While academic editing services attracted traffic, it couldn't thrive as a business, marking one of Neil's initial and impactful lessons: monetary incentives alone are insufficient motivators.

Hello Neil,

How bad it is not thinking ahead of time how to generate revenue from a SaaS product ?

Alex/Neil Hats off to you guys, much appreciate your valuable time !

Like Neil, at 15 I wanted to be rich too. Unlike Neil, at 15 I was too stupid to think of a business idea.

I was pondering whether I should go with a free plan for my SaaS, but now I have my answer.

Q: Before you’ve built 3 successful businesses you probably failed a lot. How did you manage to keep your morale high and not quit? How did you develop a strong will to succeed despite the odds?

Neil,
So good to see pasionate people talking about their passions 🙂

Question: What would you do (as a business) with 500.000 $ worth of data center infrastructure located Europe? We really do not want to “just sell hosting” in an already very crowded market!

Appreciate any insight you might have on this!

Thank Alex for the post.

Hi Niel.

Its great to read about your mistakes. I’ve a question about content marketing. While writing posts, I often struggle to decide between whether to optimize for SEO (Keywords related to our product) or write helpful content (like this post).

I understand that we should write for the user & not for Google but how could someone land on our website if the content is not optimised for SEO?

Ex: Groove’s blog has lot of subscribers & hence Alex can afford to ignore SEO and focus on quality content. But what should be the strategy for someone who is just starting out?

Thanks in advance.

Alex, thanks for the post.

Neil, thanks so much for taking time here.

I have a question about driving traffic to your content. Writing relevant content that addresses problems and converts is one piece of the puzzle. But the notion that “if you build it, they will come” usually doesn’t hold up. At least not immediately.

What strategies would you suggest to jumpstart awareness that your content even exists?
