New Video: The Step-by-Step Blueprint to Build Your Micro SaaS

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

Have you ever felt stuck trying to figure out what to build, how to start, or even how to manage your time while balancing your 9-to-5? You’re not alone—I’ve been there too.

That’s why I created my latest video:
🎥 A Step-by-Step Blueprint to Build Your Micro SaaS While Working a 9-to-5​

This is the guide I wish I had when I started.

In This Video, You’ll Learn:

  • How to find the right problem to solve—start with the problem, not the product.
  • How to validate your idea early with actionable techniques like landing pages and feedback loops.
  • How to build a lean MVP (Minimum Viable Product) quickly with no-code tools or AI-powered platforms.
  • Time management tips to balance your job and your side project without burning out.

Here’s a Quick Preview of the Blueprint:

Start with the Problem, Not the Product:

  1. Discover actionable ways to identify pain points in your daily life or work.
  2. Learn from examples like Remy AI and Me.bot, which solved simple but real problems.

Validate Early and Often:

  1. Use tools like Carrd to create simple landing pages and gauge interest.
  2. Share your idea with relevant communities on LinkedIn, Slack, or Reddit to get feedback.

Build a Lean MVP:

  1. Focus on one core feature that solves the main problem.
  2. Explore no-code tools like Bubble or Webflow and AI-assisted platforms to accelerate development.

Master Time Management:

  1. Block just 30 minutes a day to build momentum.
  2. Use tools like Trello or Notion to track tasks and stay consistent.

Why This Video Matters

Building a Micro SaaS alongside your 9-to-5 isn’t just possible—it’s completely manageable with the right approach. By breaking the process into small, actionable steps, you can make real progress without overwhelming yourself.

Imagine this:
You’re working your day job, but on the side, you’re building something of your own—something meaningful.

This video will give you the clarity and roadmap to make it happen.
