This is inspiring, if anyone came to me with a SaaS idea to sell a timeline maker with premium plan $19/month I'd tell them to think of something else. At first blush, its too much a one off need, too cheap to have margin on marketing/sales, and there are free competitors.

To build what I just described into supporting a family fulltime is amazing.

You are not wrong on any of these points which is partly why it took so long.

If I could take a time machine back in time and give my younger self advice, I would tell myself not to try to start a timeline maker business :).

You must know a thing or two about SEO! Do you have maybe top tips or actions to take to rank up? I've this side project with a handful of customers happy to pay $60 a month, paid marketing never worked, I really really should spend some time on the weekends improving SEO
