I always get a few users who are willing to pay but I can't live with 10 users paying one time 10$

You bill 10k/year.

Don’t charge $10 for an app, do a free version with ads?

Hey. What kind of dev are you? I have loads of ideas and know how to validate businesses as I do it for a living. Perhaps we can collaborate

Not marketing your app may be the real problem. Please tell me about your efforts in marketing. even the great apps go unnoticed because of this.

you are right. I mostly try to post about it on Facebook groups and subreddit. I'm not really sure how I can pass the word better for cheap.

Leave B2C.
Its the worst for a solo founder due to marketing, computational and so on expences

In B2B you just call random companies you found on the internet and tell em about your SAAS. Thousands of dollars of income per single company

I know how to solve my own problem but I have no idea what Biseness wants. It's maybe easier but I have no idea what to build...

Sometimes that comes from actually working in a business, it could help to work somewhere for a few years and then find out what parts of the job you could solve with technology

What is your app?

[–] badIuckbrother@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What kind of apps are you making?

Are you making them on iOS/Android?

Who are your customers (audience)?

Can you also make webApps?

How experienced are you as a developer and what are your skills when it comes down to marketing?

A) Freemium to premium… free version limits to x photos or watermarks the photos, they upgrade to have more capabilities.

B) SaaS… why have them pay $10 one time when you could have them pay $2.99/mo?

[–] perecastor@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think making paying someone 10$ once is much easier than 0.50$/mo

[–] clemxytech@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

do market research to know what people really want and will be willing to pay for

[–] MakGHill@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Honestly, If you can get 10, you can get 1000. How are you marketing?

As a solo dev, forget B2C and go for B2B.
There is more money to be made, and it's easier to cold email/call companies to sell your product.
Also companies usually don't care about paying a few hundreds bucks per month for your product if you solve a problem. It's just a small expense on a budget, so they just buy, it's much easier than B2C!
