Built my first SaaS, got 1500 users but generated $0 revenue. I feel like I'm missing pieces I don't even know exist, could someone pleas throw some light for me to navigate
I'm feeling pretty lost right now.
I'm not a developer; I'm a non - IT engineer & while preparing for interviews couple of months ago which were keeping me anxious, I realized that this could be a problem that many of us face - when we have limited time at hand, and lots of notes to read & recall for an interview, or an exam, or a presentation. So I created an app to make this experience, a lot lighter, and quiz to make recalling information like a game, (quizes used to bring out a competitive streak for me like none other during childhood at school). I used AI tools to help me build it, learned as I built it, and managed to launch it last month. Today, I opened the analytics page and I was a very pleasantly surprised but the cloud of panic just took over when I know that inspite of all the visits, I have generated 0 revenue. Also I have no clue if my users are liking the app, or are visiting and leaving. I did go back and check the secrets, the webhooks (seemed there was a missing letter in the webhook, corrected it), added an entry into advanced DNS, and redeployed, but I have no clue if I am making progress, I am going to enable detailed analytics, so that I can understand where my users are dropping off, what is helping them, what's not helping them, but can someone please throw some light, I am lost, I am not sure if I am doing all the right things to get to the end successfully. also, I get overwhelmed with a lot of technical knowledge, though I am very analytical, and can grasp and even flow into concepts if someone explains with simplicity, accuracy and a sequence, thank you, it would mean a lot to me. apologies for my English, I keep typing continuously so if it's too many words all too soon, please bear with me
