I just deleted my Stripe account. Why ? Because I realized I pay them 2k€ every month and they buy NOTHING from me. not. a. single. subscription. That's over 24k€ of Annual Reccuring Deficit (ARD) Not good 👐

To be clear, it's a fake I made to parody the out of control tipping culture 😇 Was looking for a way to cheer me up when I received this parking ticket this morning 🥲

My new 2025 world view : All startup ideas are bad unless proven otherwise All Twitter/Bsky posts are misleading unless proven otherwise

I have been trying to reach out to Facebooks groups of potential users but admins either respond or tell me straight away they do not want to affiliate I thinks it's because they are afraid of scams...which are very present in several marketplaces I am considering paying them to listen 😅

That's a good idea ! I would need to partner up with someone to do that.

I think finding a cofounder to have one product focused IH and another marketing focused IH is the best solution Also solves the IH loneliness issue 😅

Phil 🇫🇷🍼 (French SaaS-dad) @saasisson.bsky.social · 17/12/2024
Makers as in other IHs ?If yes, they are probably focused on their own product no?

Phil 🇫🇷🍼 (French SaaS-dad) @saasisson.bsky.social · 17/12/2024
If this is worth it, yes, I would ! That's the whole question actually: appart from making sure my product it mentioned in the posts, how else could this make money ?

I'm mostly asking because Discourse next plan is 100k pages viewed per m at 500$/m which seems a lot of $$ I need to know if this is worth pushing to that or not...

Phil 🇫🇷🍼 (French SaaS-dad) @saasisson.bsky.social · 17/12/2024
6m ago, I launched a Discourse site to build a community of users using the marketplace my SaaS is built on Now I have 22k pages viewed per m (1/4 connected accounts, 3/4 outside visitors) I have no idea how valuable 22k is... Is it a lot ? Very little? How could I compare it ? Please help 😅

I feel the vibe is more kind and less judging here Also I get more engagement. On X I'm tweet in the void (too little following)

One interesting difference btw FR and US is the "personal space" thing My 7 yo likes hugging or poking other kids in a playful way (not hurting them) In FR neither kids nor teachers would mind Here in the US, we had to teach him not to do it. Other kids feel attacked if done without consent 😅

Thanks Patrice Is this a well known tool ? Never heard of it before

Thanks a lot Serhii for the heads up ! That would definitely disqualify Ghost...

Phil 🇫🇷🍼 (French SaaS-dad) @saasisson.bsky.social · 11/12/2024
Interesting idea indeed ! I never too the time to learn how to use it. I feel like a product on autopilot would be easier than WordPress? But I might be wrong

Phil 🇫🇷🍼 (French SaaS-dad) @saasisson.bsky.social · 10/12/2024
I am thinking about starting a blog for my product Any recommandation of a SIMPLE tool that is : - already optimized for SEO - easy to plug into a blog.mysaas.com address - easy to use - ideally has multi-language built in ?

You sure ? I mean, most influencers are independant at first... What about a terrible "indie-fluen-kers" ? 😆

You mean disinformation about marketing ? 😅

If too many customers feel this way, they are creating space for competition

It's indeed generally a bad idea OR you could make Millions like Marc Lou 🙂

Also you're so active on Bsky and X, it's probably difficult to have solid work done with so much work (tweeting, answering, etc.) on social platforms no ?

I came here because @justinjackson.ca mentioned it on his Twitter account Same for most people. This needs to keep going 💪

You should not leave Twitter ESPECIALLY if you want BlueSky to win. Why ? If you have a following on Twitter, stay a bit active and, once in a while, mention Bluesky That's how you will keep bringing people here If you leave, you lose that

Screens, totally My kids are using iPads in a US public school... Why ? That would never happen in France : some parents get angry when kids are shown a cartoon during recess if it's raining 😄

I don't know. Hate speech like this where the racism is obvious does not bring anything appart from being the first step towards violence Unless you think there's any use doing this, I think it should not be allowed

In a way yes ! Natural sugar they will get in fruits, bread, etc. Is more than enough

Okay but why lose that ? Unless your family also speaks English or they won't visit Tamil speaking countries often Always makes me a bit sad when I see kids who could have been bilingual but are not Probably because I did not have that option (my wife is also french)

Phil 🇫🇷🍼 (French SaaS-dad) @saasisson.bsky.social · 05/12/2024
Exactly! I did not want to use this word to not sound too extreme but this is exactly my feeling Watching US kids around 1yo eating pumpkin pies with their eyes lit up like a meth user is literally hurting me

Phil 🇫🇷🍼 (French SaaS-dad) @saasisson.bsky.social · 05/12/2024
You did not plan on teaching them Tamil ? I understand it's probably a lot of work and English is easier

Harder in the US than in France indeed. Simple raw food is quite difficult to find... Even for adults : additives are everywhere

Phil 🇫🇷🍼 (French SaaS-dad) @saasisson.bsky.social · 05/12/2024
Unsolicited parenting advice : Do not give anything with ADDED sugar to your kid before 3 y.o. This is when their tasting and eating habits form. They do not need it and if not given any, won't ask for it In France this habit is growing but here in the US, noone gives a F*** it's crazy 😅
