مين أنت وايش البزنس اللي بديته؟
أنا Avneesh، المؤسس والموظف الوحيد في Savewise.
Savewise منصة تساعدك تزود نقاطك و miles و cash back وأنت تتسوق أونلاين.
يبحث في أكثر من 25 shopping portal (زي Rakuten) و offers على بطاقاتك (زي Amex و Chase) ويقولك كيف تstack deals عشان double discounts على أشياء already تشتريها.
Savewise المنتج الوحيد اللي يبحث في النوعين مع بعض، ويعرضها في سياق تسوقك.
عملاؤنا الأساسيون ناس يحبون يجمعون credit card points و airline miles، بعدها يحولونها first class flights و 5 star hotel stays. بس المنتج ينفع equally لناس تبغى save على كل purchase.
اليوم average 94 ألف ريال revenue / month.

كيف جاتك فكرة Savewise؟
الفكرة شي كنت already أسويه manually كل مرة أتسوق.
أcheck shopping portals كثيرة best rate، أحاول أremember offers على several credit cards same store. Exhausting.
Sites موجودة search one or other، none search both simultaneously.
Started building Savewise scratch own itch.
Built lots consumer products before في Instagram و Microsoft و Foursquare و Dropbox. Love building great user experiences solve problems، someone loves deal hunting و travel hacking، idea felt perfect intersection background و passion.
Idea Savewise "pre validated"، tons content creators و Facebook groups travel hacking space millions followers. All focus showing people find deals...manually. All needed create software automated this.
كيف أطلقت Savewise وحصلت على زخم أولي؟
Told world Savewise launch through Reddit و Facebook Groups و cold messaging lots content creators.
Response...indifferent. Didn't support enough data sources، product wasn't compelling. Started 3 shopping portals، nobody cared. Got 10، few cared. Got 15 portals و 2 credit cards، only then growth snowball.
Started targeting "wrong" audience. Initially focused people trying save money، "travel hackers" where found product market fit، even though product works both. Trial and error figure out.
No monetization plan beginning. Figured enough users eventually build more products charge. About 8 months، power users asked features said they'd pay.
Built them، sure enough paid.
Biggest lesson: how much raw persistence matters. Today see products go viral millions revenue "effortlessly".
Not Savewise story. Banned lots subreddits، shilled own product، cold messaged hundreds travel creators. Days away giving up 9 months in، persistence finally turn around suddenly.
ايش أكبر الدروس اللي تعلمتها من بناء Savewise؟
Initially bought .xyz domain (savewise.xyz). $10 ريال because uncertain idea. Lots platforms auto flag .xyz spam. Didn't figure 2 months.
Focused too much early "savers" instead "travel hackers". Trying failing appeal savers forced pivot travel hackers. Wish marketed different customer segments early.
Savewise went viral Black Friday r/Amex subreddit (500k users) site crashed demand. Hadn't planned biggest shopping weekend. Worked 20 hours/day 5 days straight.
Learned consumers hate subscriptions. Pro subscription power users asked. Quickly lots requests "lifetime deal". Willing pay upfront 2 years just not subscription. 97% revenue lifetime memberships.
Still not figured SEO. Google refuses rank site. Spent time SEO، realized couldn't rely Google growth، found lots other ways. Glad diversified traffic.
Combination technology infrastructure (cloud hosting، authentication، payments، analytics، admin dashboards) plus Copilot/Cursor helped build insanely fast. AI credit startups، don't sleep tools exist don't need build.
Used every "startup credit" available. Most tools run business free. Tools companies pay thousands/year، still fit free offerings. Why pay if don't have to?
Really believed idea. Even if wasn't business، product should exist world، committed building، hoped business come. No replacement raw hard work persistence. Probably work 70 hours/week، honestly love it.
كيف كانت استراتيجية النمو لـ Savewise وكيف وسعت؟
Tactics grow product getting "smarter" finding messaging target customers traditional channels: Reddit، Facebook، Instagram، email، etc.
Reddit، instead posting indie hacker subreddits، keyword alerts anytime someone mentioned "shopping portals"، "cash back"، "stack offers"، find way naturally plug Savewise. Key subreddits airlines credit cards، message mods request post، illustrate why product shared even self promotion.
Facebook Groups dedicated stacking deals (e.g. How Double Dip Rakuten). Had all data، export stores stackable discounts Google Sheet، share group (no self promotion violation)، link Savewise in sheet. Thousands users from this.
Cold messaged travel hacking creators over and over. Early ignored. Once "Pro" tier، offered free Pro membership try، suddenly paid attention. Helped product finally good enough.
Eventually major publications (Frequent Miler) thorough reviews. Authority space، review drove traffic exact target customers.
