Hi, I am fullstack dev and I've had several failed businesses based on my 'great' ideas. I have matured to the point where I now rely on real needs and problems.
Currently, I am working on resolving some problem, but it probably won't let me earn a lot of money (we will see). However, I've learned a lot (WordPress, marketing, ads, etc.).
From what I've read and learned, a better option is creating SaaS in B2B instead of B2C business (companies are more willing to spend more money).
I know that now I have to find a real problem in some niche with some companies.
Unfortunately, I currently can't see any problems or needs around my friends, hobbies, and work, so I probably have to use the sales safari method and make a list of niches/branches, read FB groups/forums/Reddit/X, and look for problems. The first question: what do you think about that strategy?
My second question is about validation. Let's say that I found a problem.
According to my knowledge, I would do the following steps:

My second question is about validation. Let's say that I found a problem.
According to my knowledge, I would do the following steps:
- Buy a domain.
- Create a simple landing page with a newsletter form to collect interested customers' emails and some screens designed in Figma.
- Write a post in the group/forum/Reddit/X about my idea (without posting the link, just information).
- Wait for subscriptions and conversations with potential (interested) customers.
- Decide whether to build an MVP or not.
