Saas solopreneurship is now a thing, are you a one? Any advice for solo-founders?

We all have noticed that many folks tend to create their 1-person startups, 1-person media companies and achieve 1-person launches🚀! Those products are more and more AI-powered, use an increasing number of Saas services, and integrate more and more deeply (vertically) with the global Saas ecosystem. Looks like the technological barriers to entry to the Saas business are falling apart✨... Some talk of micro-Saas, vertical vs. horizontal Saas. Anyway, we cannot ignore how democratized they have become in 2023. Are you one of those solo saas guys? What do you think of this rising phenomenon? For the record, I'm a saas solo founder too🤩 All opinions/advice: more than welcome🙏

The trend of Solofounders and Micro SaaS started growing at the same time. I am pretty much solo building a few SaaS products, Newsletters around Micro SaaS - https://microsaasidea.com , Building a Micro SaaS community and a few other products. This trend will stay for a longer time with all layoffs, cost reductions happening.

@upen946 happy to have your feedback Upen🙏! Your micro-saas community and ensemble of tools offer looks super neat, congrats! Are you feeling that building this complete offer has become easier lately? More and more struggles/considerations or quite the opposite? Would be happy to read more of your insights about the direction "Micro-saas" products may be taking for 2023+

@said_aitmbarek You are partly right. Building the complete offer became easier by building connected products into one ecosystem. You might like my other posts on Micro SaaS here at https://microsaashq.com/insights

Yes, I'm a SaaS creator too with my first product called viaNotion which helps to manage and schedule content to Twitter and LinkedIn. I have been creating products too in the past but they were all free and run on donations. Now I see SaaS products are getting popular and with the advent of AI(mainly openAI tools) it got a lot easier to create products around AI. So as a result, just like you said, technological barriers to entry to the Saas business are falling apart. I think if one has a product that solves a problem in a better way than existing ones then there's a high scope to succeed.

@basharath thanks for sharing Basharath🙏 my feeling was that it was much easier than before to create a Saas: - with the help of no-code platforms - with the help of AI/Chatgpt-wrappers and APIs - quite easy to get started using a template or starter kit for a Saas I believe it's a really positive thing more and more people are given the right tools to build their own dreams/vision✨ As a solo founder, are you easily handling all the tasks by yourself? No particular struggle?

Hey there! As a solo Saas creator, I wanted to share some insights with you. One thing that's been really important for me is patience and resilience - it's not always easy, but it's definitely worth it in the end. When I first launched my product, Notificationpro- https://notificationpro.simplef.net, on Product Hunt, I didn't get the response I was hoping for, but I didn't let that discourage me. Recently, I've been seeing some real progress and have even gained some paid customers! I shared it on Indie Hacker- https://www.indiehackers.com/pos.... I've had to work hard to improve my marketing strategies, but I'm learning and growing every day. I truly believe that if we stay confident in ourselves and the quality of our product, we can achieve great things💪
