Never build for indies or students should be number 1.
1. Build for a customer you can reach.
2. Build what people want/use.
3. Don't build for Indies.

Interesting data:
Most small business owners make about the same as they did as employees.
Proves that we’re doing it for the autonomy, not (only) for the money.

Profitable on day one!
You’re not profitable if you couldn’t afford someone else to do your job. $1000/mo isn’t profitable. Fix your definition of “profitable,” and build a truly profitable business.

The best things in life free. Learnt from Jason that the best reward to your loyal customers is just a message of appreciation.
How should you reward your most loyal customers?
Tell them how much you appreciate them. What it meant to you as a struggling entrepreneur. How you’ll never forget how they bet on you early on.
This is a greater gift than any material.
And it’s true.

The ROI in content marketing is unparalleled in SaaS
If you spend $1000 on AdWords, you might get some customers.
If you spend $1000 on content that gets 20 hits/day for 5 years, you might get a lot more value in total, although not 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺.
So, both kinds of marketing spend are probably required.

Copywriting Tip 💡
Before your next copywriting project, take 1 piece of content you really like & copy it.
I mean, LITERALLY copy it.
Take a pen and paper and write it down. ✍️
It could be a:
✅ customer testimonial,
✅ blog post
✅ competitor’s LP
