Bootstrapping Saas is a podcast where I document my attempts at getting to $10K in MRR with my Saas products as a one man show (designer, developer, marketer). I cover things like sales strategies, failed attempts, successful outcomes, lessons, and a few personal things here and there.
I am documenting my journey to financial freedom in public. You can read more about it starting with this article: Setting Sail.
I am currently building and talking about my newest product: blogstatic.io.
I have already exited a product (Claritask) for a decent amount. Listen to episode 48 for details about it. There's also an in-depth episode on The Product Journey Podcast. Listen here.
The show is roughly prepared with bullet points, but mostly a free rain of thoughts with whatever is going on that week.
The first 40 episodes have been mostly about Claritask. Starting with Episode 41, I cover more attempts, ideas, findings, and other potential products.
New episodes were published ~weekly-ish at one point. In Spring 2021, I moved to monthly episodes whenever there was an announcement to make. Then at some point, I started bringing in guests, and up until April 2022, I did this weekly.
In November 2022, starting with EP65, I returned to my initial solo weekly episodes and plan to keep it this way in the foreseeable future.
I detail the business side of running a bootstrapped Saas and personal struggles along the way. All this hopes it will help someone in the same shoes and (for self) look back to what I've been doing along the way.
Follow me along on this journey.
