I'm the CEO focused on marketing, and I'm teaming up with a friend who's handling the technical aspects to create a SaaS platform for cold emailing. We envision a subscription model with monthly credits, along with a landing page at 'domain.com' and an app interface at 'app.domain.com'. The core of our service will be built using n8n workflows, allowing users to upload lead lists and tweak ChatGPT prompts via our website. Ultimately, users should get their lead lists back in .csv or .xlsx formats with custom links added to each entry. I want to explore how to set all of this up affordably without relying too heavily on external services. What tools would be the easiest to use, and how can I ensure we manage credits and minimize errors? I'm also considering using Framer or similar tools for designing the landing page, keeping it separate from the app interface that might be hosted elsewhere. We're aiming for a straightforward setup without too many bells and whistles initially.

Your friend who's handling the technical stuff sounds like the right person to start with, but it's great that you're looking for additional perspectives! I suggest using no-code tools like Airtable for managing leads and payment processing. Combining that with n8n for workflow automation could help you save on costs and simplify things. You can also explore Framer for your landing page since it offers templates that make design easy without breaking the bank. As for managing credits, you might consider implementing a simple system using Airtable or a similar tool to track usage. Keeping things low-key and functional at the start is totally a smart way forward!
Definitely avoid building a spam generator! Make sure whatever you create adds value for users and complies with email regulations. If you focus on ease of use and clear communication, I bet you'll create something great! Just keep costs in check by choosing the right tools that can grow with you.
Totally agree with that! Keeping it ethical and effective can earn you loyalty. Remember to engage with your users and refine the service based on their feedback!
Yeah! It's all about starting simple and then scaling up as needed. The integration of everything really hinges on how your friend sets up those workflows. Good luck!
