  I spent 3 weeks watching my SaaS sit at the exact same MRR. Every morning: coffee → Dodo Payments / PayPal → refresh → same number. No new customers. So, naturally, I blamed everything. “The market is saturated.” “People don’t pay for design tools anymore.” “Twitter is killing my reach.” Then I did what founders often do when they’re avoiding marketing: I opened Claude Code and built more features. Cloud tagging. Dashboard updates. Dark mode. Result? Still zero sales. That’s when I realized my product didn’t have a feature problem. It had a positioning, pricing, and distribution problem. 3 things I changed: 1. One clear problem Instead of saying my product does everything, I focused on one workflow: Extract production-ready code, design tokens, and assets from websites without digging through DevTools. 2. Better free vs paid limits I kept basic features free. But valuable workflows like bulk downloads, Tailwind exports, and cloud projects became Pro features. If a tool saves a developer 30 minutes, paying for it suddenly makes sense. 3. Stop waiting for organic traffic I found 20 digital agencies and ran their websites through my product. Then I sent them a simple 15-second demo: “Ran your homepage through my product and extracted the tokens and assets in one click. Thought this might save your team some time.” No long pitch. Just proof. Within 10 days, the plateau finally broke. More trials converted. New customers came in. Agencies started using the product during client work. The biggest lesson? When your SaaS stops growing, don’t automatically build more features. Sometimes you don't need more product.

  🚨SCAM ALERT! Scammers hacked my cousin's account & others. Facebook & other social media accounts are being HACKED, and scammers are posting stuff like their uncle is moving to a rest home and doing liquidation sales with items priced super cheap. DON'T BUY IT!!! Do not send money! Scammers will ask for down payments via Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle. One of my cousin's friends did it & just lost $2000. I thought it was real, and so did my dad, and we almost sent down payments for vehicles priced very low. There were several red flags, so I started doing some checking. Sure enough, it's a common scam. People aren't careful with their Facebook or other social media account passwords, or they get phished, and their accounts get hacked; scammers then post whatever they want to get money from the hacked person's family and friends. When a person from a hacked FB page contacts you via Messenger, report the message and use the "Other" selection and choose "Hacked." I did it, and Facebook just took down my cousin's account. Be aware. This is happening RIGHT NOW. That's it! Have a great week and beware of scammers! If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!!! 💯💯💯🚨🚨🚨

  @chelleyourself . What applies here are no less than 50 long-form investigative journalism articles of around 4,000 words each, at least most of which are reflected on my timeline right here and then over at my Substack spot. If you click on the link in my Bio it takes you right there. I had all those artkcles on my timeline in full but no one was supporting my efforts so I took them all off and moved them over to Substack behind a paywall. Whoever critiqued them said they were great but that was just a handful of people along the way. The engagement they got was demoralizing so I basically stopped leaving them on here. I still make them available for free here, usually for 24 hours before removing them but I might just stop doing that too, because it's all just steadily gone downhill to nothing. The critical turn came when I produced a series of articles targeting the Paypal Mafia and Elon Musk directly, and was also focusing on what amounts to organized crime activities being carried out in the White House, such as, "The Doge Scam" and "The Pardons Racket". After that I found myself locked in a vault, with my posts getting like 30-120 impressions max and close to zero engagement. They've been pulling all kinds of other ***** tricks too... I wrote a lot about it... some articles, mostly just smaller pieces, just about all of which I've dumped off my timeline since then. At one point I was just going to abandon this enterprise completely, whwereupon I went on a jag and dumped like 2,000 posts -- or more -- off the timeline. My goal was to just have a neat column of article ads redirecting interested parties over to Substack, but at the end of all that I just kept going, but definitely throttled down considerably. I don't know if you remember me... We crossed paths when I first got on here, and you and Subi-Doo gave me my first little leg up... I think at that point I had 0, then 5, then 40, then 100 followers. Then I joined SmokeFleet, as Gina Lola Brigida, -- that was good for 1,000 followers -- but eventually I reverted back to my own identity for what should be obvious reasons, considering I am in fact an author, and a journalist, and my name is basically my brand. Things went downhill drastically when I did, though, and have never really been the same since then. It's basically just gone downhill to nothing, it's just been awful. A lot of people have made me aware over time that the platform's been actively rigging the game against me, and I've seen -- and documented -- a lot of underhanded stuff myself. I don't know really what to do about any of that. I don't see that there's much you can do. I've seen what they can do if they want to amplify your voice. And I've seen what they can do if they determine they don't want you getting your message out. The difference between the two is breathtaking. Good to see you again, it's been awhile. What's going on with you? .

  You know, since PayPal blocked my account with money in it and there is nothing I can do about it, I have been wondering how we are victims of the systems of this world and sometimes there is nothing we can do. Imagine how one simple block can take you back to finding a way to eat and finding a way to restart your business again !! And this is a sign one day ,Your money won't be safe in the bank .. You will need a chip to use banks . This thing called money. You cannot appeal. You cannot withdraw your money. You cannot access what belongs to you. And eventually, they can use the money to pay their charges and fees. It is unfortunate that even as children of God, we are still living within these systems. And experiences like this make me think deeply: How many people will survive when the mark of the beast is introduced? Today, it may be a financial platform blocking your account. Tomorrow, it could be a law. A rule. A digital system. A currency. A condition attached to your ability to buy or sell. Think about it. When laws and rules are established, what happens when you cannot follow them? What happens when a new digital currency comes with instructions and conditions? What happens when the system says, “If you don't accept this, you cannot buy. You cannot sell. You cannot transact. You cannot live normally.” And what happens when obedience to that system means disobedience to God? This is why the issue of the mark of the beast should not be treated as a joke or something we only talk about in church. Revelation 13:17 says that no one will be able to buy or sell unless they have the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name. I don't know exactly how everything will unfold. But I know this: The world is becoming increasingly dependent on systems. And when systems control access to money, businesses, food, transactions, and even basic necessities, we need to understand the times we are living in. As Christians, we cannot put our ultimate trust in money, banks, governments, companies, digital platforms, or financial systems. Our ultimate trust must be in God. Because there may come a time when choosing God will cost you something. It may cost you access. It may cost you comfort. It may cost you money. It may cost you opportunities. And ultimately, it may cost you your life. The question is not only, “Will I survive financially?” The deeper question is: “Will I remain faithful to God when obedience becomes costly?” May God prepare us spiritually. May He give us discernment. May He give us courage. May He give us the grace to stand when the systems of this world turn against those who refuse to compromise. Because at the end of everything, our hope is not in money. Our hope is in God.

  avi (@avikshithrao) reported 38 minutes ago

  why is paypal such a pain to use :/ at spacered, we work with clients internationally, and we mostly use wise or direct bank transfers for overseas payments, both have worked pretty smoothly for us the problem is that a lot of our US clients default to paypal, and explaining the limitations / issues we run into receiving payments in india gets old pretty quickly stripe and venmo aren't really options for us either sf founders / tech bros / anyone from the US, what are you guys actually using for international payments? looking for something that's popular in the US, easy to use, and doesn't turn into a headache on either end what's the move?

  I always use the PayPal pay later option, where they break down your payments into 4 payments of like $18 per payment. It's convenient AF and it doesn't hurt as much as dropping a lump sum of $70 on a game.🤷👊🫡

  I need to stress that this is NOT Anti-X on my part. This is constructive criticism: this is clearly something that's broken (another follow of mine is getting almost all of her posts blurred, including a static photo of a kitten). And I'm currently going to have to ask PayPal Credit for a refunds on an xAI Supergrok that has been being billed two months after I canceled it. It's not unreasonable to ask for guarantees of safety and to fix demonstrable failures that could block access to private property before committing our money to you, even in an app we like and yse daily.

  @rob_trew To start, avoid contracts; paying up front is best. PayPal Pay in Four is good. Don't make a scene about it on social media. Learn from the mistake and take down all the links easily. If you are white label, contact the white label partner.
