In this episode, we dissect how a solo developer reached 10K MRR by selling a niche SaaS product exclusively through WhatsApp. We explore the unconventional distribution strategy, the psychology behind WhatsApp-based sales, the challenges of scaling without a traditional website or app store, and the surprising advantages of direct customer relationships. We also touch on the importance of personal branding in such a model and how this approach could work for other niche products.
