Title: I&#x27;m the creator of Ekko - https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ekko.site&#x2F; - &quot;Create your business website in seconds, using your Facebook page&quot;.<p>Me: I&#x27;m a full-time software consultant (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;benhowdle.im&#x2F;), Ekko was intended as a side-project to generate passive income, not to be a fully fledged startup from day 1.<p>My aim was&#x2F;is to make it incredibly simple for small businesses to create and keep their business website online and updated. The user connects their Facebook Page to my service, picks a theme and their new site is online. Every time they update their FB Page, the website (on my service) is instantly updated. This part is free, as you have a subdomain URL. To add a custom domain, it&#x27;s a monthly fee.<p>I launched the SaaS in early 2017 and spent 3 months promoting&#x2F;pushing it out to my networks online. This led to a lot of positive feedback, but almost zero paying customers (in fact, only 1 person ever paid, then subsequently cancelled their subscription due to budgetary reasons). Since then, I&#x27;ve occasionally tweeted about it, and gone through various phases of motivation to properly push&#x2F;advertise&#x2F;market it, but that side of it feels completely unnatural to me, I&#x27;m far more happier sitting behind the screen, building the product.<p>It gathers 1-2 sign ups a week, but zero conversions.<p>My specific question is, what the heck do I do with it?<p>In my opinion, it is my most complete piece of software that I&#x27;ve released. Everything works nicely, payment integrations with Stripe and GoCardless, domains through DNSimple, themes are just a set of React Components, so they&#x27;d be easy for people to build. It seems a real shame for it to be sat online, doing very little. I really don&#x27;t want to abandon&#x2F;take it down, because I spent a <i>lot</i> of time building it.<p>Should I try and sell it? Should I just give up? Am I missing something blatantly obvious? If anyone&#x27;s got any advice, broad&#x2F;specific&#x2F;big&#x2F;small, I&#x27;m all ears.<p>If you want to drop me an email, I&#x27;m at hello@benhowdle.im
