Jay | SoloBoss

I've been building SoloBoss for months. The product is solid, the marketing has been a nightmare. Reddit deletes post, Product Hunt ignored me and ads reached the wrong people. I stopped complaining and built something about it. 🧵

@AKirtesh I'm hoping 🙂

@SoloBossApp Unique products usually travel far

Developers of X 👇 What are you building these days? - Web app - AI tool - SaaS - Mobile app - something else

@ScottPresler On threads.......typical

Minnesota is unaffordable because it’s spending billions of dollars on phony Somali learing centers.

@WhiskyToad That's why I'm building EverList, check out the waitlist. everlist.dev

I'm sorry but Product Hunt is dead for indie devs This is the board today. Good luck competing with MASSIVE MULTI BILLION DOLLARS ORGS

@Alennushkaa I'm slowly learning this is true haha

It seems, whatever you do, a sales skill is essential

@dramaricic Nice to meet you man 🤝🏻

I like building in public. Sharing what works, what breaks, and figuring things out along the way. If you’re doing the same, let’s connect 🤝

@prolificVA Direct founder outreach, directory backlinks, building in public. Then it compounds. Every new listing adds pages, brings an audience, and boosts domain authority. It's still in pre-launch but that's the gist of it.

@SoloBossApp What strategy are you using to get people to see it?

14 visits. 2 signups. 14% conversion rate for EverList. The page works. Now I just need more people to see it. That's today's job. #BuildInPublic

@Layton_Gott I have seen some far out there names and just can't take it serious haha

@SoloBossApp Yeah it does for me as well.

Does the name of a SaaS actually matter? YES or NO?

I just launched the waitlist less than 24 hours ago so I am using X as my main channel. Right now I'm focused on three things. Personal outreach to founders on X who are dealing with the same marketing wall I hit with my freelancer app SoloBoss, directory submissions to build domain authority and backlinks, and building in public so the journey itself becomes the marketing. Long term, the platform compounds on its own, every founder who lists brings their audience, every new listing adds more pages Google indexes and the domain authority grows with every submission.

@SoloBossApp hmm, damn, 14% conversion is impressive. we saw similar rates when we focused on niche targeting. any particular channels you're thinking of to boost visibility?

@yusukelp Thanks man!

@SoloBossApp Nice conversion rate!! Keep going👏🔥

@andlalune Dallas actually has a strong fanbase

Why are there so many Stars fans in our arena tonight?

@sizzle_sarah Those homes will be dumped on the market real quick. Liberals just don't get it. Fantasy world.

Won’t taxing the rich just make the rich leave?

@nickshirleyy @GrageDustin Of course they are involved, we are ruled by tyrants. They would have been killed by our founding fathers.

@GrageDustin IF THEY ARENT INVOLVED IN THE FRAUD THEY WOULD VOTE FOR IT TO BE EXPOSED! THIS IS CRAZY! Might as well investigate each and every single one of them. Is this them admitting they are involved in the fraud???

Minnesotans lost $9B in taxpayer dollars to just 14 Medicaid programs under Tim Walz’s administration. Today, every single Democrat in Rules Committee voted to block an investigation into that fraud. Absolutely disgusting.

@realtalkstruth Recently with the building, a few months ago. Then I also manage a blood plasma center so I am a busy guy haha

@SoloBossApp Did you just start it?

Do you have a side hustle?

@realtalkstruth I work a ton but I'm hoping after grinding for a bit, I won't have to work at all.

@SoloBossApp Epic

@oranahh Thank you! Would love to have you as a founding member!

@SoloBossApp I love the dashboard!

A little over 16 hours since launch of the waitlist for EverList and 2 signups, besides my own. Small number. Massive feeling. Two founders trusted something that didn't exist yesterday. That's why you build.

@rxhit05 I'm actually building something a little different so that founders can break through with marketing by bringing customers to them. Just launched the waitlist today!
