My advice is to do a SaaS product of some form. You can do it in a low key sort of way that doesn't take much of your time (or make you quit your job or neglect your family), and it will generally make you more money each month (unless you're doing something strange that churns all your existing customers away each month).
Avoid anything ad-funded, such as blogs and whatnot. The ability to write software is way more lucrative than the ability to write words. Leverage that if you can.
- chii 13y agowhat sort of SaaS products are in demand? I wish there's a list of web products that people want, but doesn't currently exist (or exists in a poor form).
- odonnellryan 13y agoI think you just came up with one, although it may be more social-media-research instead of SaaS.
- chii 13y agoThe list-of-unavailable-SaaS product isn't going to generate any profit though...i can't think of a single reason why anyone would pay for such a list, or pay to vote on such a list.
- thematt 13y agoI could see someone maybe paying for something like that. I could see it being useful if each item in the list was a complete package, including well-thought-out detailed description, potential functionality, path to revenue, market breakdown, available domains, SEO opportunities, etc. You would have to figure out how to entice someone to purchase the item without giving them all the details, but my point is this could have at least some revenue potential.
- jakubgarfield 13y agoYou made an interesting point about ad-funded projects. Thank you for that. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any way to create SaaS with my existing projects and I would have to come up with something brand new. (The closest to that model Bonobo Git Server won't have a chance against Github)
