I always get a few users who are willing to pay but I can’t live with 10 users paying one time 10$

    Hey. What kind of dev are you? I have loads of ideas and know how to validate businesses as I do it for a living. Perhaps we can collaborate

    Not marketing your app may be the real problem. Please tell me about your efforts in marketing. even the great apps go unnoticed because of this.

      you are right. I mostly try to post about it on Facebook groups and subreddit. I’m not really sure how I can pass the word better for cheap.

    Leave B2C.
    Its the worst for a solo founder due to marketing, computational and so on expences

    In B2B you just call random companies you found on the internet and tell em about your SAAS. Thousands of dollars of income per single company

      I know how to solve my own problem but I have no idea what Biseness wants. It’s maybe easier but I have no idea what to build…

        Sometimes that comes from actually working in a business, it could help to work somewhere for a few years and then find out what parts of the job you could solve with technology

    A) Freemium to premium… free version limits to x photos or watermarks the photos, they upgrade to have more capabilities.

    B) SaaS… why have them pay $10 one time when you could have them pay $2.99/mo?

    As a solo dev, forget B2C and go for B2B.
    There is more money to be made, and it’s easier to cold email/call companies to sell your product.
    Also companies usually don’t care about paying a few hundreds bucks per month for your product if you solve a problem. It’s just a small expense on a budget, so they just buy, it’s much easier than B2C!

    What kind of apps are you making?

    Are you making them on iOS/Android?

    Who are your customers (audience)?

    Can you also make webApps?

    How experienced are you as a developer and what are your skills when it comes down to marketing?
