Hey Guyz it’s Salem

After my $50/mo burn rate post blew up on Reddit, I watched you all upvote, comment "this is the way," then do absolutely nothing. Peak wantrepreneur behavior.

Here's what actual execution looks like. An indie hacker from my Discord just shipped an AI legal doc generator:

Fundamental Truth #1: Revenue Generated

  • $2,345 MRR from standing start

  • Zero coding (not even no-code, literally NO code)

  • 4 AI tools doing the heavy lifting

  • Ramen profitable on day one

Fundamental Truth #2: Tech Stack

  • Claude 3.7: Co-founder/strategy ($0)

  • V0: Landing page that converts ($0)

  • Cursor: Full-stack dev ($20/mo)

  • ChatGPT: Growth hacking ($0)

  • Google Ads: CAC optimization

  • Total burn rate: $120

Critical Variables:

  1. Conversion rate: 4.7% (against 2.1% SaaS benchmark)

  2. AOV: $59 (sustainable unit economics)

  3. CAC: $11.20 (5.3x CAC:LTV ratio)

  4. Net margin: 81% (vs industry 62%)

Your actual problem isn't product-market fit. It's your refusal to ship a v1 MVP.

Here's your action plan, starting now:

  1. Open Cursor today. Prompt: "Build a functional AI [your niche] generator with GPT-4, Stripe payments, email notifications"

  2. While that builds, create landing page with tiered pricing ($29/$99/$149)

  3. Set up Google Ads account targeting keywords under $3.50 CPC

  4. Launch within 24 hours, no exceptions

  5. Measure AARRR metrics daily, optimize weekly

Course correction triggers:

  • If CAC exceeds $15, pivot keywords immediately

  • If conversion < 2%, redesign landing page within 48 hours

  • If churn > 5%, audit ICP-product alignment

Accountability measure: Post your MRR screenshot in 7 days or admit you're just here for the copium.

This isn't some mastermind upsell BS. It's a meta-analysis of what's actually working in micro-SaaS right now. The gap between $0 and $2,345 isn't your tech stack or your ICP research—it's your unwillingness to ship instead of plan.

Ship or GTFO.
