Vibe-Coded SaaS Isn’t Converting? Turn It Into an RPG (4 Levels)
Your signups are coming in. Your revenue isn't. That's not a product problem — it's a game design problem. You built an unwinnable game.
In this episode I walk through the RPG Map framework — four levels every user has to clear before they pay, and the exact fixes that make each one winnable.
What you'll take away:
Why mapping your product to RPG elements (main quest, side quests, XP signals) instantly reveals where users are dropping
How to build a Level 1 signup flow that doesn't kill momentum before it starts
Why heavy onboarding destroys conversions — and what to show users instead
The blank state mistake that makes your Level 3 feel like a dead end
How to make your checkout feel like keeping progress, not making a purchase
Chapters:
00:00 Signups But No Conversions
00:27 RPG Map Framework
01:36 Level One Signup Flow
02:12 Level Two Onboarding
02:59 Level Three First Screen
04:07 Level Four Checkout
05:17 XP Signals That Convert
06:55 Offer And Resources
