Hello everyone!
I built a lot of SAAS (Software as a service), sometimes it works, sometimes not. Create a software can be hard technically and can take all of your energy, that is why I always test the market before creating my final product. Testing your product/services as to be quick as possible, you don't want to waste your time on a bad idea right?
Last Sunday, I was on envato market (for the guys who don't know, it is a huge marketplace when you can buy some HTML templates, wordpress themes, ... ) and I saw many softwares for sale. A lot of them are made so that you can have client and earn money just after buying it (paypal integration, stripe). Anybody can wake up a Sunday morning and with some basic skills be an owner of a SAAS the same evening! Amazing!
Hold on! It is not easy as it seems! As Mister @MJ DeMarco said you need to have full CONTROL of your business and the ENTRY had to be difficult to make a profitable business. But what if you use this SAAS Licence to test your market and earn your first dollars?
Do not have CONTROL? If you're good enough at coding you can understand well the code and manage it.
You break the ENTRY point? The product is one thing, the brand that you personally built, the way you do marketing and communicate are many ways to make the barrier to entry difficult.
I think that SAAS licence is a good way to test your market (like an MVP), you can build a better product on your own after. What do you think?
Are the men who sell the softwares the winners? I saw many who do not make a lot of profit, I mean that they can make a better profit by using their SAAS instead of selling it. Perhaps, these people are just good at creating products and not on the business aspect so they decided to sell it (easy way).
I just want to know what do you think about this way to do business? Did someone experienced it?
Buying a software that everybody can buy could be profitable?
