Hello All,

Just checking if any freelancers are building any SaaS tool this week, let’s share ideas.

Thank you

So this started as a small experiment…

I was tired of seeing SaaS founders spend hours on cold outreach, writing emails that barely get replies.

So I tried something different:

Built a simple AI workflow that:

• Finds high-intent prospects (based on real signals, not random scraping)

• Personalizes outreach using their actual product + context

• Automates follow-ups without sounding robotic

Didn’t expect much.

But within a few days, it started bringing in consistent replies… and actual calls.

Not “10k leads overnight” BS — just steady, qualified conversations.

The interesting part?

Most SaaS founders I spoke to weren’t struggling with traffic…

They were struggling with:

→ Reaching the right people

→ Saying the right thing

→ Doing it consistently

Curious — how are you currently getting leads for your SaaS?

Cold email? Ads? Referrals?

I’m testing a few variations of this system right now, so happy to share what’s working (and what’s not).

I have experience in python, Linux, Web dev, cloud computing and currently a flutter developer. I want to make money by my skills.

Here I am after getting tired of finding clients on fiverr and upwork.

Anyone can share his/her opinion or suggestion which can help me. I will appreciate it.

Hey everyone,

I’m sharing my experience to understand what I might be doing wrong and to learn from people who’ve already gone through this phase.

I’m a full-stack developer , and I’ve been trying to get into freelancing through direct outreach (not using platforms like Upwork or Fiverr).

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

I started by reaching out to businesses in my local city and other cities across India. My initial goal was to land at least one client to build confidence before eventually targeting international clients.

Tried cold calling to understand how real conversations with potential clients work

Sent cold emails with some level of personalization

Used platforms like LinkedIn, Google Maps, and Instagram to manually find people/businesses to reach out to

Despite putting in consistent effort, I haven’t been able to get any clients yet.

After reflecting on this, I feel like my main issue is not effort—but lack of direction and clarity.

The biggest challenge I’m facing right now is: I don’t know how to find clients in a consistent and structured way.

Right now, my approach feels very scattered:

Sometimes I search on LinkedIn

Sometimes on Google Maps

Sometimes on Instagram

But I’m not able to figure out:

Which platform is actually worth focusing on?

Where my ideal clients are more likely to be found

How to build a repeatable system instead of randomly searching

Because of this, I’m not even able to properly scale outreach, since I don’t have a reliable way of finding the right people.

I’m confident in my technical skills since I’ve worked on real projects, so I don’t think that’s the core issue.

I also tried using AI tools for guidance, but most suggestions feel too generic (like “use LinkedIn”), and I’m struggling with the practical side of it—how to actually find the right people in such a large pool.

So I’d really appreciate insights on this from people who have figured it out:

How did you approach finding clients in a consistent way when you were starting?

Did you focus on one platform or multiple?

How did you narrow down and choose a niche?

What does a more structured outreach process look like in practice?

I’m just trying to understand what I might be missing and how to approach this better.

Thanks in advance 🙏
