This tutorial is about building a small, profitable SaaS webservice from scratch and making it earning $1000 per month. This has nothing to do with multibillion unicorn startups, I’m just describing my experience. It’s about a useful, robust, and profitable tool that anyone can make. And the last point, this webservice has been made for the Russian domestic market, so I’ve translated everything into English and USD for convenience. Otherwise, this experience is pretty general and could be adopted anywhere.
Hey, it happens. I believe the solution is being able to separate the signal from the noise and to go full perfectionist on the parts that really matter.
Thanks for posting, it is very interesting to see the data from a real pricing experiment. I'm not sure what you're using for transaction processing, but I think that could affect the rankings due to larger percentage transaction costs on smaller transactions.
Thank you for reading! You're right, some of the payment gateways I used had a flat rate processing fee in addition to their standard fee. But for this experiment I picked a gateway without any additional costs.

If you'll decide to use it, feel free to ask me anything. They're pretty straightforward but has some difficult parts.
