No fugazi here. Road to 200K solo let's go! 🚀

your email list is full of people who trust you and will answer questions most brands never survey them 3 plays that work: 📦 post-fulfillment → catches issues before bad reviews 🧪 quarterly product dev → top customers tell you what to build 👻 lapsed reactivation → brutal honesty about why they left

@matthewmillerai @bridgemindai congrats dude - the fun starts here!

BridgeMind just hit $10k MRR. I have been all in on BridgeMind for 6 months. I started with a dream and turned it into reality. Consistency pays off.

"why don't you hire?" first question @uvkewate asked me on the pod. same question I get every time someone sees $100K MRR solo. every hire adds friction between a customer asking for something and me shipping it. that's not a flex. that's the strategy 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=22XKX5…

@callmeharis_ @uvkewate @zigpoll Thanks so much, I appreciate it!

@jason_zig @uvkewate @zigpoll You've built a great product, Jason

Spoke with Jason Zigelbaum, who shares how he built @zigpoll into a $100K/month Shopify app as a solo founder. We talk about the power of post-purchase surveys, why zero-party data matters for e-commerce brands, and how a focused founder can build a serious SaaS business without a big team. Key Findings: - A solo founder can build and scale a meaningful SaaS business on Shopify - Post-purchase surveys help brands understand customer intent better than many traditional analytics tools - Zero-party data is becoming more valuable as attribution gets harder - Simplicity, focus, and solving a real problem can beat complexity - You do not always need a large team to reach $1M+ ARR Watch the full podcast episode here: youtu.be/22XKX5NoIrk #shopify #shopifypodcast #thesaashub

@Dave_Geoghegan_ agreed - you have to keep iterating at the speed you're moving (ideally FAST). trends change, the world changes, etc... and you need to constantly reframe to keep the signal clear

@jason_zig imperfect-shipped beats perfect-drafted every time for surveys specifically because response bias shifts weekly. the 1m story only works if you ran enough cycles to see the shifts. most teams design one survey and treat it like gospel.

brands spend weeks designing the "perfect" survey while their competitors already have 500 responses I bootstrapped to $1M+ ARR with imperfect surveys. the data is the value, not the wording. stop overthinking. start collecting ⚡

8% of your visitors will tell you exactly why they didn't buy sounds small. do the math: 50K visitors → 97% leave → 8% respond = 3,880 answers/month one brand found 25% said "I'll come back when I get paid" started mid-month promos. revenue went up 📈

your analytics tell you what happened. your customers tell you why. I left my agency job and built a $1M+ ARR business on that one insight. the gap between "what" and "why" is where all the money is.

@vaaselene it takes a while but the most important thing is to never give up and keep iterating on customer feedback

woke up to $100 mrr this morning Next is $1,000 🚀 How do people even hit $10K MRR?!

stop asking "how did you hear about us?" as your only post-purchase question ask this instead: "what almost stopped you from buying today?" attribution tells you where money came from. this tells you where it's leaking 💰

bootstrapped zigpoll to $1M+ ARR on ecommerce surveys plot twist: SaaS and app businesses are now our fastest-growing segment same principle. listen to your market to know what to build. doesn't matter if you sell shoes or software 🎯

@TomTurcotteTech it's important to internalize what customers are asking for and not taking it 1-1 necessarily. For example your goal is to build the version of your product that a wide set of customers will pay for, not a version of your product that is over optimized for a single customer

@jason_zig I also use my own product as a pillar that guides growth, any hidden tips for not becoming accustomed to it?

$0 → $100K MRR → $1M+ ARR. solo. no funding. no co-founder. the whole strategy: use my own product to decide what to build next customers tell me what they need. I build it. repeat. that's how you bootstrap past $1M without a sales team 🤷

I built a $1M+ ARR survey tool and even I can't see my own attribution in analytics 19% of zigpoll installs come from word of mouth. invisible in every dashboard. post-purchase surveys see what pixels can't 👀

@BridgetMWillard Thanks! yeah, Shopify is great but there's no reason you can't use Zigpoll for any ecomm platform or business. Survey's can cast a really wide net!

@jason_zig That is super cool! I always think of how it will integrate with eCommerce other than Shopify.

@jason_zig Do you have an integration to WooCommerce?

every brand has a $50K analytics stack and zero idea why people don't buy a thank-you page survey costs nothing and answers the only question that matters built a $1M+ ARR business on this one insight 📊

@real_rehaan @StevBuilds better to know how the users you acquire found you and who they are right? that way you can find more people like them? do what you want though, best of luck

@jason_zig @StevBuilds interesting. but it feels like more of a services thats already acquiring users. wouldnt be that much help to me right now

What’s the hardest part of building solo for you? → self doubt → no feedback → wearing every hat → staying consistent → economical pressure

@real_rehaan @StevBuilds that's a common use-case but you can place it in lots of spots though (ex on downgrade also).

@jason_zig @StevBuilds so this is for post-user sign up?
