An in-demand Micro Saas Idea you should build right now. Niche: Podcasts

Hey, Tony here,

When I first began building my own small startups I used to just focus on building things I thought were interesting. I'm a software engineer by trade so I liked building and coding in general, however that led to a few startups that went absolutely nowhere. It turned out I thought they were interesting and other people couldn't have cared less. Bummer!

It's all a part of the process though. Failing and learning, failing and learning, failing and learning.

Through all the failing I learned that the best way to gauge if a startup idea has any chance of success is if there is SEO potential. This means that if I can target keywords around my startup idea then I know I have a chance to get customers and earn money because people are actively searching for the specific keywords. The key is to find startup ideas where you can target keywords that have a low keyword difficulty (this means it will be easy to start ranking in the top 10 on Google search) and a high search volume (i.e. people are currently searching for it).

I want to share a micro saas idea that fits the bill and a couple of keywords you can target for it.

What's the idea?

Podcast Transcription Translation Service

"A service that not only transcribes podcast episodes but also offers translation into multiple languages. This helps podcasters reach a global audience and expand their listener base beyond language barriers."

What's the SEO Potential?

Check this article out to find out why this is important.

It's pretty good to be fair. We have 2 keywords that have a low difficulty with 1 having a huge 2900 people searching for it on Google every month (the other with a very respectable 480 people searching for it). And those numbers are in the US alone so the potential for search volume worldwide is huge.

• Keyword: podcast transcription
  • Keyword Difficulty: 18
  • Average Search Volume: 2,900 per month
• Keyword: transcribe podcast
  • Keyword Difficulty: 18
  • Average Search Volume: 480 per month

What do you need to build it?

For this one you will need an API to retrieve podcast transcripts (Check out podscan.fm, it could be the perfect tool for this) or else you could get the audio from the podcasts and use AI to transcribe them (Whisper from OpenAI would be a good solution for this). Then you can use AI to translate the transcripts into whatever languages you want.

So there you go. A nice micro saas product that you could start ranking in the top 10 on Google for pretty easily. It's a pretty cool idea too and one that could definitely be extended into a full saas with a few more features. Build it, ship it, launch it, promote it, add it to directories and watch the customers flood in!

I share Micro Saas Ideas like this every week in my newsletter so feel free to join me here if this is your type of thing. If not then at least steal this idea!

Happy building!
