How do I get to $100 MRR?


Let's say I'm a web developer, not by any means a senior developer or prodigy, but more than competenent enough to build a reasonable SaaS tool or service.

If you were me, how would you go about finding a project to work on, making that project, launching it, and generating revenue?

My primarily pain-point at the moment is finding vali ideas which I believe in enough to pursue. I try to look at problems and am constantly searching for opportunity, but I must just not have an eye for it as I struggle to concoct actionable ideas.

1. Go find someone that has the authority to pay you money to build something.

2. if you think someone else might want that thing build that thing for person 1 and get paid while building it.

3. After you finish v1 for person 1, go find another person that would pay you to use most of v1 with a little bit of tweaking for themselves

4. Build v2 of the app for person 2. Get paid while building v2.

5. You now have most of a product and have been paid to build it. Try to generalize the product in a way that makes more people want to buy it. Build that version (v3) and try to sell it to new people.

6. Continue to develop the product (v3+) only building things that make you more money.
