known as the Product Launch Formula(PLF). He also has written a book about it. Thank you Brian, I have been following you for a while now, and you have been very helpful in my online businesses.

    Amazing video, It's funny how I was thinking the other day to find a tool to search what people are actually interested in so I can try to find a SAAS product I can build. I'm a software engineer trying to make a successfull SAAS but it's really hard to find the right idea.

    Thanks, Brian, really valuable. The branded newsletter is great, I think for ET, you had the trends to share, might be trickier for a SaaS that doesn’t have data readily available like that. And, SEO ftw.

    Brian, I love what you're doing, and wasn't thinking of going to market free. I'm building an high-powered software which digitally prevents recruiting ghosting, and integrates with any of their CRM’s which connects all of the behind-the-scenes software in a cohesive manner. With AI, it becomes the much-needed co-pilot so to increase/ improve Brand recognition and speed up the time-to-hire from an average of 68 to 28 days. More importantly, it garners accountability from the hiring manager, 51% of whom are disengaged. Its what's needed to complete the recruiting and hiring circle in a uniform, transparent, honest, and predictive manner. It's two products so far, and its been me and a full-stack developer/ student. I wonder how it would work within your wonderful ecosystem?

    Good job on intertwining substance with the sales pitch.

    • @ArtisZ
      @ArtisZ ปีที่แล้ว

      @BrianDean0 I'm confused though on the fact you would reply "Yo" to a lot of entries in your comment section. I don't think it's something that changes how TH-cam perceives your video nor does it get engagement. So, why? Honestly curious..

    • @ArtisZ
      @ArtisZ ปีที่แล้ว

      @BrianDean0.. Is this an automatic bot?

    • @ArtisZ
      @ArtisZ ปีที่แล้ว

      @BrianDean0... So, you programmed a bot, that deletes your previous "yo" and adds a new "yo". I can't figure if it's genius or scamy.

  • @cliezenCX

    Great video. Interestingly you said that you don't know WHY MRR started increasing again. Sounds like you aren't monitoring or asking your customers for systematic feedback to understand the customer experience and satisfaction. It's easier than you think and it answers all the "what" and "why" about changes in satisfaction and customer experience.

    Great video. Checked out the website, super nice. Consider adding link for each exploding topic redirecting to google. What I did (and probably any other person) is copy title, open Google, hit search. Good luck. Just subscribed for newsletter.

    Brian, you've mentioned you're doing 3-4 launches in a year that help you convert prospects from the newsletter into paid customers. What is a launch? The release of a new feature? I mean, that makes sense, but if you're planning to ship features faster (2-3 weeks per feature) that means you're planning to have more launches (3 emails per launch, right?) Aren't you afraid this would spam and potentially decrease the value of your newsletter?

    • @BrianDean
      @BrianDean  ปีที่แล้ว

      We usually package a number of improvements into a "new and improved" or "3.0, 4.0, 5.0" etc. version of the product. That way, we have a legit reason for launching. But it's not like we're doing a launch every 2-3 weeks

    I’ve started my own service business not SAAS but when do you know this will not work like when you decided to shut down ur business in 2017. 3-6 months to make some profit is what I have told myself

    • @BrianDean
      @BrianDean  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'd definitely be patient. But you should see SOME traction within 3-6 months. If not, it's probably time to reevaluate your product, model etc.

    The $2.9M number comes from $10k MRR x 12 = $120k MRR x 24x multiple?

    • @BrianDean
      @BrianDean  ปีที่แล้ว

      We hit $10k MRR within 30 days of launching our paid plan. That was almost 3 years ago. Our MRR is significantly higher now.
