Looking for SaaS ideas
Hello everyone,
I hope you guys are doing well. I am a full stack web developer. I am thinking of building a SaaS product so that I can solve some of my financial problems and have a source that generates some revenues. If you guys can share some ideas it will be very helpful to me. Thanks
A SaaS won't solve your financial problems if anything it will make them a lot worse.
SaaS companies grow very slow and need a ton of work doing. You will also need to learn design, sales and marketing.
Thanks.

please stop to be hypocrite , this is great motivation !
It's my opinion and IH is a place where everyone can express his/her opinion without being insulted. Am I wrong?
Secondly, for me, making money in the first place was never a motivation. It always starts from my interest. I believe if someone has a real interest in something and will put resources/time/efforts into it money will come.
If you are interested to make money, you can go and find a normal job - you will make them for sure, what's the point to have such a hassle as a startup?!
Yes you are right. Finding a normal job is a way but that's not the only motivation. I should have explained my question. The thing is I am doing a full time job already but it is not enough to solve my financial problems because of the expenses. I want to grow the business so that I can quit the job and still support my family and spend time with them. That is my motivation tbh.
It still doesn't explain why you looked at creating your own SaaS instead of finding a better job. SaaS startup is like a lottery - you may win but you may lose your time/money/other resources - with much lower odds.
This may sound harsh, but your why is wrong.
You want to start a business to solve your financial problems. That can be one of your motivations, but if it is your only one, you will probably fail.
You need to see a problem and want to solve it. You need to see an unmet need and solve it. You need to want to give some value to the world that they will pay you for. Better than that, you need to want to give some value to a specific person you know and can talk to and have them pay you for it.
Good luck.
I totally agree but that is not the only motivation. I want to grow my business so that I don't have to do a full time job but still support my family and spend more time with them.
But I have to start somewhere.
Read thousands of guides about advertising, and make an agency to sell yourself (fiverr/upwork/...)
this is quick to build:
Informational website.
Web tool.
Don't go around fixing every design detail, if it works, amazing. Then you put up ads...

Thanks for ideas @Michael_Andreuzza. I really appreciate it.
