    Theoretical vs Real Business Potential - What Can You Really Achieve?

    QUESTION 
    I think this is a super important topic. I'm reminded of a few things: 1. We have superpowers and when we use them it's like we're in a slipstream and we move faster effortlessly. We often don't know what our superpowers are, and it's worth asking people who know us really well to fill in a...

    Is building your personal brand a good idea while building your SaaS?

    MARKETING 
    Yeah, and I'd say more business run off non-personal brands than run off them. Even freelancers/contractors don't *need* a personal brand. I've been running Google Ads since 2009 for an electrician who does appliance repairs. People search "washing machine repairs dublin", click his ad for...

    What about: Run Google Ads for all services, all locations, or both (this could be thousands or hundreds of thousands of ads). Let the data tell you where you can get leads. Use the leads to contact businesses and sign them up to get exclusive leads from locations you've proved you can get...

    Has any of you built a SaaS successfully when you were not familiar at all with the market before starting?

    QUESTION 
    What about providing a service first, naturally building processes and tools to help serve your *paying clients* better, then you sell access to those tools? So help people first, get paid to do so, then figure out how to do it at scale, with or without an official "SaaS"?

    Is LinkedIn marketing a good idea to grow your SaaS if you're still in a 9 5 job?

    MARKETING 
    What I meant was... for selling your SaaS, check out Striking viper's question. I'd take it one step further even. Who is already spending money to solve the problem your SaaS will solve? What are they currently spending it on? Audience = Interested Market = *Already* paying
