Introduction

About the Author

Hello there!

My name is Camille Louédoc-Eyries and my goal is to build a profitable SaaS using my skills.

About this book

I have two goals with this book:

  1. Keeping a Buildlog
  2. Creating a playbook for building SaaS for people with similar skills as me.

TODO

This page will contain stuff I need to do.

I'll keep all the tasks here to motivate me to get them done.

Meta

  • link this website to Beeminder
  • write about "verticals"
  • write about researching a vertical; talking to people, making a form
  • write about picking verticals
  • add a "contact me" page

Todo

  • refreshing my linkedin

Buildlog

Build-log entries are just about stuff I did everyday; to show to myself the progress I'm making.

My goal long-term would be to leave my previous projects and work on legit high-income projects, and it requires daily commitment.

I'll add a Beeminder goal to force me to post every weekday.

Day 001

Summary: I talked with PDW, and I'm motivated to try it another way! More work, but it's okay, I can do it :)

Key TODO

Just the stuff I really need to do tomorrow.

  • Setup Beeminder RSS integration to force me to work on this

The rest; it'll come naturally because of the Beeminder goal.

Notes from conversation

Here is the stuff relevant to this project:

Vertical ideas

  • LinkedIn datasets
  • Leboncoin datasets
  • Crunchbase
  • Instagram

Doing fun things

I complained that I really don't want to work on "unfun" things, such as marketing, networking, etc...

His answer: "by definition, everybody is doing the fun things"

True. But some things I do for fun, some people don't, like bypassing antibots software.

A real possibility

It's really possible to create a company that does 20k$ MRR.

Pick 2-4 customers. Don't accept anybody that's not willing to spend >3k$/month

Done!

Increasing my visibility

I can do this under a pseudonym, or under my real name.

The most important thing: finding somebody ready to pay for something.

For example, I could find somebody ready to pay $5k/month for car datasets.

I just need to talk around; I'll end up talking with somebody that might be able to pay what I want.

Inbound

  • updating my linkedin description (I help you bypass ... etc)
  • creating open-source repositories
  • opening a blog where I post technical stuff (should've done that ages ago)
  • LinkedIn posts
  • starting google ads (e.g. "bypass datadome" with a form)

The best would really be that people find me when they type their problem on Google (e.g. "bypassing Datadome").

This is a really interesting idea, to get in touch with people who are looking to bypass a specific antibot!

This is my favorite one so far, and I think it's possible to get something going for not too much $

I'll check if I can open up my old Google Ads account. I really hope that I'm not banned...

Outbound

Networks
  • Reddit
  • Discord
  • GitHub
Messaging

An example of message to use:

I saw that you did some commits on this repository; I'm scraping LBC a lot too, let me know if you need anything :)

Other coaches?

Maybe I should talk to ENT also.

This will be something for tomorrow because I'm tired and don't really feel like talking too much right now.

Should I bring my coworker with me?

I think I should bring him in if he's interested, but do the initial boring work by myself. Otherwise I don't feel "in control" enough and it'll be too hard for me to develop the necessary skills.

Day 002

Just a chill day, I have a lot to do at $DAYJOB.

I'll focus on setting up this website today. Actually, it'll be my focus for the next few days; I want to take it slow...

Even though it looks like it's taking time away from Doing The Thing(tm), I think that having a clean website to track my progress could be really help me keep going over the long term.

Done

  • set up the website on canihazmoney.org

Notes

I need to generate a sitemap.xml and then a RSS feed so that I can plug that in Beeminder.

Annex

This section will contain various notes about software, concepts, etc.

It'll be a bit less organized, but can be useful to understand what's going on.

Beeminder

Beeminder is software that allows yourself to pursue your goals by charging you money if you don't do a specific action.

For example, I configured Beeminder to charge me $5 if I don't add content to this website every day.
