Micro SaaS Toolkit

Start with your expertise

What industry do you know deeply? Your insider knowledge is your competitive advantage.

Look for manual processes

Find tasks people do repeatedly in spreadsheets or with multiple tools.

Validate willingness to pay

If they are already paying for a worse solution, you have found gold.

Ship in 30-60 days

Build the smallest thing that solves the core problem. Add features later.

Use existing tools

Stripe for payments, Vercel for hosting, Resend for emails. Do not reinvent wheels.

Charge from day one

Free users rarely convert. Start at $29/month minimum. You can always adjust.

Direct outreach works

Find potential users on LinkedIn or niche forums. Personal messages convert 10x better than ads.

Offer founding member pricing

50% off for life in exchange for feedback. These early users shape your product.

Show up where they are

Reddit, Facebook groups, Slack communities. Be helpful first, pitch second.

Focus on retention first

Keeping customers is 5x cheaper than finding new ones. Nail the experience.

Add annual plans

2 months free for annual payment. Instant cash flow and better retention.

Build in public

Share revenue numbers, lessons learned, and challenges. Transparency attracts customers.
