looking for a SaaS business idea?

why not sign up to SoloCodeVenture.com?

you might find something interesting over there…

I love how everyday I open this app there’s someone new who followed me yet I think 90% of my followers are inactive…

In the end, it doesn’t take much to make us happy...

Have you already made your first MRR with your SaaS?

we need to do something about it…

thanks man!

SoloCodeVenture.com made me my first dollar.

This feels amazing

Keep working hard everyone

This is just the beginning of something big 👀

lacking clarity or feeling overwhelmed?

Try one of these (they usually work for me):

- Go for a walk
- Take a shower
- Meditate for 7 minutes
- Organize your workspace
- Write down everything that’s on my mind
- List all tasks I need to do and break them down

So, don’t stop.

Keep pushing.

Celebrate the small wins, because one day, they’ll turn into big ones.

You got this.

All this just to say that it's normal not seeing huge results right away.

You're not alone and that's the reality for most people.

But remember, in the end, all the work you put in today will pay off in the long run.

- Run paid ads (which brought in… 3 subscribers)
- Wrote every week for the past 7 weeks
- Reached out for cross-promotions
- Hired a designer for my ad
- Posted on Social Media

and more...

Are these results life-changing? Not yet. But that's fine

Not exactly the "overnight success" you get to see here on Reddit and social media but at least is real and I'm proud of it.

What have I done to reach this milestone?

...everything I could

Back in November I launched SoloCodeVenture.com, a newsletter to help developers find cool SaaS business ideas they could build.

Fast forward 2 months and I've hit the milestone: $0 MRR and 80 subscribers.

My Newsletter makes $0 MRR after 2 months with 80 subscribers.

Here's how I got there
[Thread 🧵]

And that was it for today

Again, as I said in the other post: entrepreneurship is just too much to summarize it in (two) X threads. This was just to give you an idea

If you want to start your journey but lacking on ideas, make sure to check out SoloCodeVenture!

4. Learning from setbacks and staying persistent

Failure isn’t the end - it’s a lesson.

Entrepreneurs face rejection, mistakes, and obstacles daily.

The real challenge?

Staying resilient and adapting.

3. Prioritizing tasks and making the most of limited resources

Time and money are limited.

Focus on what drives growth and solves problems.

Entrepreneurs don’t do it all...

They do what matters most.

2. Listening to users and improving your product accordingly

Your users are your best advisors.

Listen to their feedback, fix their pain points, and adapt.

Businesses that stop listening eventually fail.

1. Ensuring your product is profitable and scalable

Cool ideas don’t pay the bills.

Know your costs, set the right price, and ensure you can grow sustainably.

Without profit, it’s just a hobby.

Thread 🧵

Every week in solocodeventure, I share actionable SaaS business ideas tailored for developers. If you want to start your own SaaS check it out!

Your next big idea might be one email away!

And that was it (for now)

Entrepreneurship is a huge thing that can't be summarized in a thread, but I did my best

Stay tuned for future posts!

5. Networking with customers, partners, and collaborators

Your network is your leverage: you need people

Build relationships with people who can support, challenge, and make your own journey better.

Entrepreneurship is a team sport even when you're playing tennis

4. Convincing people to pay for your solution

It’s not about having the “best” product—it’s about showing why it’s worth paying for.

If you can’t sell, even the best product won’t succeed, I'm sorry /

3. Knowing who your solution is for and what they value

You can’t serve everyone.

Focus on a specific audience, understand their needs, and deliver what matters to them.

Niches create riches.

2. Testing whether your solution is needed before building
Don't spend months building something nobody wants.

Validate your idea early with surveys, landing pages, quick prototypes, feedback from forums.

If no one’s interested, move on fast.

1. Understanding pain points that people face
Entrepreneurship starts with empathy.

If you don’t deeply understand the problems your audience faces, you’re just guessing.

Great businesses solve real, specific pain points.

You’re not an entrepreneur just because you can code.

and neither am I (and I can't code)

Here what entrepreneurship is about (just to name a few) - Part 1

Thread 🧵

Trust me, by using this process you'll save countless hours of building something nobody wants. And yes, I'm talking from experience (unfortunately)...

So, before you spend weeks or months “squeezing lemons,” take a day to validate your SaaS idea.

Happy building.

Now, you probably would have got it by this time: the goal of this method is to simply find proof that the problem you want to solve actually exists.

If you can't find people who care about the problem you might want to rethink your idea.

I'm not affiliated in any way with GummySearch but it's by far my favorite tool for this task.

You buy the day pass for 10 bucks and it lets you analyze Reddit discussions quickly and effortlessly getting insanely valuable insights you wouldn't be able to get otherwise.
