From Fired to Full-time Bootstrapped Saas...

How does a computer programmer get fired from his job...then somehow manage to bootstrap a successful SaaS business?

Well, in this case, it started with something he was passionate about.

What is something in your work that you're particularly good at?

For Ben Adler it was keyword research.

As a niche site builder he had developed systems for finding low competition keywords to quickly rank sites and drive traffic.

And in January 2021 he launched his bootstrapped tool called Keyword Chef to help others do the same.

In the short time since, the tool has generated a large customer base and a scalable full-time income for Ben.

But there are tons of keyword tools out there, so how did he do it?

In an exclusive interview with Niche Pursuits, Ben discloses the secrets to his success.

From firsthand experience building Keyword Chef, Ben shares practical and tactical advice for business owners of all kinds including:

  • His unique approach to marketing and his business in general.
  • Why he chose pay-as-you-go over a subscription model.
  • What he wishes he knew when he got started.
  • And the one thing that has had the biggest impact on his success.
