I created a simple SaaS app, https://www.pageblox.com/ https://www.pageblox.com/ that makes $300 dollars a month. I think that in a year or slightly more it could break a thousand a month if I market aggressively. I think I was able to pull it off by targeting a very specific problem and its accompanying keyword phrase: "css layout generator". Over-simplifying, the steps are: 1. find a problem that people and have and its niche, low competition keyword that get about 5000-8000 searches a month 2. build a web based app that solves that problem 3. grow your traffic 4. a/b test and iterate
Marketing is by far the hardest part!
- adventured 13y agoHave you thought about charging $3 / month, or maybe $12 per year for this instead of a one-time purchase? If you're saving / hosting the layouts, in which users can come back and create new ones or alter old ones, it jives nicely with charging on a recurring basis. Throw in another service or two on top of what you already do, and the value proposition just keeps going up.
