Alright, I see a lot of heat coming from people saying "building in public" is only about sharing the highs and amazing things that happen to you!

While this is absolutely false, I want to take this opportunity to share the lows we experience @shoutoutso_

A thread

In our 8 weeks of the public launch, we had 1 whole week of not making a single sale! https://twitter.com/5harath/status/1372226212001632257

Running a SaaS is not a fairy tale. If you are getting MRR that means you should expect some churn.

Here's our churn rate so far: We got 2 cancelations out of 55 paying customers and sitting on a 7% churn

We launched an Affiliate Program and made 0 sales out of it!

I intend to build @shoutoutso_ in public since the beginning! And I truly appreciate this community for joining me on the wildest ride of my life

Both @curtisjcummings and I are extremely grateful to everyone for the love and support you show us!

These lows are part of the journey and I treat them as opportunities to get better so there is no shame in sharing them openly.

If this thread resonates with you, give a RT and/or share your lows and set an example for others!

Thanks for reading
