Why I want to build SaaS?

A significant number of people define work life balance wrongly in this world. At least in my difinition work life balance is not the typical thinking which usually people thinks of working for 8 hours, play for 8 hours and sleep for 8 hours. I would say work life balance is more towards working very very hard for 2–3 years and then enjoy for the rest of my life.

This is the main reason why I always wanted to built a SaaS product. But why SaaS?

1. Recurring Income

Building a SaaS product is not easy but once u acquire a customer, they will continue to give you profits every month. A subscribtion based model let you earn income every month. All you need to do is convert a member to a paying customer.

2. Working not like a Prostitute

Other business model require you to lick people ass in order to secure a job. Once the job done you will have to lick another peoples ass. It will be never ending process and tiring. Saas business model let you acquire a client using digital marketing. All you need to do is just finding a product that solve peoples problem. Find the right group of people that are finding your solutions. Give a trial period to em and start solving their problem. Once they stuck with your product, they will use it forever.

3. Help people solve problem

Do you realize that when you can solve a people’s problem you will feel good and you will have the positive vibes go into you. Your will be more energetic and wanted to help more people. Providing a solutions to a group of people using SaaS will have the same feeling as you create a software to help people solving their problem. This is the answer on WHY you should create a good product.

3. Focus and Invest

a Saas product would need your full attention during the start and the amount of time you spend will be exponential in the future. Promoting a product worldwide is not an easy task as you have to gain attentions from the millions of users. You have to acquire new skills such as Digital Marketing Skill. With this kind on knowledge you are investing on yourself and on the product. The journey that you go through is a valuable experience where you cant learn in a college degree. Therefore take an action from now on. Dont just let your idea drain away. No harms trying.

Above are all the reasons that I also create my own SaaS. My product havent been launch yet, but it will in near time soon. I will update this article once I have my product ready.
