How a Solo Dev Hit 10K MRR With a Waitlist Strategy

In this episode, we dive into the story of a solo developer who built a SaaS product around AI-powered resume screening and hit $10,000 monthly recurring revenue before even opening the doors to the public. The key? A waitlist strategy that created scarcity, validated demand, and generated early revenue. We break down the exact tactics used, including a three-tier waitlist with cash deposits, a referral ladder that rewarded early signups, and a launch-day conversion rate of over 60 percent. We also discuss the risks of this approach, from cash flow management to the pressure of delivering on promises. Whether you're a solo dev or part of a small team, this episode offers a concrete playbook for building momentum before launch. #WaitlistStrategy #SoloDev #SaaS #PreLaunch #10KMRR #AIResumeScreening #ScarcityMarketing #ReferralLadder #CashDeposit #LaunchDayConversion #ProductValidation #Bootstrapping #IndieHacker #Technology #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #IndieHackerPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
