I have a cool story to share with you today. This is about business, but this is also about inspiration.
This proves (once again) that if you want to do something, you can always find a way.
Today’s story is about a couple.
Both of them had a day job.
The guy was working in finance and the girl had a govt job. They were happy.
But there was a problem.
They couldn’t find enough time to travel.
They wondered – is there way we can build something that will allow us to travel more?
They started brainstorming.
What is one pain that everyone has?
They kept thinking and finally, they found an idea.
Hey, nobody loves receiving unnecessary emails. But unsubscribing to each one of them is a pain.
They immediately hired a developer from India using Upwork and they created:
A service that helps you unsubscribe from emails, easily.
Yes, that’s the service.
How did they market it?
Twitter ads + lots and lots of organic marketing (posting everywhere about it, every day).
That’s it.
This business now makes $7500/month and they now travel all the time.
Yes, the business does not make millions. But not every business needs to make millions.
Some can do fine with $7500/month.
Sometimes, we think so big that we can’t even start.
Don’t let your dream be an obstacle – that’s the moral of this story.
And creating a SaaS business is easier than you think.
Step 1: Idea (find a problem that’s unique, yet, easy to solve)
Step 2: Hire a team to build a simple version (I like Upwork)
Step 3: Market on Twitter (don’t go to FB or Instagram) – Start with Twitter if it is a SaaS
That’s it.
