Would you pay $300/month to get help for your SaaS MVP?

Will you pay $300/month to get help for your SaaS MVP?

Help includes: ideation, planning, building, launching, and marketing.

Would you pay for this? If yes, how much is the ideal price?

    I would pay $300/month for you to validate ideas for me. However, what do I really get for that price? I would be very suspicious if you are building and marketing my idea at the level that would get me validation and feedback for $300.

    But if you can achieve results at that price, I would pay you more than $300 to validate a host of ideas.

    As your offer is defined right now, no I wouldn't.

    Already it's a red flag for me that you are asking a question that simply cannot be answered with the information you have given.

    -You don't even have a profile: who are you?
    -You don't list your abilities: what are you good at?
    -You don't list your background: what did you accomplish?
    -You don't clearly define your offer and you want to help me with marketing?? (I know you probably know about all that and you are just asking a quick question informally but...) "Help with ideation, planning, marketing" are all good but very vague. It doesn't even mention whether I get "x hours working one-on-one" or what else.

    Would I pay 300$/month for Seth Godin to help me? You bet! With a bottle of Spanish wine, too.
    Would I pay 300$/month for my brother-in-law to help me? Nope.

    That said, there's definitely a need for these services for technical people like me, but I would think most normal people think twice before they spend on a 300-dollar-range-product. The benefit must be clear and certain. Or maybe it's only me and my minimalist mindset ;-)

    Help how? If you’re genuinely going to make a difference to someone’s business then you should be charging at least 10x that

    yes I would

    However..@andhap is asking what is it that YOU do ?

    When he asks you " Where exactly are you in the process? "

    What he means is...

    is this a service that you have created..is it up and running..or just an idea bouncing around in your head...are you the one giving the help...and if so what are your skills ?

    And define help...what is your stack...what is the service package you offer ?

    Front end..back end...are you a bot specialist ...into data science ?

    300 is nice...but what do I get for that ?

    Hello Duru,

    Where exactly are you in the process? Do you have an idea and need someone technical? I can help with most of the things except marketing, although your offer sounds quite low. Will be happy to spend some time with you discussing your idea and give you an estimate (in terms of time) of the project.

      Not sure you understood my question. I was asking if people are willingly to pay $300/month to have someone help them in validating their SaaS MVP.

        Right, so you are using this question to validate your idea of providing consultancy services for $300/month?

          1. 1

            Ok. I am new here and never knew people will use this forum as a test bed to validate ideas - my bad.

            I have come across consultancies charging a one-off fee for the same service. I am not sure how a monthly charge like this will work, unless ofcourse someone just wants to churn out ideas on a monthly basis and see which one sticks.

            As far as $300 price goes - it sounds incredibly low.

            Hope it helps!
