Thank you so much! This helped me a lot with a problem that I need to fix.
The real way to make money is have a KZread channel that takes advantage of the dream to make money. Now you have 5,000 new chat and review apps coming to market today. A little bit saturated. No one makes money except the KZread channel that pretends this is a viable option.

Absolutely. Most ideas that are advertised are surely saturated or over-saturated. Otherwise, they'd save it for themselves and figure out how to capitalize it for themselves.

well you wouldn’t use the examples in the video lol you would find another service that you can improve. The video definitely makes it look a lot easier than it is. Creating a fully functional software service, and company, and marketing is a lot and probably would take a year at least to be profitable. It is still a viable strategy even if the video is in the “make money fast” category
As a developer my recommendation on this is to take time to choose and work on something from the inspiration you actually like. Because these products actually take MUCH longer than you think to build. Don’t focus on the money aspect only because money that doesn’t exist won’t inspire you to get through the tough times of building a product. So just make sure you enjoy the process and have some interest around the topic/market. Wonderful video. ❤

This is really helpful, I've been making ideas on the wrong things. I have a focus now. Huge thanks.
Every startup idea is taken. BUT, not every audience is taken. Can you take an existing idea and: - make it simpler or more accessible? - sell it to a smaller niche demographic? - sell it to an entirely different industry? Also, large entrenched products often create more problems; Can you: - build something to simplify or teach its usage? - build a plugin to expand its functionality? - create a tool (api/zapier, etc.) to combine it with another product?

Hi, I'm looking for software engineers to develop my SaaS product in partnership
This is an amazing video. Its a small thing but massively ignored. I used this strategy to find a good SAAS niche. As a software engineer I am creating a SAAS tool that I will majorly use for my side hustles, there are some tools in that category but they are too expensive or not fitting my use cases or how I would like it. Even if no one uses it will still be useful for me. Thats how I think good SAAS are made, be your own customer first.
I'm working on a product that's basically a highly simplified Asana. It's for a niche business and I'm using in-person networking to find customers. I'm not charging per user, like Asana does, and it only has a handful of features, because that's all these businesses need.

Hey Ryan, I’m building a Project/ documentation / activity monitoring tool. Any chances that we could collab?
This seems like a good idea. I do wonder how long it'll be profitable before the company does it themselves. Or maybe buys you out, which I'm guessing is sort of the goal.

It's not about finding a product idea. That's a rookie mistake. It's all about building something for people who you have access to and their willingness to pay for your product (which is rooted to the original problem they're willing to solve).
Awesome video!
Very helpful!
Wow glad to watch this random one 👍🏽
Which is that font you used in the "Proven Market"?
Take this a step further by specializing in a specific feature for a particular niche or sub niche. Have your core functionality, then simply add 1 or 2 additional features that would be specific to that industry.

If you have a business with bad reviews it’s because you sell bad product. You don’t need a 20 a month bot to reply to the negative review
People are saying that the market is already saturated and all sorts of things to discourage themselves. Yes, it's true that the market is saturated, but that shouldn't stop you from researching your SaaS ideas. I'm a developer and an e-commerce enthusiast. The fact that new e-commerce startups are popping up every now and then show that I can establish mine and make it to the top.

All is good upto the end but how to build a SAAS product. whome i need to hire. From where I can get the product development done by addding the required features. who can build me a A-Z Products without any bugs so that we can sell it. And i think to develop a Saas a one web developer is not sufficiant we required software developer, a backend developer, and much more. can you tell which softer can helps us build saas products with algorithms for required features. Thanks
I created sass similar to one, but what? No one use it. I don't know how to find users for it.
great video
Why didnt i found ur channel earlier . I got a headache for quite 4-5 months for starting SAAS
1:25 They scarifice quantity for quality. I think you mean the opposite - they compromise quality for quantity.
i know a saas who is basically a private school compared to canva like it’s a uni... if that makes sense
what is the website that you show at ~2:00 showing the revenue for socialintents? It looked like producthunt for SAAS. it showed posts, followers, revenue, etc.

all you gonna need is find a good saas and then provide what the most of this saas not providing, then either grow it or sale that to some good company
Google notifies you about a review anyway. That hypothetical Saas makes no sense

"At a lower price" -- and there's the kicker. It's a race to the bottom if your marketting strategy is based on undercutting, full stop. There are no exceptions to this. You're just a pick salesman during a gold rush.
@JagjitBrawler
11 ай бұрын
While you’re definitely right that a marketing strategy based on undercutting is unsustainable (and also a bad idea lol), I don’t think that’s really his point here. What he’s suggesting, rather, is to specialize or niche down on one aspect of the product and do it cheaper - which is very different from just undercutting your competitor and I think actually makes sense. Using the review tracker example, if you’re a small business that only wants to track google reviews and get notified whenever a bad review comes in, it wouldn’t make any financial sense to pay $800 up front just to track one location. Having a tool that just lets me track google reviews is enough for me and I’d be much more willing to pay $20/mo for it too. I don’t see why that wouldn’t work if done right and it’s good for the smaller customers too bc they get value for their money. It’s also more sustainable bc it’s not like you have to build or host a ton of other features that would bloat the product. A lot of competitors get started this way by taking competition from smaller customers/niches that feel underserved and offering them a more affordable plan but less feature rich. Now the hard part from there is to scale in a way where you don’t lose those customers
Isnt your solution that, what google is giving you for free?
@millionaire-millennial
Жыл бұрын
No, it's making it easier for a business to keep track of their reviews in 1 place. Also - many many SaaS products do what could be done free, but businesses want it to be easier/faster than the free way so they gladly pay for it.
