Singles

Musicians used to release single albums. If it worked, they released a full album with the popular single. What’s the singles equivalent of software?

Single feature micro-SaaS.

Just solve one small pain point. Solve it well. Put a small payment link behind it. That’s it! If it works, add more features until you got a full featured SaaS. If not, stay small and single, and let it run its course.

Why not, right? Riiight?

It just hit me that I’ve actually been building single feature software all along. My Carrd plugins are my original ‘singles’. Something that I build within 30min or so. A carousel slider. A nav bar. An accordion for FAQs. If I can do that consistently every month for Carrd plugins over three years, maybe I can do that for SaaS too?

Don’t even think about a full SaaS.
Kill that thought immediately.
Think micro.

Think singles.
