Hey guys. I wanted to share my journey with Directify, a no-code directory website builder I've been working on, and how it's absolutely crushed its first month.

The Backstory

Like many of you, I've been grinding on side projects for years. I started to sell Starter Kits by the beginning of the year, and among them I had Directory Starter Kit. One of my customers who bought that, asked me "Do you plan to have Directory as a SaaS one day, to not care about hosting, fully no-code, easy setup, templates, etc". That's when the idea poped out and Directify was born.

What is Directify?

It's a no-code platform that lets users:

• Create directory websites in minutes
• Add listings, categories, and search functionality
• Add custom codes, styles,
• Monetize through paid listings and ads

The Numbers

• Revenue: $8199 in first 40 days
• Users: 263
• Directories created: 330
• Listings added: 3647

Key Learnings

1. Solve a real problem people actually have
2. Price competitively (starts at $24.5/month)
3. Focus on user experience
4. Provide killer customer support

Challenges

• Initial marketing was tough
• Lots of late nights debugging
• Constant feature improvements

Next Steps

• Add more template designs
• Provide more customizations
• Expand marketing channels
