How much has my SaaS project made since launch?

I think your app is missing the most important part. The app doesn't document the actual icon that was downloaded and then use that info to improve the icons for future buyers. Odds are buyers are paying $5 and only expecting to use one icon out of one hundred generated icons. Focus on the one icon each buyer is downloading, and look for trends in image style or image quality issues in that case you need to also look at the icons nobody wants to download and make a comparison. I would first manually test this on random buyers after the purchase/download just to see what the user experience is like in real life for the buyer. Use the collected info to improve the system and do random checks periodically to improve the system. Most AI images are junk because the prompt is junk, maybe the icon buyer doesn't know how to create a good prompt which means you need to append a partial prompt on the backend to improve the icon quality. That would be easier than educating buyers on how to create better prompts, nobody is going to read a wall of text help files for a $5 product. Save the buyer-generated prompts in a CSV and manually look for keyword trends this can help with SEO to generate more traffic.

is your engine build on top of openAI ?

shoutout to you for the transparency.

WhT about AWS cost ? You need to pay for hosting and for s3

where did you get "Terms of Service" or "privacy policy" from? Did you pay some lawyer to write those? Or is there a website where you can get those from?

Subscribed because of the transparency. This is what I want to do myself. 150 usd profit is pretty good. Please make some more videos like this

Did you do some marketing or ads to get users land on your page other than that course??

this info is really usefull, sub

Did you do market research?

I feel like $5 to have unlimited creations is fair, single credit 30second ad

What is the best way to develop an AI app like this, starting from the structure to merging the openAI API to the payment/credit system, to the chat type AI final screen? I guarantee it will be 1 million views video

How did you market this app?

I would love a step by step tutorial and how to build something like this. I know you have your course but it doesn’t include the credits and stuff. I would genuinely even pay 30$+ for it.

My friend stripe don't work in North Africa how can I build a website for payment like stripe I can open for free but is work at same time with all countries bank

Not sure how easy this would be to do, but I would add the ability to purchase more credits in one purchase with better value per credit the higher the cost (note I dont know the current cost of your credits) e.g. $5 for 10 credits , $10 for 25 credits , $50 for 150 credits. Some people have alot of fun money.

tbf the icons look like shxt

I would give it another chance and add few more features. You also need good marketing. Thanks for sharing and best of luck!

tldr: he made 210 dollars

guys PLEASE don’t buy courses

that's $210 you didn't have to ask your boss for man, i love it, thanks so much for sharing! you're solving a problem, try and listen to your customers and see what pain points you're solving. thanks so much again!

Amazing video, I'm amazed with the transparency in your numbers. I've subscribed.

Hi, thank you for the valuable video and gumroad link. I have been hiring a custom coder to do something similar for a little over $3000 and seeing that you were showing the process on how to do this in gumroad, i went ahead and get it too. I was wondering, will you be making a tutorial on how to implement the stable diffusion UI settings into the platform to allow customers to have more options on the generated result? Something similar to the Invoke AI.

Thank you

I would guess you’re still in negatives from profit due to the domain name

I have a question, did you register urself as a company or are you doing this as an individual?

That's not your profit .. people still have tokens they've paid for, right?

Quick question, they are generating icons but they have a background on them, usually a gradient. That makes it difficult for users to actually use them as icons. Is there a way around this to make it easier for your customers?

Very informative and interesting !!

This gonna be your unicorn project

If you made 150 in profit, there's a very high chance that with some effort this can be grown to a 1500 extra income project with minimal effort.
You just need to figure out the target audience/demo (this is probably something for Discord users?) and start ranking in search engines for a few relevant searches.

How have you hosted this? I am struggling finding the right solution to host my projects. Ideally it should be cost efficent. Maybe a good idea for a future video :)

You didn't deducted stripe cost and amazon S3 and hosting in that. Are all that free or close to 0 ? Just asking for more understanding.

That's still awesome, there's some people in the world making around that amount of money every month and you just made it selling icons! We are definitely in the future 👾

Great video as always. Quick question concerning the credit feature you have on your site. Do you store the amount of credit the user has remaining on your databse and use a function to update these everytime the user creates an icon. Also were the amount of credits somehow stored in stripe when u created the stripe product/prices and you used a webhook to basically update the amount of credit a user has after they purchase???

Subbed! Thanks for being transparent.

A simple marketing campaign on instagram might do you good. However i dont think that demographic might spend any money.

I couldn't fin the discount code for the tutorial

appreciate seeing things behind the scenes

Hey Cody, Since you're using the T3 stack which means you use NextJS 13 I just have a question about whether using the app directory is production ready (I mean more specifically for those kinda SaaS projects) are you using it or just using the regular NextJs with the /pages directory

Constructive criticism: When I saw the initial vid about this app got quite excited to use it until actually trying it out and seeing that I can't really get normal-looking emojys. IMO it'd have much greater success if you figured out how to get dalle (or a different one) to do that.

Hello I think you should totally keep up with this project. Have a great day

What about the AWS cost?

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! Subscribed.

I make a lot of apps but no body using it because they don't even know it 😢😢, so pls tell us how make our app useable by people 🎉❤

would like to know how you marketed it, im building something right now while job hunting but have no idea how to get any exposure :p

hey cody. I have been practicing on your saas project with the guides but keep running into errors with next auth handleRequestError when trying to sign in. it continues to tell me to try signing in with different account. And ive been having some problem with setting up webhook. would you mind giving me some direction?

How about hosting & those aws coast ?

what about AWS cost's?

You forgot to consider your s3 cost and amplify cost for profit
