Discussion on finding SaaS ideas people are already paying for and carving out piece for yourself.

I've built a lot of things over the years. I've even been lucky enough to be the #6 top product of the day. That has not meant rain falling from the sky or, for that matter, people using the service if I try to charge for it. I was masterminding on an Instagram message session with a friend about making profitable micro saas. I realized something pretty solid. ***Make things that people already spend money on. *** This is, however, not always as straightforward as you'd think or, for that matter, attainable because of the competition from large funded teams. How many of you have exited a SaaS? Alone. Not funded. Who has been making a living off their SaaS for over 8 years or more? I love making fun app ideas. The hole developers like myself get stuck in is making these fun side projects because we fear we will not take some of the money from the already paying customers' spaces. Because of the fear of competing against funded companies, we make fun apps that people don't typically spend money on, or you find free Everywhere. Let's start a discussion on identifying, competing, and SaaS ideas that people already spend money on and expect to not get for free. :)
