BC BUILD AND PROMOTE STRATEGY
Saved by @nithinankam

Want to make $1,000,000 in a year?

A tangible, step-by-step roadmap 👇

 This is exact strategy I used to take a business idea I had in October to getting a $1.2m valuation by December.

In 42 days we:

1. Had 2,400+ Sign-ups
2. Hit $28,000+ MRR
3. $1m+ Acquisition Offers

You are going to build a "Micro-SaaS" and sell it for $1m💰
Quick PSA 🚨

This thread is going to be LONG but...

I promise that if you TAKE ACTION with this info you will change your life.

I'm not some guru trying to sell you a "magic formula" - this will take hard work.

Save it, study it and share with friends.

Let's get to work ✅
First, you need to understand the math.

This is not about making $1m in revenue or profit.

This is about EQUITY 💰

Here's how it works:

$15,000 Monthly Profit
x 12 Months
= $180,000 Annual Profit
x 5-6 exit multiple
= $1,000,000 Acquisition

Equity = Leverage 🔑
Next, let's talk about CUSTOMERS

🔥 Customers come first, ideas come after.

Ideal Customers: PROSUMERS

Examples:
👉 Shopify Owners
👉 Content Creators
👉 New Entrepreneurs
👉 Agency Owners

They are highly motivated to succeed and willing to INVEST in their success.
Customers (Part 2)

At the CORE, prosumers want 2 things:

1. To Make More Money
2. To Get More Attention

They don't necessarily care about HOW this happens.

They want to spend money on tools, resources, etc to turn their DREAM into a REALITY.

🔥 UNDERSTAND THIS.
Now, let's talk about your idea:

The priority here is to keep it SIMPLE.

One Problem 👉 One Solution

You don't have to build the next Facebook to make $1,000,000 ❌

Example:

Shopify owners struggle to find influencers to promote their brand.

Idea: influencer discovery tool
Ideas (Part 2)

Your primary goal is to understand the problem a group of people is experiencing and create a TOOL to help them achieve their desired outcome.

📍 Point A --> 📍 Point B.

Here's some more tips for finding ideas 👇

Now that you have an idea, let's build your offer.

Prosumers have less disposable income which means they want an affordable solution to their problems.

Your goal is to create a service that you can sell for less than $100/month.

Our average subscription was ~$60/month
Offer (Part 2)

Prosumers are also less willing to "throw money away" on new things.

The easiest way to boost sign-ups is offering a free trial.

Offer 7 days for free.

🔥 REQUIRE CREDIT CARD TO START.

Fewer trial sign-ups but better conversion rates from trial to paying user.
Now it's time to build:

You are building a VEHICLE for value delivery.

Databases
Chrome Extensions
Dashboards
Automations
...you have options

Answer 1 question:

What is the simplest way to deliver value?

Here's a VEHICLE I built in 2 hours + $100 👇

Build (Part 2)

You don't have to be a developer or pay $10,000+ to build a valuable SaaS product.

Here are a few fast & cheap ways to start:

No-Code: @webflow, @bubble, & @AdaloHQ
Templates: @codecanyon & @envato
Affordable Devs: @Upwork & @toptal

Don't overcomplicate it.
Now that you have a product, it's time for the fun part:

GROWTH 🚀

There are so many ways to grow your business.

🔥 Twitter
🔥 Instagram
🔥 Cold Email
🔥 LinkedIn
🔥 TikTok
🔥 Reddit
🔥 Quora
🔥 Podcasts
and the list goes on....

But one strategy BEATS them all 👇
Prosumer's are my favorite market because you can use ONE strategy to scale faster than any other.

Facebook Ads.

Your customers are CONSUMERS FIRST meaning they can be targeted on Facebook and Instagram.

Here's a full breakdown 👇
https://t.co/sWhTUVQGkR
Growth is the lifeblood of your business.

And it's more than just acquiring users at the top of your funnel.

It's about build a GROWTH SYSTEM that helps you turn cold traffic into loyal customers.

Here is a full explanation of growth marketing 👇
https://t.co/z89bQ2cM9T
Once you have a solid growth foundation you need to focus on RETENTION.

Keeping a customer is cheaper than finding a new one.

Lead with product value + good customer service

Whoever is going to buy your company wants to see that your customers keep paying you over time.
You can make $1,000,000 in 12 months with less than 500 active customers.

Let's review the math:

500 users x $40/month
= $20,000 Revenue
- $5,000 operating expenses
= $15,000/month profit
x 12 months
= $180,000 Annual Profit
x 5-6 exit multiple

= $1,000,000 Acquisition ✅
A Few Pro Tips 🔥

1⃣ BENEFITS > FEATURES: Sell the WHY not the HOW

2⃣ Focus on customer problems and your offer first, then build the solution

3⃣ White-Label ≠ Big Exit - you won't get the multiple when you try to sell the business

SRI KANTESH HANUMANTHA, KADARAMANDALAGI (KAR)
#bharatmandir

KANTESHA means Prabhu full of brightness.
Here, Sri Hanuman appears with a front face and sparkling eyes. Earlier, the village was also called KANTESHPURI on the name of Kantesha Hanuman.


Several thousands of years ago, Hanuman lived in this village. He once saw the Sun and mistaking it to be a fruit, began flying towards it. Since then, this village came to be known as Kadara Man Dalagi. (Kadar means rays, mandala is cluster of rays).


It is believed that King Janmejaya had set up the shrine to get rid of his difficulties.
There is a small pond on the right side of the kshetram where Teppotsava (Float festival) is celebrated.

Kanaka Dasa has praised Sri Kantesha in his various poetic compositions.


Kanaka Dasa was the first devotee to popularize the power of Kantesha. It is said that once Kanaka Dasa was deeply wounded in a battle. To seek blessings, he visited Tirupati but Sri Venkatesha appeared in his dream and advised him to see Kantesha first before seeing him.

A thread on HN about bad code in legacy projects both makes me think how little we've learned as a discipline over the years and, honestly, how little credit we give ourselves for some pretty major

Fun going down this list and thinking: "Hmm, plausible at a well-run modern software shop", "Hmm, possible, but requires implausible tradeoffs", "Literally disallowed by languages", and "If you were to attempt doing that our test suite wouldn't let you merge."

I think we as an industry celebrate (not quite the right word) failure too much and don't celebrate success nearly enough. There is no DailyWTF for competent execution, word of which generally stays pretty local to the source while incompetence passes into legend.

Alrighty let me try to thread the needle on being the change I want to see in the world while not giving away anything that will get me in trouble:

Ruby has wonderful developer ergonomics. Typed languages are easier for machines to guarantee the correctness of. We built a type checker for Ruby (and I believe it is slated for OSS release sometime).

MAHARAJA CHHATRASAL BUNDELA was the great Bundela King who revolted against the Mughal ruler Aurangzeb.
Chhatrasal Bundela was born in year 1649 CE in Maur Hill of Bundela region to Champat Rai and Lal Kunwar. He was the descendent of Rudra Pratap of Orchha.


His ancesters were the vassals of Mughal Emperor. He drew inspiration from his father and revolted against the alien rule of Mughals. He was just 12 yrs old when his parents died in fight against the Mughal Army of Aurangzeb in 1661.

When his beloved father attained martyrdom in the year 166, the young Chatrasal was present in the last battle of his father against the Mughal and from these valiant campaigns,..

..he gathered the courage to free Bundelkhand from Aurangzeb’s rule.
He joined the Mughals initially, and was recommended by the Rajput King Mirza Jai Singh to be recruited in the Mughal Army in order to support their Deccan Campaigns.


But serving the alien rule of Mughals which brought chaos and misery to Bundelkhand was unacceptable for Chatrasal Bundela and his father’s incessant struggle against the Mughals kept the fire of independent Bundelkhand alive in his heart.

A brief thread on Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, the crazy con man who is now claiming to have hacked into the Georgia voting machines in Fulton County. 90s kids and tech aficionados might remember Jovan as the inventor of the CueCat, the dumbest gadget of all time.

Also, for anyone who wants to claim that Jovan Hutton Pulitzer (not his given name, but one he changed legally after the CueCat debacle) invented QR Codes: he did not. Like that other right-wing crazy man who claimed to have invented email, Jovan didn’t invent QR Codes.

He did invent the CueCat, a product that somehow raised $185 million dollars for a tethered barcode scanner for magazines and newspapers, so you could get ads from your ads. As I said, the dumbest product of all time. Good backup barcode scanners after they were hacked, however

Oh, that’s another thing. When CueCat was a thing, its systems were hacked. I guess that’s what makes Jovan a security expert. His bankrupt company from 20 years ago was hacked and widely mocked. He’s a genius.

In recent years, Jovan pivoted to being a treasure hunter who was featured on and widely mocked on Curse of Oak Island, because the man is insane.
