Vol Zastavny is the founder of MySignature, an email signature generator ✍️

Check their site and you’ll see an example of the product. The software basically helps people create those fancy signature blocks and links you see at the end of some emails.

Amazingly, MySignature does about $700,000 per year in revenue 💰

Vol writes in a recent interview…

I started as a founder of Newoldstamp [another email signature generator], back in 2015 in Ukraine. That was a leap of faith as I quit my job and put all the savings I had into launching an email signature generator.

💡 How he came up with the idea…

I worked for a TV manufacturer… I joined them as a marketer and was responsible for branding as well.

As the company had lots of overseas partners… I wanted to incorporate standardized and branded signatures for all employees.

Unfortunately, at that time, there was no solution for making it centrally… This is what brought my initial thoughts about the email signature solution.

But…

I had no experience with SaaS, being an entrepreneur, software development, or launching my startup. But this idea had never left my mind. After a few months of research and finding a few competitors, I understood there was a niche and opportunity.

So Vol went ahead and built the product 🛠️

Sounds like Newoldstamp did well enough that Vol was eventually able to buy a competing business…

MySignature is currently our flagship product and was acquired in 2019 as a business extension to Newoldstamp. This allowed us to segment audiences and better solve their problems.

The products serve different segments of the market…

Newoldstamp was now targeting medium-sized businesses and small enterprises at the same time.

MySignature covered one-person companies and professionals from different industries.

📈 Their #1 growth channel…

SEO has stayed our major strategy for both products and remains for MySignature.

We have the top 5 positions on our major keywords in Google.

Vol apparently sold Newoldstamp in 2022 for $3.1 million 🥳

But it sounds like he still owns MySignature and that’s doing well…

MySignature revenue is almost $700K per year, and it is fully bootstrapped.

Vol’s advice for starting a business…

The best time to start was yesterday. So start today! 

The world is spinning fast, and most of the time, there won’t be a better moment. So if you have something in your mind, start validating it, researching, and acting.

Lastly, Vol came up with his business idea while still an employee. 

He noticed something his employer could be doing better, and eventually built a product to help with that.
