We spent ~$70,000 and 9 months of dev time to put an "Add Domain" button in the @hostifi_net dashboard

Here's the story Image
We're managing over 2,000 VPS instances with 4,000+ domain SSLs that need to be renewed every 3 months (with @letsencrypt)

Over the years we built up internal tools and processes to simplify the SSL management Image
So when @yroc92 DM'd me in summer 2021 with an idea to make "an API for customer SSL management" I said it was a cool but we didn't need it because we have already built our own systems Image

A friend gave me a deep dive on the sales team structure at a mostly bootstrapped $10M ARR SaaS business

Here's what I learned:
There are two main roles:

Account Executive
• Hunts for leads and moves inbound leads
• Closer (does meetings and follow ups)

Business Development Representative
• Hunts for leads or moves inbound leads
• Schedules meetings for AE to close
Pay:

BDR
• $40K base
• Inbound: $50 per meeting set and no commission on closes
• Outbound: $150 per (qualified) meeting set + 3% close commission

AE
• $50-60K base
• 10-18% closing commission

How do I build a sales team?
The response to this was incredible. Thanks everyone!

Here's what I decided to get started with:

• Realized I need to create the sales process before building a team
• Signed up for @pipedrive
• Configured the integrations for Gmail, @intercom, @demodesk, and @aircall Image
I have one hire who does demos already, so we'll work together on next steps:

Phase 1 - Documenting, following up on demos inbound from the website

• Document each inbound demo as a "deal" in Pipedrive, moving it across the pipeline until it's either Won or Lost

It took me 4 years to figure out how to build a business from $0 to $100K/year in 1 year
$0 to $100K/year in 1 year was the easy part

It wasn’t hard to stay motivated because I could see the incremental progress each month
The hard part was the 4 years before that, building up the skills required to go from $0 to $100K in 1 year but without seeing any progress

I now own 1,024 public IPv4 addresses which are worth $60K

It took 3 months on ARIN's waitlist and it cost $500

I can do this a max of 3 more times, 90 days between each request

In the end: 1 year wait, $244K+ worth of IPs, only $2K in fees

Here's how
First, a brief history -

• 1960s APRANET invented TCP/IP
• 1980 IPv4 formalized with 4.2 billion addresses
• 1998 IPv6 created as a replacement with 340 undecillion addresses
• 2011-2015 All registries exhausted their IPv4 pools
• 2022 IPv4 blocks selling for $60/IP
Why not just use IPv6?

After almost 25 years, IPv6 only has 35% adoption.

If you only support IPv6 65% of the internet won't be able to reach you.

The buy, borrow, die method of avoiding income tax isn't just for the ultra wealthy

Someone should write a handbook on this topic for the average American and small business owner

Here's what I've learned so far:
First, a short intro on what buy, borrow, die is:

1. Buy - or build an asset like a house, business, stock
2. Borrow - When it appreciates, instead of selling and paying income tax, get a loan against it
3. Die - Pass down assets, instead of cash, tax free
I'm only interested in buy and borrow right now, here are the criteria:

- The thing you bought needs to appreciate in value before you borrow against it
- Ideally, when borrowing, you invest the money in something else which appreciates faster than the loan's interest rate
