> What is an agency in this context?
Successful tech agencies that have been started by people I know:
- programming
- digital marketing
- social media
- web development
- SEO
- data science
- AI (this is emerging)
The agency is a business that goes to other businesses and offers to solve one or more of their business problems for a fee. Sometimes these fees are one-time payments, sometimes they are recurring, sometimes both. I recommend having recurring payments being baked into your agency model.
It’s a relatively easy way to get “ramen profitable” (or more!) along with some money to invest.
- akaljotc 3y agoquestion(s): would you consider a small saas product in this realm? that is, is there a clear distinction for what could be considered an agency vs a saas product? or is the line blurred in some contexts?
- csa 3y agoYeah. If you have a SaaS that has product-market fit, you are way ahead of the game. Cash cows don’t have to be agencies, but agencies are easier to spin up than a SaaS. In terms of nomenclature in general, productized consulting is a thing. Whether you can spin a healthy amount of recurring revenue from it depends on the SaaS product.
