New Saas Launch. Results 24 Hours Later

I spent the last 72 hours building a saas using only AI to write the code.

Here's the results 12 hours later:

✅ 45,000 views on TikTok

✅ 14,400 views on Twitter (X)

✅ 23,000 views on Reddit (no links)

✅ 1,500 views on Instagram

✅ 50 views on Linkedin

In total, I managed to get over 41,500 views on this new saas in the first 12 hours. This has been by far one of the hardest projects I've done in a very long time.

While running this challenge I've not taken too much time out of running ChatIQ.ai, I’ve been building BopIt.app alongside marketing two saas apps, and building my personal brand

I’ve found time where I can, and worked every day past 2am. Building software is not easy, or quick, but it is possible to do when you are busy with other jobs, kids or family.

I've filmed everything, both on Instagram & TikTok https://instagram.com/sebastian_volkis/reels/

AND i'll be doing a long form video on my youtube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC8ScheuwSgGhG4xPpJY4_Dw

Shipping a new saas in 72 hours is not easy, im not saying everyone should do it, Its taken almost everything I have to be able to achieve this.

So what was the result? How many people signed up to the app?

So how many people signed up to the app?

✨407 clicks to the website

✨45 users signed up

✨46 videos analysed

✨Over 2 hours of video processed

✨43 songs identified

💵 $0 generated (freemium plan)

In my eyes this is a form of product validation. This was only ever meant to be a soft beta testing round.

The soft launch didn’t generate any revenue, and to be honest im hardly surprised. The app is so small with tiny features that don’t really have any ROI for people.

Adding in a free trial would probably lead to a few paying customers, maybe I’ll do that once we get some more powerful features added.

Within the first 2 hours of launch I fixed 5 bugs and improved the experience for other users

So whats next?

To be honest I'm not sure. Im working full time on building ChatIQ, im growing my personal brand and building a boilerplate + course to help other indiehackers achieve ramen profitability (watch this space)

Everyday I'm producing content, and adding a new saas into the mix just makes more work for me.

I'm pleased Ive added another software to my portfolio, maybe I'll sell it, maybe ill continue to add features over time and keep the project alive. I want you guys to tell me what you’d like to see.

But this proves one thing. That you need to have a marketing channel, and be able to sustain and scale that year round, without being chained to it

Next I will launch on product hunt, I'll be sharing a lot more on this journey, so would love your support to keep me motivated

I’ll keep you posted on progress. Hopefully you will all give it a try and please let me know if theres any other features you think I should add (use the Suggest A Feature Button).
