Asim Akhtar's journey on building a SAAS empire. Aiming for $10 trillion value created.

Day 167

11:02 AM

Facebook ad account disabled.

Probably won't be unbanned any time soon.

Using another ad account for now.

All the more reason to create a SAAS, as right now I'm dependent on Facebook.


Yes, I could use Tiktok ads or snapchat ads or display ads...

Actually that's a good idea

If Facebook doesn't unban me then I might try those out.


I need recurring customers. SAAS provides that.

For now, I'll keep the Facebook ads problem... since ad account bans are only every few months.

Once I get big enough, I should be able to just fix it with another marketing agencies help + pay them off etc.

Anyway, SAAS. Long-term. Scalable. Independent of others (aaaalmost).

Maybe with another SAAS I'll have no obstacles. This one integrates heavily with Facebook.


15:08 PM


My Facebook ad account was re-enabled.

That's fast.

Looks like we're back on track then.

Maybe Meta's getting better? Maybe.

So, supplier 'cancel' button doesn't work since their API doesn't support cancellation if the order is in production (90% of orders)... very nice

The subscription cancellation works fine. Still waiting for Shopify's subscription API but I doubt they'll let me do it, so

I'll likely have to just have Recharge + Seal Subscriptions or whatever the people want


Just answered a decent backlog of emails... which showed me that my app is decent but still not there yet

e.g. it doesn't support multiple customer support emails/multiple shopify stores

E.g. if UK person messages on US store, then I don't have their data.

This is easily fixable but just an example


Oh nice Shopify just approved my subscriptions API request, gonna see if I can get that sorted tomorrow
