Building a profitable SaaS in less than 60 days.

[flyordie]

MY BACKGROUND: Recent college grad, computer science background. Work as a software engineer.

IDEA: Service based business that helps others save tons of time and earn $$$. Won't go into too much detail, but the business model is similar to EcomHunt but in a different space. It's a "scratch my own itch" kind of problem that I know others will benefit from.

Got a TON of learning to do and problems to solve to craft my solution to the problem, and I'm using this thread to document the "process" and to hold myself accountable.

7 day goal: Know enough about my space to help 1 person
60 day goal: 1k MRR
6th month goal: sustainable income from this business that allows me to quit my job.

Follow along for more.
