DemandProbe: Market Validation for Micro SaaS Builders

honestly bro you're not forced to fail, you're doing the thing 99% of people do when they start : you're shipping products, not solving problems 2 months / 3 saas = you spent like 3 weeks max on each one. nobody builds an audience, validates demand, or gets first sales in 3 weeks. not possible the real issue isn't the product, it's that every project you described started with "what can i build" instead of "what are people already paying for" \- crypto meme bots → casino, not a business \- financios → gen z students saving money, a segment that historically doesn't spend on saas \- sollicitatie-coach → chatgpt does this for free \- zenkai → cool idea but you shipped before anyone asked for it also you said you "did some tiktoks and reels". how many ? 10 ? 30 ? because the people actually making it post 300+ times before the first real sale. distribution is boring, repetitive, and way harder than coding. that's the filter you're half right on one thing : you're probably bad at selling. but that's not a character flaw, it's literally a skill you haven't practiced yet. you've been practicing coding, which you're now good at, and it's not the bottleneck anymore pick zenkai (sounds like the one you actually care about), stop building new features for 90 days, and spend that time only on getting 10 paying users. dms, posts, conversations. you'll learn more in those 3 months than in 2 years of shipping

You built products nobody wanted. Focus on solving a real problem for real people before you code anything.

I don’t think your problem is that you “suck at selling” — it’s that you’ve been building in a vacuum. If you look at what you described, there’s a clear pattern: – you build first – then try to find users – then move on when it doesn’t work The issue is that none of those ideas were validated *before* you spent time building. And honestly, 2 months + 3 projects with 0 users is very normal if you’re doing it that way. The people making money from SaaS usually flip the order: → they start from real conversations where people are already struggling → manually help / validate the problem → then build something around that Right now, you’re trying to create demand. What works better (especially early) is: → intercepting demand For example: instead of building a CV tool and posting TikToks, go to places where people are actively saying: “I’m not getting interviews, what’s wrong with my CV?” Help them manually first. See if your advice actually works. Then turn *that exact process* into a product. Same with your gym/anime idea — it might be fun, but: are people actively complaining about this problem anywhere? If not, it’s going to be very hard. Also one important shift: 0 users doesn’t mean failure — it means: you haven’t been close enough to the problem yet. If you focus on: – finding real conversations – understanding how people describe their pain – helping them before building you’ll learn more in 2 weeks than the last 2 months. If you want, share one of your ideas and I can help you pressure-test it the way real users would.
