I launched a SaaS 5 months ago, and since then I've got:
1. 9k organic visitors
2. 700 free users
3. 70 activated users (that performed an activation action)
4. Around 30 calls
5. Zero customers
All the traffic is organic, people are very interested in what I've built, a lot of the traffic is from HackerNews, direct, or google search (users searching by company name).
However, there are zero customers and it's driving me crazy.
The product is working well, it's an MVP but works very well for an MVP, and I use it daily, so I can't say that it's because the product sucks.
We have a free 14 day trial.
This is driving me crazy, this is not my first product, I had a few other projects before, and none of them were successful, and they had no customers either.
However, with the interest I saw from the people for this one, I thought that I'd get at least a few customers by now, but I didn't.
This is really depressing sh#t, and it's driving me crazy.
I'm thinking about what the f##k is the problem? How is this possible? It's like the universe banned me from making money online.
It's not about the money though, I make decent money as a software engineer because I'm good at it, and this is why I love to create my own projects, and I want to start my own business, but I just can't take off, it's like something's pulling me down.
I see people creating new projects every day, getting like 200-300 visitors, and 2-3 paying customers, and I'm just wondering what on earth am I doing wrong?
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not complaining, I'm just trying to understand this, why it's happening and clear out my head a little bit.
Not sure if I'm asking for advice, but if you have anything to offer, please do. I just wanted to clear out my head, see what other people think about this.
Edit: one of the calls was with a team from Amazon, and another one with a large transportation company from Europe.
Final note: I will never give up.
