I saved $4836 by Building my Own SaaS Apps (using AI)
|
Hey Reader, I saved a whopping $4836 per year by building a few simple SaaS apps myself. I was tired of paying for features I didn’t need 😓 and dealing with clunky UI / UX. So, I decided to do something about it. I also learned a lot which I've packaged in this video below. If you’d rather watch than read, check out the full video here 👇 But if reading 📙 is your thing, let’s dive into the apps I built and how they helped me ditch those pricey subscriptions! Rave Reviews: Easy Way to Collect & Display TestimonialsRave Reviews lets you collect and show off testimonials, and it's way more customizable than anything else out there. You can collect feedback with emojis and full testimonial forms. Plus, you can approve/reject responses and easily embed forms and a "wall of love" on your website. Basically, it lets you focus on getting better based on the feedback you get.
Proofy Bubble: Social Proof on AutomationSocial proof is a game-changer for building trust which is why ProofyBubble will help you automate your Social Proof. ProofyBubble displays real-time notifications for product purchases, recent feedback you received, number of people on your site and other social proof messages, helping to boost trust and sales. You connect with all your platforms to pull real data to give your website visitors the proof they need to see to convert.
I'm launching ProofyBubble in Early Access and you get a Lifetime plan for a limited time so take advantage of this. (We plan to move to subscriptions after launch). Wait, there is more...
