🚀 August 2025 honest update for my new YouTube SaaS - OutlierKit

 
💰 MRR: barely any ($120MRR)
😥 Expenses: too painful to measure
🤗 Customers: can count on my fingers (6)
💔 Churn: too scared to calculate (1/6)
 

Few thoughts:

  • Building this with 2 other friends (
Aditi Chaturvedi and Jose) so its fun and exciting..
  • Been in stealth for 6 months (wasn't sure of the ICP/value prop/market)
  • Public launch just yesterday and got some great feedback (and customers) so far
 

Marketing channels we've tried:

  • Reddit ads (didn't work, cold audience that doesn't convert)
  • Organic reddit (some positive results - branded searches)
  • X replies (some positive results - direct traffic)
  • 1:1 Outreach - great to get feedback and improve the product. AND get some testimonials in the early days..
  • SEO - surprisingly, getting traffic and some trials from organic BOFU blog posts..

Focus for September -

  • Public launch via launch platforms (in progress)
  • Get feedback and figure out real painkiller features
  • Fix and test pricing (still figuring out the AI token system)
  • Fix pesky bugs and improve UX
  • Continue with all marketing strategies listed above
  • Try out influencer marketing.
