    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.

    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. ❤

    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?

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.

    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
