You’re building a $15/month SaaS.
That makes it harder because you have to make a lot of sales and sales is the hardest part of making money.
And worse, even if you provide 10x value it is probably not worth talking to you about whatever you are trying to sell…and you don’t really want customers who are optimizing a business around $150/month.
If you can only charge $15 a month, you are probably not addressing an important business issue.
And realistically, since 10k a month is maybe 1/2 the cost of a software engineer, you won’t be making enough to do things right in terms of sales, IT, and customer service.
In the end, you have lots of customers, the customers are likely to have little loyalty because the problem you solve is not high value, many customers will be cheapskates, and you don’t make enough to provide excellent customer service, a high quality product, and develop new business.
To a first approximation, developing a successful small business takes about as much hard work as developing a successful large business. Capital is where the difference mostly lies. That’s how capitalism works.
Whatever ideas landed you on $15/month are bad ideas.
Good luck.
