Unfortunately Notion just yesterday added forms. I had this happen to me too. I build an add-on needed product to a platform. The platform added the feature. No regrets & it funded my digital nomadism for some years but hopefully your users find your app more useful or you find another successful pivot.
Bro if you thinking he gets 4 hundred direct in his pocket then here comes reality check. • Taxes • subscription and other costs • employees salary Also this is Mrr ( monthly recurring revenue ) 37k is not consistently coming every month Depends on users retention rates. This is not what it's looks online.
@@lawliet6434 This. Unbelievable how so many people stil confuse company's revenues with personal NET income. Jesus... V.A.T, operating expenses, Taxes on company's benefits. Social contributions on founder's salary, Taxes on dividends. Taxes on personal income. Which means he earns maybe 150,000€/year not 400,000.
@@lawliet6434 yeah i agree! but the point of my comment was comparing us salaries to europe's salaries and how many americans would be surprised to find out how little they make in europe compared to america.
I took that Reddit post and repurposed it in a Reddit group for a software for which I created an extension. The interaction has been incredible! In just 12 hours, the introduction video doubled in views, and I'm actually receiving comments and engaging interactions from people.
doesn't matter, his saas is so different to the point people might be more keen to choose his app instead of a monster of an app like notion, thats what a saas is all about, taking a side l feature from huge apps and dumming it down to be the core of your app
there is so much money in forms software and plugins that i dont think it will affect his business tbh - there can be many winners - just look at wordpress plugins
I’d be a shame if Notion released a native feature… OH WAIT…. Congrats on your bag💰Julian but time to innovate and pivot cus your app usage might shrink🎉
13:06 these shots of you Pat when you are kind of listening to the guest but at the same time doing something on your laptop are really distracting, i know you are perhaps trying to make the video more dynamic or add some variation but just wanted to share my feedback!
I create things but I can't get to make them known to people do I can never monetize, and no one replies my DM or emails. Explain that part and detail pkease
These videos he puts on TH-cam are just ads for his course. He saves the details for his course. Use these TH-cam videos for motivation and get some general idea of solo-entrepreneurship.
Creating things is the easy part. In this video we talked a lot about marketing and getting in front of users. This is where you should be spending nearly all of your time
ive been building an AI app that i might sell right away once i build it cause i just need the upfront money to have time to work on my core app i want to build
this business idea is obsolete with or without AI. my dog is capable of building similar quality notion templates, in case anyone wants to buy her templates.
i'd love to show you the 1000s of coders ive seen that can build amazing things but never get a single customer bc they dont do marketing. this is one thing we focus on in starterstory.com/academy
@@adamkhan7234 if you're serious about how bad it is, you gotta try Optimel Manuka Honey Gel. Don't get the drops, get the gel. It stings like hell but there are plenty of double blind studies on its safety so it's not harmful. Only eye drop/gel product I've ever used with instant relief (after 30 sec of stinging) and long term improvements
Thanks again for featuring me in starter story, it was fun!! 👋
Smart and handsome 🥰

@@kristellefeghali5370I agree
Félicitations🔥
$400,000 is the salary of 8 doctors in europe. Americans would be shocked at the salary differences. love this video
$400,000 is the salary of 45 doctors in india.
an entrepreneur doesn't work on salaries. and as I see it, this is an entrepreneur now.

Could you explain further
6:58 it might be a good idea to filter out some search results before it makes into the video
omfg lol
😂😂😂😂
excellent
damn great catch!
this video needed something like that
great video of someone starting a grind, got it to work, and is helping others. great notion user here too
I agree - and he seems very smart and nice
14:30 3 devs for 5k? Man, the guy is slaving the poor devs
Since I started to watch this channel i decided to learn software development right away
Amazing if you Star then why we both
Great vid. It would be helpful to hear more about what failed in prior projects to help avoid survivorship bias.
How would he change direction now that forms are native in Notion ?

@@antwarior he made a Notion template, not an app. No one is making 37k/yr from selling Notion junk except for Notion
there is so much money in forms software and plugins that i dont think it will affect his business tbh - there can be many winners - just look at wordpress plugins
he can't do anything. user will leave. no many more users will come. but he must have knew the risk.
what about now that notion actually has forms?
MRR: $0
Not as quickly as you might think tho @@edhahaz
So interesting!!! Love those videos, thanks for sharing and well done Julien!

Love this small SaaS series!
So many valuable advice thanks!
Notion just released forms, how will this affect him?
What a time to be alive
Nice work.

hes taking notes. Stop being a noob
good feedback thanks
But how do you get the users and payibg users? How much in marketing and Ads you have invested? Where do you get investors?

Super interesting and valuable video !
I agree, what a smart guy!
Has Notion now not feature cloned this with their new Notion forms feature?
Didn't Notion just launch their own form functionality? So is this guy ok?
Wonder how they're gonna handle notion bringing out their own forms
6:59 AYO
lmfao
ive been building an AI app that i might sell right away once i build it cause i just need the upfront money to have time to work on my core app i want to build
I don't believe because no-one shows real payment screens. 😂
Yes maybe he should show his bank account and card numbers

Very 1st thing:- be a coder 🤓
um duh? leverage your skillset to develop your business.
coding is easy. I'm not saying coding well, but creating something in general. don't let it stop you if thats the reason

@@starterstory whats the point if we cant even launch mvp if we dont know how to code and build stuff..
Why can't this be done with ai step by step
it 100% can. it's just that you're just smart enough to notice this video is bullshit
Even me I was
Lets grow togerher guys love u all never surrender !
Guys reply to this comment with all the daily problems that you go through, I promise I won't capitalize on all your ideas. Thank you in advance.
Can't sleep until eyes are burning and phone drops out of my hand. Can't reliably wake up at the same time

the nsfw result haha
Unfortunately, for this guy notion just related native form so his product is dirt
wdym?
Let the MRR do the talking.
@@starterstorytrue but wheres the proof?
Yes. Almost feels like Notion copied his idea. 😂
In the place where he lives a doctor earns 55K, so I guess het makes like 7x a doctor's salary.
Respected Brother Namaskar 🙏🙏🙏 My help me
