Things I wish I knew before I bootstrapped my first SaaS startup

&gt; And if all your discussions tend to span weeks or months before someone even signs-up you probably need to do one of these three things:<p>&gt; You should increase your price, by a lot<p>I&#x27;ve seen this point written a few times by a handful of people, and it seems to be true enough, but it also seems unconventional to me.<p>What&#x27;s the rationale behind this?

This advice applies equally to a startup taking some form of funding as well. Don&#x27;t waste time on these things, just focus relentlessly on distribution and your product (what the user sees, not the plumbing).

&gt; It was a dream we’d be nursing for a long time as bootstrappers like Rob Wailing or Pieter Levels, and communities such as IndieHackers by the Courtland Allen had been a source of inspiration for us ever since 2010.<p>This kinda threw me off. I think he&#x27;s talking about Rob Walling, not &quot;Wailing&quot;. Also, IndieHackers was started in 2016.<p>I&#x27;ll acknowledge that Rob Walling&#x27;s podcast &quot;Startups for the rest of us&quot; was started in 2010.<p>Aside from that, it&#x27;s a great article about their experience failing their 1st product and succeeding in their 2nd through persistence.
