Normally I wouldn't say anything but since it shows that a lot of work was invested to make this video I wanna say the only thing missing, truly missing are captions otherwise it is masterfully made.

[@SimonHoiberg]

That's great feedback! We'll look into adding proper captions.

[@pradeepspkt]

I am a full stack software developer who just quit full time job to work on my saas product. I do a little of video editing as well. I found a new inspiration on this new journey of mine. Keep inspiring.

[@sS4015]

you are my go to inspiration for business rather than moguls for your take on lifestyle busineses and bootstrapping:))

[@SimonHoiberg]

That's awesome 🙏 I'm super happy to hear that!

[@PMOguard]

i’ve been following you am for a while your quality is now next level. this must be a lot of effort behind the scenes.

[@SimonHoiberg]

Thanks! Appreciate it 🙌

[@khelloMz]

This channel it's so valuable. Can't believe did't reach to 1M yet. Best Simon.

[@SimonHoiberg]

Working on it 😁

[@founderled]

Editing is the best I've seen among any channel out there.

[@SimonHoiberg]

Really appreciate it 🙌

[@InternetDoggo]

These are some awesome tips and services! And production quality is immaculate as usual!

[@SimonHoiberg]

Glad you got value from it!

[@motionsofttech]

Simon what a great video , thanks a lot for your work ! For some of our clients we deploy the front end using next JS on Vercel. The backend is decoupled with Spring Boot API’s deployed on AWS ECS and use DynamoDB managed AWS service for persistence!

[@mikestrives]

Founderstack is 🔥

[@SimonHoiberg]

Thanks, Mike! 😁 Yeah, we really went all out putting a nice deal together here.

[@andreeac7875]

Wow! So many services I had no idea about!

[@SimonHoiberg]

You should check them out, they're excellent!

[@yassinbadermedia]

Nice and Thank you Simon, Bisch de hammer! Freu mich immer wieder vo dir zu lerne!

[@virenharsora6067]

So much effort put into making this video! Thank you. Could you please make detailed video on how to create right pricing model for SAAS?

[@SimonHoiberg]

That's a great suggestion!

[@expert2570]

Woah the quality man..good job!

[@SimonHoiberg]

Glad you enjoyed it 😁

[@eddiejaoude]

Amazing video Simon! Thank you

[@SimonHoiberg]

You're most welcome, Eddie!

[@VictoriaRudi-L]

You went ultra-granular on these steps while also zooming out to show the bigger picture. By the way, the video production is next level.

[@SimonHoiberg]

Thank you, Victoria! I'm glad you liked it 🔥

[@nbk5008]

Thank you for sharing so much cool and interesting knowledge with us

[@garudkardnyaneshwar3426]

Man you again nailed it❤

[@SimonHoiberg]

Thank you! Glad you liked it 🙌

[@hafizasad419]

Loved every second of the video. Can you please make a video on 5 SaaS ideas for 2025? I highly appreciate you Simon.

[@SimonHoiberg]

You're not the first to ask in the comments 😁

[@hafizasad419]

@SimonHoiberg so it raises the "concern" for you to actually create one video on this topic, doesn't it? 😁

[@marcelinblockform]

bro pls can you do a video on how you manage to make these videos, they look so fcking good!

[@SimonHoiberg]

Haha thanks man 😁 You're not the first to ask - will definitely see if a walkthrough could fit in.

[@DIY4Profit]

I am AWS certified love it.. but didnt get the point of using coolify as you still need always to take care of the size of your instances to match capacity so its doesnt matter cost wise - maybe deployemtn wise its better.. Thanks for video

[@darrenhinde2971]

Another great video!

[@SimonHoiberg]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 🙌

[@peter3.024]

Hey Simon, I remember you used to sell a JavaScript template or some kind of product for programmers. Could you explain what it is?

[@VaibhavShewale]

how did ya remove the background? cause i know ya not using green screen

[@SimonHoiberg]

Yes, it's greenscreen 😊

[@thearcticmonkey]

What database did you use after leaving Supabase?

[@FightIQMMA]

What camera and software do you use for filming and editing?

simon just for the amount of effort you put in the video , i believe soon youll have many millions subscribers . Keep up the good job Thqnks for the content

[@SimonHoiberg]

Really appreciate it 🙌

[@geoffl]

this guy living in the future with his optimus coworkers

[@SimonHoiberg]

They're helping me produce these videos 😁

[@CodeZakk]

awesome video! my question is mailgun and other tools like that are optimized to go to user inbox when sending(not spam folder). is aws ses optimized for that??

[@SimonHoiberg]

Yes. AWS SES generally has better deliverability than Mailgun, SendGrid, etc (unless you're using their dedicated IPs, but that's often much more expensive).

[@Aspiiire]

Amazing video, Hetzner it's really an amazing service

[@SimonHoiberg]

I'm a big fan of Hetzner too!

[@jarad4621]

Pabbly and not n8n self hosted?

[@SimonHoiberg]

I was considering suggesting n8n too, but last time I tried it was quite steep to get it up and running - and wanted to suggest something a little more no-code friendly. It could have changed since, I actually haven't changed out n8n recently.

[@GABRIEL_C_R]

How about hetzner and ovhcloud?

[@SimonHoiberg]

Haven't checked out ovhcloud. Will take a look and maybe bring them in the future. Thanks.

[@GABRIEL_C_R]

@SimonHoiberg they might be even cheaper than heztner. But heztner is great.

[@mohammedshakeel8127]

Hey Simon you blast❤🎉

[@SimonHoiberg]

Thanks! Glad you liked it 😁

[@artemcodes]

Thanks for the informative content! I was wondering how did you create terms of use and privacy policy pages for your SaaS?

[@joelmaloba9472]

Is your background real ? Looks cool.

[@SimonHoiberg]

@@joelmaloba9472 Nah, it's CGI 😁

[@joelmaloba9472]

@SimonHoiberg Cool ! Thank you! Goog job. 👍

[@yassinbadermedia]

Hi Simon I would love to buy into founderstack, as well as shuffle, just a little tight over the holiday with my budget, any chance you could extend the price to January? or any chance I could have a one-time discount, I could use next month? I know I will need your solution at some point to build out my own SaaS solutions, just at the moment I am more focused on finishing the projects on hand. Just wanted to secure the Lifetime Deal somehow with the extras.

[@SimonHoiberg]

Hey man! Can you write to [e-mail] and refer to this message? Let's see what we can do. And just for the record, shuffle.dev is not our tool - so it's not a part of founderstack, it's a separate SaaS. Not affiliated with it in any way, just a personal recommendation 😊

[@KingJayce]

quality vid! how did you get this unique background?

[@SimonHoiberg]

Built in Blender 😁

[@tomantony6495]

What about creating saas for content creator to validate promotional mails with link since most of the people lost access of their account through this social engineering.

[@tomantony6495]

Gmail doesn't have built in antivirus tool detect this spam filter doesn't always work

[@heyderekj]

re: Webflow export code... in my experience it's very clean. So much so that a Laravel app dev was using it with ease. Curious to know the specifics here as maybe the way it was developed was messy and so that will then generate messy code.

[@lukq90]

Is one-time deal profitable in long term? You have monthly service costs

[@SimonHoiberg]

Yes, in our case, we make this work. But if you're considering a deal like this, make sure to do proper financial planning.

[@techwithib]

as a student, i was waiting for this. Simon, what do you think about clerk auth? is it worth it

[@SimonHoiberg]

I think it gets expensive pretty fast! Not far from Auth0. We're using KeyCloak which is free and open-source - but it has quite a learning curve to set it up.

[@kaluchuxy4537]

Talking down on other people's businesses to promote your business. The AWS hosting to talked about. You forget to tell people that you need technical knowledge to configure it whereas some companies lift the stress as PAAS.

[@TomNook.]

Not by much. And long term it's so much better for you and your team to learn that stuff yourself Vs outsourcing it

[@codebytuaha]

Hey Simon! I love your content and your subscriber for being a while. Could you please make a video on payment gateway or best way to charge the customer? The thing is the great payment gateways like Stripe is not available in my country I want to charge my customer I was thinking to charge them directly through bank transfer is it a good idea? Thanks!

[@SimonHoiberg]

Best alternatives to Stripe - that's actually a great video topic suggestion 🔥

[@codebytuaha]

@@SimonHoiberg Thanks!

[@alphajay9768]

I thought I opened KZbin. How did I end up on Netflix??

[@SimonHoiberg]

Haha thanks 😁

[@Lona0909]

Could you create a separate KZbin channel where you could teach us how to create this kind of high quality videos? Could you atleast tell us what software do you use?

[@SimonHoiberg]

Certainly - using Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Blender 3D, Flux, Midjourney and more 😊

[@GamePlayByFaks]

Be realistic do it without budget.

[@SimonHoiberg]

You could, but if you have a small starter budget (can be very small), you'll get off ground better.

[@ViralBuzz25]

He spent so much in his wacko video edits that now he's 100% promoting high price affiliate products.. Come on!! Go back to when you legit "cared"... Now you're no different then the other gurus

[@SimonHoiberg]

As I've said many times (and apparently have to keep repeating): I *always* make it very clear if a product I'm promoting has paid me money to do so. I will also mark every video that contains promotions with the correct label. So you can trust that unless I make it very clear that it's a sponsorship, it's because it's not. These are all genuine recommendations of mine 😊 As far as the edits go - I'll take it as a compliment 😁 I edit all my videos myself. It takes time - but costs me nothing.

[@TanTan14332]

[@SimonHoiberg]

Det kan du tro 😁

[@sder-v2v]

Looks like you have lost the battle and are using a MacBook in these days 😅

[@SimonHoiberg]

It's actually CGI 😝 Most of the stuff on the table isn't real.

@ Haha, good. I thought you had switched side 😊. Still running Dell?

[@SimonHoiberg]

@@sder-v2v Yep 😊

[@JeffreyValeroso]

You look like an AI.

[@animemangas2877]

You use AI for your videos. It is not you

[@SimonHoiberg]

It's interesting how the development of AI for video now got so good it makes people doubt everything 😂 I use AI for a lot of things in the videos, but I'm still real.

[@gyol.a.i]

He actually knows to make this type of videos but not SAAS😢

[@Edu-bd6st]

we have a chance of 10% discount on who buys founderstack in the next one week from this video post?

[@SimonHoiberg]

It's already on an extra-discounted price! It'll probably go up soon, so grap it while you can 😁
