You are 99% likely to fail with SaaS as a first startup for 2 reasons:

— Not enough audience to support you — Not enough knowledge about customers' problems

Odds are against you

Start with these products to solve these issues.

Launching SaaS next would be a piece of cake.

1) Curated list 2) Notion template 3) Newsletter 4) Closed community 5) 30-day challenge 6) 1-person agency 7) Pre-recorded course 8) Podcast 9) Email course 10) Blog

What product idea would you add?



Mastermind groups are popular also. But I think it comes after closed community.


It's a great way to build connected community, learn insights and earn some money.
