I'm 24. I work 9-5. As I approach 30, I don't want to end up being a normie stuck in a 9-to-5 job. That's why every evening and weekend, I'm building my SaaS and personal brand. The goal is dead simple: grow my SaaS to $1k MRR while working 9-5 and document every single step.

What if “Ship solo sleep never = SUCCESS🤑” is the biggest lie on the Internet right now? This video features private interviews with @tibo_maker @phuctm97 @ElitzaVasileva @andrewzacker @praneethpike @qwertyu_alex at the @HackerResidency villa in Da Nang. Why did I fly to the other side of the world to talk to them? Was it useful for them to lock in together? WATCH the video and find out 🔥🔥

Not bad for a 12-hour flight. Thanks to whop’s green recovery, I can officially feel good for the whole day 😅.

Build in public is dead 😵 When you succeed, people copy you. When you’re failing, nobody cares. But today’s Marketing OS guest @jackfriks proves it still works when you do it right. He grew a SaaS to $40K MRR by building in public. New article, today, only for subscribers: themarketingos.io/

Must-read for all devs who work 9-5 and want to launch a SaaS. Your technical skills can be an advantage even in the AI era.

People talk about “focus switching” when you combine a 9-5 and a side start-up. But when you are building a SaaS after job you are actually LASER FOCUSED on needle-moving activities, because your time and energy are limited. Also, if you are shipping every day even though you don't have enough time and energy, it means you truly want to achieve it, and excuses don't exist for you. Lastly, with a high-income job, you can try more aggressive SaaS marketing, like ads, influencer marketing, hiring someone and be okay with failures. That's my goal, to build a successful online business, while working 9-5, document it and prove that it is possible.
I don't know anyone who quit their job to live of savings and built something that made money before their savings run out except @AndreyAzimov I always think it's the wrong way to do it I think you should build something on the side and once it makes equal or more money than your main job or freelance gigs and it's stable, quit the job and switch Being unemployed somehow makes people lazy and feel too relaxed to build something, like your day is fully free of commitments which sounds ideal but freedom isn't when stuff is built I think, you need constraints I had income from my YouTube channel Panda Mix Show in 2013 when I started, and it took over a year before I made enough money to switch Obviously I wish him well but I think better do the switch than hard quit

Being a developer in 2026 sucks. AI can vibe-code any app, and the value of your skills depreciates. But there is one niche where your tech skills are your advantage. Tomorrow we'll break down how you can build a niche API to $10K/m using 3 channels. Comment "API" to get it.

Elitza is one of the most passionate people I know. She has been working hard on her product for years and still puts so much effort into every tiny detail. If that doesn't deserve a product of the day, I don't know what does. If you have a second, please upvote her 🙏
I just launched own․page on Product Hunt 🚀 It’s my first ever launch there, and I’d really appreciate your support! If you could check it out and give feedback it would mean the world to me. I’ve poured my heart into own․page and devoted so much time to building it, so I’d love to get it in front of as many people as possible. Thank you so much 💜

Cooking a new breakdown for Marketing OS this morning. This story is insane, 2 guys went from 0 to $1K MRR in 8 days using LinkedIn. You’ll want to start using LinkedIn after reading it 😅

That's why I like challenges! They make people commit, and achieve things they want to achieve! Francesco is about to win our monthly Content Copilot challenge prize if he commits for 8 more days!
I don't know which of these two reasons makes me like Content Copilot (#30DayVideo) more: 1. Consistency Under the pretext of not breaking my streak, it's making me upload a video every day. 2. Sleeping schedule?!? The timer that resets every 24 hours is (was) set for 8 a.m.! After months of waking up late, I've finally gotten back on a decent schedule, haha I’m not an 🦉 anymore. Now, I uploaded the second video today, few minutes ago. The reset time is now at 17pm 😅 No more wake-up-before-8am(?) Anyway thanks to @andrewzacker & @FlorinPop17 because this made me experience firsthand the power that a small, colorful badge can have on the mind. Will use this concept in my products!

This is why we are building Marketing OS. It's easy to launch a SaaS when you have a huge audience or a budget. But what should you do if you have neither? When @tibo_maker started, his posts were getting 8 likes, yet he grew his SaaS to $30K MRR, here's how: themarketingos.io/p/how-tibo…

Crazy that the exact playbook on how to grow your SaaS from 0 is available for free. Copy-paste it into Claude, ask it to adapt this strategy to your startup, and MRR gonna go brrrrrrr 💸

Tibo had no audience, no money and failed 10 times in a row… But then he found a marketing strategy that grew his 11th startup to over $30k MRR in 6 months. Here’s the exact marketing playbook:

To build a successful SaaS, you need to FOCUS. In the last few days, being in Hacker Residency, I finally realised how well optimised my routine has become. I don't think about where to drink coffee, what to eat, or where to work out. I eat the same food, drink coffee in the same place, workout at the same gym. And I feel how much more productive I am, in the last week I: - ✍️wrote 3 detailed articles for Marketing OS - 👀stalked.. RESEARCHED 10 people whom we interview - 🎥filmed 4 reels and 1 YT video - 🧑‍💻redesigned Marketing OS website I finally have TIME and mental focus to create reels and YouTube videos. I was delaying this task FOR MONTHSSSS. This routine helped me to realise HOW MANY things I can produce in just ONE WEEK. So when I get back home, I'll keep up that productivity.

Our goal is to help founders with early-stage marketing. Not with bullsh*t advice, but by sharing the SAUCE. Exact DMs, X posts, emails, budget, etc. So you can read and apply it STRAIGHT AWAY. Can't wait to share Tibo’s playbook 🤫
Failed 10 apps in a row, then app #11 went to $30K MRR in 6 months. Later sold for 8 figures! 🤯 Tomorrow, we're breaking down the exact marketing strategy @tibo_maker used to get his first users, without a following and a budget. Subscribe to -> TheMarketingOS.io
