Today, SourceZen is problem hunting

I found a very cleaver resource to help with problem hunting, aftermark.ai. The founder posted in the r/buildinpublic community on Reddit offering advice on how to advertise a Micro-SaaS. Then, at the end of offering high value, he had his plug for aftermark.

This is how I'm approaching my marketing now. It feels like 9/10 of the Micro-SaaS business is marketing (after validation). I'm learning as I go, since this is my first (of many) Micro-SaaS products.

Now, I'm doing my own problem hunting on Reddit. Using Gemini to help build useful replies to real problems people are having.

I got my first 2 organic signups.

A very interesting book to read with great insights into startups is "The Lean Startup" - And one of the most crucial pieces of feedback is that "customers don't care if a product takes a long time to make"

It can feel like we're being REALLY productive if we take 40+ hours building a feature, but if it doesn't solve a real pain point, no one will care. A tool that solves a real problem but only took 1 hour to build provides much more value.
