i had no idea what i was doing.
never built a SaaS before. never done marketing. never set up payments. never wrote a privacy policy.
a friend who works as a property agent told me he spends almost an hour writing every listing description. every single one. that felt wrong. so i just started building.
week 1:
- built the product (AI listing generator)
- bought a domain
- set up auth with Supabase
- wired up payments with DodoPayments
- deployed on Vercel
- wrote zero marketing copy
then realised nobody knew it existed.
current status: live at propscribe.one, a handful of signups, zero paying customers.
what i learned so far:
- building is the easy part
- distribution is the actual job
- nobody cares about your tech stack
- the first 10 users are the hardest
if you're a real estate agent anywhere outside the US. This was built for you.
what's the hardest part of getting your first 10 users?
