May 2025: SaaS Lessons, Gaming Wins & Building a Smarter Future

Before we dive in, why not take a quick peek at my portfolio: https://priyalraj.com, & while you’re at it, check out my SaaS venture: https://shavelinks.com, it’s where innovation meets simplicity.

How May Went: Some Surprises & Cool Progress 🌱

This month was full of small wins. I got new clients for my SaaS. I also finished some games on my YouTube channel and started planning a tool that can help with Salary Guidance. Here’s what my May looked like.

1. New Clients for ShaveLinks

This was a surprise. I got 2 paying clients for ShaveLinks, but neither of them used my payment gateway. Instead, they messaged me directly and asked for UPI payments. They had custom needs, so I gave them a personal plan as per their needs.

It reminded me: Sometimes, a personal touch works better than automation.

2. Gaming Update: Finished The Walking Dead + 100 Subs 🎉

I finally completed The Walking Dead Season 1 and 2.
Honestly, the story hit me hard. It’s one of those games where your choices matter, and the characters stay with you.
And the big news — my gaming channel, CaptainPlayz, just crossed 100 subscribers! 🥳

🎮 I stream every night from 10 PM to 12 AM IST, and it’s been super fun to hang out with viewers and play story-based games.

Note: I stream in Hindi only, but if you just want to chat, feel free to join. I am comfortable with English too.

3. A New Idea: AI Salary Mentor 💡

This month, I started thinking about building a new tool. If you’re like me and earn from multiple sources — for example, freelancing, SaaS products, gaming, or content creation — tracking all that income can get messy fast.
So, I came up with the idea of a salary guidance tool that helps organise and manage income from different places.

I can’t share too many details just yet, but if you’re interested in helping me build it, please fill out this form and support by sharing it too: SalaryToolForm.

4. A Few Things I Learned 🧠

May taught me some useful lessons:

• Talking to people works. That’s how I got 2 clients.
• Playing games + streaming = fun + growth.
• Solving your own problems can lead to good product ideas.

What’s Coming in June 🚀

Here’s what I’m focusing on next month:

• Build and test the first version of the Salary Manager
• Start The Walking Dead Season 3 on stream
• Reach out to more potential clients through DMs

That’s all for May! It felt like a quiet month on the outside, but a lot happened behind the scenes. I’m happy with the progress.
