Hi there
Thanks for signing up to the High Signal newsletter.
Sorry for the late send - I was busy on calls selling ghostwriting. Someone recognised me in a cafe today from my website. It was random but it was nice to meet another marketer.
Thanks to Bunty for sponsoring this edition:
Stop burning your SaaS runway on Google Ads.
Most bootstrapped founders "gamble" on ads by spending money without knowing exactly when or if it will turn a profit. Bunty SomRoy helps you stop the bleeding. He scaled Time Doctor from $4k to $80k/mo while slashing their payback period from years to months.
Now, he’s offering High Signal readers his PPC for MRR Scaling Roadmap.
• Measurement Infrastructure Plan: A blueprint to align your back-end data with Google Ads so you can optimize for MRR and payback periods
• Keyword Efficiency Report: A clinical look at which keyword segments are wasting budget and which "tried and true" SaaS buckets are currently missing.
• Full-Funnel Conversion Audit: A review of your landing pages to identify where you're losing users The scale plan is typically priced at $499. High Signal readers can request it for $297 by scheduling a call here: https://redpinedigital.com/contact/
The "Founder" Guarantee:"If I don’t find at least $1,000 PER MONTH in wasted ad spend or new revenue opportunities, I’ll refund your $297 immediately. You keep the plan." - Bunty SomRoy

$10k from directories
Piotr has a few different directories on the go, the biggest being a list of open-source alternatives. I've seen loads of people mentioning his EuroAlternative website recently as some people look for European options for software.
He also has a boilerplate for making directories so it's cool to see him attacking this space. He made over $10k in January.
Directify sold for 5 figures
Venelin bought a "build your directory" SaaS that was listed on Marc Lou's TrustMRR site. It seems like the new place to buy and sell indie startups!
X API changes
X/Twitter has changed it's API prices. Infamously, X hiked their API prices a while ago, which led to some indie hackers to sell their businesses. Now, people can build all the social media schedulers they want as the API doesn't have a minimum monthly cost any more.
EU Inc
There are changes afoot as the EU works to make entrepreneurship less bureaucratic. The aim is that anyone should be able to create a startup online across the EU and that there should be a single legal structure, which should boost investment and cut red-tape.
.ai domain price increase
Look out for some big price jumps if you own any .ai domains.
