Overwhelmed with work, taking small steps, and delighting customers

This week starts with me explaining how I am overwhelmed with everything I am working on in and around Claritask (code, marketing, sales, growth) and what steps I am taking to not burn out

The rest of the show includes:

• Sales/Marketing/Growth struggles since it's not my main strength (having more faith and trusting the steps, while playing the long game)
• Trying to get the marketing/sales/growth in autopilot with affiliate marketing — Claritask Affiliate Program
• New Claritask Asset Page for affiliate marketers and media appearances (down the line)
• Delighting customers by recording personalized demos with Loom
• Starting Claritask LIVE Webinars — Claritask Webinars
• Contacting Affiliate Marketers (following up)
• NEW: Soft upgrade on Claritask without a credit-card (pay later)
• Sending out a 'salesy' Newsletter that didn't work: Direct link to that Newsletter
• The benefits of using apps like Claritask, built by small teams (getting responses/fixes much faster than on bigger apps/companies)
• Listening to Khalid, Nilüfer Yanya, and Better Oblivion Community Center
• Claritask expenses: StartupCosts.co/claritask
• Claritask income: on IndieHackers (hooked to Stripe)

What is Bootstrapping Saas?

Bootstrapping Saas is a podcast where I document my attempts at getting to $10K in MRR with my Saas products as a one-man show: designer, developer, marketer.

I talk about recent updates with my SaaS', conundrums, lessons, successful outcomes, and a few personal things here and there.

Once in a while, I bring in a guest and we talk.

The show is roughly prepared with bullet points, but mostly a free rain of thoughts with whatever is going on that week.

The first 40 episodes have been mostly about Claritask up until I exited: https://bootstrapping-saas.transistor.fm/episodes/claritask-sold

Starting with Episode 41 I cover more attempts, ideas, findings, and other potential products.
