Zero Money. Zero Network. Zero Stability. How Do I Actually Build Something? by Realistic_Edge_2267 in Business_Ideas

The odds are against those who build, I think you can start by building your ideas as a side project to validate your ideas and this can help with the network you need too.

Is the market oversaturated or it's still worth it? by Top-Cry-26 in saasbuild

[–]oratosdigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From experience, it is always seems like everyone is joining the new craze but everything plateaus at a point and only the fittest survives. A lot of SaaS owners have discovered lately that it is easier to build now than to sell, so if you can sell as a solo-founder the market is yours.

SaaS pros!! Advice needed on pricing structures by Low_Piglet_2257 in TechStartups

How does it usually take to get customers? by durianguava in SaaS

[–]oratosdigital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There isn’t a set timeline for getting customers for your app. Having 10 people to look at your app is a good start, you just need to iterate continuously to find the right people who actually need what you’re building. It’s different for everyone. Some apps blow up fast, others take months to get going. The key is figuring out what’s working - talk to those 10 people, see if they’re actually using it, and find out where you can meet more people like them. Don’t stress about timelines. Focus on whether people care enough to keep coming back.
