What is a Micro-SaaS and How to Create One
Micro-SaaS refers to a small SaaS that solves the particular needs of a niche market. It is a practice that has been getting more and more popular.

The minimal costs and time commitment make a micro-SaaS a great side hustle. Once (and if) the idea is validated and you're turning a profit then you can make it into a full-time business. If it doesn't work out then you haven't lost much either. It's a great risk-free option if you can come up with a good idea for a niche market.
This is good advice. New wantrepreneurs focus on creating a product/service for a big market because that's what they think they need to do to make money. In reality, you want to go for the niche markets because no one else is, and that's how you make the money. Sure, profits will likely be smaller but so will outlay. Better to have two or three micro-SaaS that turn a profit than a larger SaaS that doesn't.
Totally agree. I think having a diverse set of (small!) products/services feels like a much more manageable problem for an indie business than trying to hit one, big product out of the park.
Good read!
I am looking to build a micro-saas with no code.
Any advices for pricing strategies? Also, what do you think what is a good amount of users for micro-saas to be profitable and sustainable(not drown in customer support etc.)
Thank you!
The challenge with micro-saas are finding the marketing machine. Since it is always a niche idea, the path to find the marketing channel is hard.
