The Journey Begins
Today’s story is about a couple. Both had day jobs—the guy worked in finance, and the girl had a government job. While they were content, they faced a significant issue: they couldn’t find enough time to travel.
The Quest for a Solution
They began brainstorming, asking themselves: “Is there a way to build something that allows us to travel more?” After much thought, they identified a universal pain point: nobody enjoys receiving unnecessary emails, but unsubscribing from each one is a hassle.
Introducing Leave Me Alone
They promptly hired a developer from India through Upwork and created “Leave Me Alone,” a service that helps you easily unsubscribe from unwanted emails.
Marketing Strategy
Their marketing approach was straightforward:
- Twitter Ads
- Organic Marketing: Posting about their service everywhere, every day
The Results
The business now generates $7,500 per month, enabling them to travel extensively. While it may not make millions, $7,500 per month is a substantial income for many.
Key Takeaway
Sometimes, thinking too big can prevent you from starting. Don’t let your dream be an obstacle. The moral of this story is that creating a SaaS business is easier than you might think.
Steps to Create a SaaS Business
- Find an Idea: Identify a unique problem that’s easy to solve.
- Hire a Team: Use Upwork to build a simple version of your product.
- Market on Twitter: Start with Twitter for SaaS products; avoid Facebook or Instagram.
That’s it.
