I launched 2 products. First failed brutally. Second hit $5k MRR in 3 months. Here is what I changed. (i will not promote)

tldr: My first AI SaaS failed because I built blindly, outsourced marketing, and had no clear ICP. My second product hit $5k/mo in 3 months because I built an audience first, obsessed over SEO and distribution, and targeted a specific niche. I launched my first AI SaaS last year, kept it alive for about a year now. It's making less than $50 mrr and i'm thinking of closing it. Here's what went wrong: I just built what I thought was cool and useful without confirming any traction. Biggest regret is outsourcin
