How I Started a SaaS Business From Nothing
How I Started a SaaS Business From Nothing |
On this channel, I share stories about how to build, scale, and exit SaaS businesses, usually taken from the examples and lessons learned from my journey with my last startup – ToutApp. But I've actually been building another SaaS business from scratch since last year, and I'm doing things slightly differently this time around. In this video, I'm going to show you the three steps I took to build this brand new SaaS startup from nothing.

underrated
I can not find any idea!
I actually have tons, but there’s already a solution for all of them!
Hey. Great video. Just a small feedback: You might consider making the videos shorter and getting to the point quicker. It literally took you 4 minutes of the video just to get to the first point.
Don’t take this as a hate. The video is pretty good. But it could be better if you got to the point quicker 😉
@Blaze Keenan Wow! Took roughly 20 mins but it actually worked!
i dont know if anyone gives a damn but in less than 15 minutes I hacked my girlfriends Instagram account by using InstaPwn. Find it on google if you care
Thanks Pepa, I appreciate the feedback!
YES!!
YES!!!
hey TK. Concerning pre-launch of the SAAS business. How soon before the actual launch of the service do you start building the audience? also concerning pre-launch and you giving out the idea of the service you’re about to build. how do you manage competition during that pre-launch phase?
@TK Kader thanks bro
I say start building your audience from day 0. It’ll help you validate your product early as well. As for competition, they’re probably going to copy you once you launch anyway so majority of times it is kind of a bad excuse from deferring the activities to get your message out there.
how is this playlist free!?
What does the method of building the audience and then building the product look like for traditional SaaS businesses. For example: booking platforms for businesses in a niche market
If you’re going for an existing category and there’s existing competition, I’d start by figuring out what my differentiation is in the market. I’d then pick off 10 to 50 of the buyers in that market and stress test it with them.
How did you research the macro trend?
Honestly, that’s hard to explain in a comment. There’s a whole process around it and it’s what I teach inside of my coaching programs. A simple 3 step
process won’t do it justice which is why I don’t go into it in the public videos.
How to find niches or need in market to build saas product
I really did enjoy the main content! First time watching your vids and I’ll definitely watch more, but I have some feedback:
Half of the video sounds like a sales pitch. This may discourage new viewers from ever watching your content again, decreasing your potential audience and therefore revenue.
The best sales are straight to the point!
Keep up the vids 🙂
Thank you for the feedback Dylan! And welcome to the community!
what if someone doesn’t know coding or not a software engineer but got some ideas
Is it possible for him to go for SaaS business, i mean for development
u can use bubble.io
These days, SaaS is more competitive than ever. You’ll need to pair up with a technical Co-Founder so you can build something that is able to compete.
Yes!
Yes!
What about the legal side? When did you form your corporate structure? How did you move your SaaS product to it?
My preference? Set up a legal entity to keep things clean.
TK Kader Fair enough. Mainly just asking cuz we got a partner. A lawyer friend just said we should try to make money first. Then when we do, we can talk about formally incorporating.
Was just asking for future reference. Lol
Not as important on what I did. Best for you to consult a lawyer to ensure you’re doing it the right way.
Discovery before delivery is the way to go. Great job! 🙂
what you mean when you say microtrends?
Macro Trends: they’re big world changing events that are happening that drives the need for your specific software solution.
What if you’re an entrepreneur with no tech background?
Ask around. Look at Upwork. There’s a way.
Hard to start a technology company without technology expertise on the team.
